Best tutorial free drum app I have found in the last 3 years..
03/10/2024

airdruls8O8
I am a 40 yr old drummer that has played since I could talk basically...out of approx. 40 free drumming apps I have tried out, this one is my favorite so far! I do not have to connect it to my ekit nor use my acoustic if I do not want to. All one needs is a drumming pad & sticks!It helps with rudiments, accents, speed, coordination, timing, etc.The new featuee that shows the hands & feet, I could go without though. For me personally, I can understand your instructions without (accept for somba beats now that I think of it).

Hi airdruls, wow—thank you for your incredible review! 🎉🥁 It means a lot coming from a lifelong drummer like you. We’re thrilled to hear that Drum Coach stands out among the many apps you’ve tried and that it’s helping with your rudiments, coordination, and timing! We totally get that the hands & feet feature might not be for everyone, but it’s great to hear that it helps with samba beats. Your feedback is super valuable, and we’ll keep refining the experience to make it even better. If you ever have more suggestions or ideas, we’d love to hear them at support@upbeat.studio. Keep grooving and enjoying your practice! 🚀🔥🎵

Seems great so far but…

I am a brand new drummer. Just got my electric kit and getting some one on one drum lessons, but need to practice at home. Was hoping this could eventually be my music drumming teacher. I put together a AI plan and as you go through the workflow on question 4 or 5. (I think) the button to go to the next page in the workflow is unselectable as the button image is barely showing at the bottom of my iOS. I am hoping maybe my Fire tablet will have a UI without this bug. If you are noticing that there are not a lot of people signing up for drum plans this is why. Please fix this bug so I can set up my custom practice plan. Thank you so much

Thanks so much for your detailed feedback and for reporting the issue! 🙏 We're looking into the UI bug right now to make sure you can complete your drum plan smoothly. In the meantime, if you encounter anything else or want to share more details, feel free to reach out to us at support@upbeat.studio. Happy drumming! 🥁💪

Amazing app with only one little problem

Skechmaster95
This app is a great way for beginner drummer like myself to learn to play but their is just one little issue that I have come across. This app uses a plan of several weeks to get better and it doesn’t show how many days you have played which makes it easy to lose track of how many days you’ve played if you play more than once a day.

Developer Response
Hey Skechmaster95! Thanks so much for the awesome review — we're really glad Drum Coach is helping you learn! 🥁🙌That’s a great point about tracking practice days, especially if you play more than once a day. We’ll definitely look into adding a clearer way to see your progress and how many days you’ve practiced.If you have any more ideas or feedback, feel free to shoot us a message at support@upbeat.studio — we’re always listening!Keep on drumming! 🔥🥁

It’s the little things that frustrate me

There is a voice that speaks when you perform many actions. While there is an option to silence the voice, it doesn’t silence it all the time or everywhere. There are not any options for shutting down this annoying voiceover in the app settings. If you want to send an email to support you are only allowed to do so with the IOS mail app. If you uninstall mail, the app will want you to reinstall mail so that the app can then use it. This is a terrible way to handle app support emails.I am not sure what the app considers intermediate, but the exercises it provided me were very basic and always included the annoying voice over.The options for type of music are very limited, and practice is very static, even at different levels. Overall, this is probably a decent app for beginners or basic skill maintenance, but not much more than that. Considering the other issues with the app that I outlined above, I won’t be paying for a subscription.

Dear user, thank you for your detailed feedback. This is very important to us. Regarding the support contact, you can reach out to us at anytime at support@upbeat.studio. You are right about the voice-over no being muted in all cases. We are working on solving that very soon. And regarding the level customization, that's a tough one to get perfect for all user but this is our obsession and although we are perfect yet, we hope to get there very soon.I would appreciate to hear more from your experience on the app. Feel free to reach out to us. Good drumming.
