EarDrum: Drum Practice Studio
Rudiments, Beats & MIDI Songs
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
EarDrum is an all-in-one toolkit 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 — all in one place.
Whether you're practicing at home, teaching in the classroom, or building lessons for students, EarDrum turns rhythm work into a structured, measurable routine with real-time feedback on every hit you play. Use it with your electronic drums, practice pad, MIDI controller, 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
- 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
- Transcribe song sections, teacher assignments, or drum book exercises into focused custom practice
- MIDI song import for play-along practice with looping and custom sections
- Metronome with subdivision and time signature selection
FOR EDUCATORS
- Create custom timing and ear training exercises tailored to your students
- A simple, fast sequencer-style exercise builder
- Share exercises via a link with your students or online audience — they can import and practice them in the app
PLAY YOUR WAY
- Practice with 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 feedback while you play — see whether notes land early, late, or on time
- Velocity feedback for dynamics exercises to help you develop and automate the motions of drumming
- Comprehensive session results with rushing/dragging feedback and accuracy/velocity charts
- Practice home 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.

This version includes several powerful upgrades to how you practice and organize your exercises.
- Exercises can now be grouped into collections. You can practice an entire collection as a continuous sequence, with exercises playing in a customizable order — perfect for building structured, repeatable practice routines.
- Starting an exercise is faster too: you can now launch any built-in exercise directly from the library, without extra steps.
- Each exercise can now optionally save its own settings — duration, tempo, and tempo changes — so you can preserve your preferred setup for any exercise you return to.
- Finally, hit detection is now more flexible — you can configure timing and velocity tolerance independently, so you can dial in exactly how strict or forgiving the app is for each dimension of your playing.
