Description

Static videos won’t make you a drummer. That’s why we built Drum Coach: an award-winning, AI-powered tutor that adapts to you, grows with you, and makes every practice session count.
Created together with Professor Steimberg (Berklee College of Music), Drum Coach blends expert pedagogy with cutting-edge AI to give you clear routines, live feedback, and a learning journey that feels personal and inspiring.
WHY DRUM COACH STANDS OUT
1. +800 curated exercises – Rudiments, grooves, drills, fills… automatically selected and sequenced for your level and progress.
2. AI practice plans – Smart learning paths adapt every time you play, so practice never feels repetitive or random.
3. Direct teacher feedback – Share your recordings and receive comments from real pro drummers, guiding you like in a live lesson.
4. One-to-one AI chat – Got a daily question about grips, notation, or practice routines? Ask our built-in coach and get instant answers.
5. Always fresh – New lessons, exercises, and routines are added regularly to keep your practice exciting and relevant.
6. Teachers Approved – Trusted by educators and recognized for its learning quality.
7. Grammy Academy Award – Honored for helping make music more accessible worldwide, ensuring drumming knowledge is preserved and shared.
8. Modern, intuitive design – Built for focus, flow, and joy. Clear layouts, motivating visuals, and simple navigation mean zero friction between you and your practice.
FEATURES THAT DRUMMERS LOVE
1. Personalized AI Tutor – Not just lessons, but a full path that listens, adapts, and challenges you.
2. Metronome that teaches – Integrated into your lessons to help you truly internalize tempo and groove.
3. Progress tracking – Celebrate milestones and visualize how your playing evolves week after week.
4. Practice anywhere – Full kit, pad, or even just your hands—every exercise can be done on your terms.
WHO IT’S FOR
1. Beginners – Build confidence with fundamentals and smart practice plans.
2. Intermediate drummers – Break through plateaus with advanced rudiments, coordination, and speed work.
3. Teachers & students – Use Drum Coach as the ultimate practice companion between lessons.

Ratings and Reviews
Best tutorial free drum app I have found in the last 3 years..
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).
Developer Response ,
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
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! 🔥🥁
