EarDrum is an all-in-one app for drum practice and rhythm training.
Built by a drummer for drummers, EarDrum gives you the tools to practice timing and groove, train active listening and memory, and learn songs.
Whether you're practicing at home or building lessons for your students, EarDrum gives your practice structure — and real-time feedback on every hit you play. Use it with your electronic drums, MIDI controller, practice pad, or on-screen kit — import MIDI files, create custom exercises, and track progress over time.
FOR DRUMMERS
- Growing library of timing exercises and rudiments for subdivisions, accents, grooves, independence, and double bass
- Collections that play your chosen exercises back-to-back — for building structured, repeatable practice routines
- Ear training exercises of increasing complexity — recognize rhythms by ear and play them back from memory
- A short Getting Started course for building rhythmic foundations
- Tempo-changing sessions that build speed, control, and endurance
- Focused practice built from the song sections you're learning, teacher assignments, or drum book exercises
- MIDI song import for play-along practice with looping and custom sections
- Metronome with subdivision and time signature selection
FOR EDUCATORS
- Custom timing and ear training exercises, from simple patterns to multi-bar phrases, tailored to your students
- A simple, fast sequencer-style exercise builder
- Shareable exercise links your students or followers can import and practice in the app
PLAY YOUR WAY
- Support for e-drums via USB or Bluetooth MIDI, a practice pad using the built-in mic, or virtual drums on screen
- DAW-grid and sheet music views for different ways of reading drum parts
- Adjustable tempo, hit tolerance, repeat settings, and volume levels
TRACK YOUR PROGRESS
- Real-time visual timing feedback — see whether notes land early, late, or on time
- Velocity feedback for dynamics exercises — train the stroke technique behind clean, consistent accents, taps, and ghost notes
- Comprehensive session results with rushing/dragging analysis and accuracy/velocity charts
- A practice dashboard with history, streaks, total time practiced, and recent sessions
EarDrum is more than a metronome or a rhythm game. It's a practice studio for drummers, percussionists, teachers, and anyone serious about rhythm — a place to become a better musician.

Developer Response
Thank you! 'Main practice tool' is honestly the goal, so that's great to hear. Lots more in the works.
- Smoother onboarding — simplified flow for new users, plus optional in-session tips that appear contextually and can be skipped
- A few new multi-bar versions of existing ear training exercises for an added musical memory challenge.
