Fun and helpful game for experienced drummer!

As a drummer who knows how to read music and has experience playing, I found this game helpful with paying closer attention to my precision with timing. This app lets you know if you’re early or late with each individual stroke, which has helped me understand when I tend to play ahead or behind. This has especially come in useful when I record myself playing my actual drums. Also, the different combinations of rights and lefts remind me of sticking patterns I could use more when playing. I would especially recommend this app for beginner drummers as it not only guides you with how to play certain rhythms, but it also teaches you how to read those rhythms using actual musical notations.

Developer Response ,

Thank you for such a thoughtful and thorough review! I’m so happy to see that you’re getting a lot out of it. My goal is to provide a fun way for anyone to learn to play and it is nice to hear that it seems that’s happening here. All the best and happy drumming!

Innovative way to learn music

This is a really cool app that not only teaches you basic rhythm and drum skills, but also the fundamental music theory that supports further learning of music even outside a percussion setting. It’s a decent accompaniment to a beginning music student’s normal music instruction and is great to work with in between lessons.

Developer Response ,

Thanks so much for the thoughtful review! I’m so glad you find it a useful tool for learning music. My goal is for it to be a fun-to-play game that engages users, and also a valuable educational resource for anyone looking to learn. I’ve been getting some useful feedback from early users, and implementing improvements in each update. Please feel free to send any feedback on how to meet your needs to hello@drum-student.com. Thank you again and happy drumming!
