NEW in 2.0: Build a daily drum practice routine you actually stick to. The app runs it. The sticking coach listens. Just press start.
YOUR DRUM PRACTICE ROUTINE. JUST PRESS START
Stop wasting the first ten minutes deciding what to play tonight. You build the routine once — the exercises, lessons, and rudiments you care about. Drum Journal runs it from your music stand every day, listens to your hits on a real practice pad, and logs the reps. Show up, press start, get better.
DELIBERATE PRACTICE, EVERY TIME
Open the app. The routine you built is queued, timed, and ready to run. Warm-up, rudiments, the YouTube lesson you're working on, laid out the way you want them. No deciding what to play tonight. No setup tax.
A ROUTINE THAT LISTENS
The built-in sticking coach uses your device's microphone to hear you play on a practice pad. Real feedback on your timing, dynamics, and consistency — built into your routine, not a separate tool.
PRACTICE TO ANY VIDEO, AT ANY SPEED
Drop any YouTube drum lesson into your routine. Slow it down, loop the hard bar, mark the section that's killing you. Drum Journal sits on your music stand and stays out of your way.
PROOF THE PRACTICE IS WORKING
Every session logs automatically. Streaks, time on each rudiment, whether your timing is tightening week over week. Show up daily and watch the data confirm what your hands already feel.
LEARN FROM OTHER DRUMMERS
Browse exercises shared by other drummers. Pick what fits your level, drop it into your routine.
FREE TO PRACTICE. PRO TO SEE IF IT'S WORKING.
Everything you need to build and run your routine is free: exercises, the sticking coach, YouTube practice, streaks, and session logs. Drum Journal Pro unlocks advanced analytics. See whether your timing is actually tightening, whether one hand plays inconsistent flams, whether your routine is moving the needle. Plus community sharing and data export.
The practice is simple. Showing up is hard. Drum Journal makes showing up the easy part.

Great tool for keeping track of your drumming journey.

Love this app. I like that it has instant feedback on timing, you can create your own patterns or import them from the shared user library(I just grabbed inverted paradiddles from another user submission). I have some songs to learn , so I gave it the YT URL and appreciate that I can slow them down. I know you can do that on YT, but you can also loop sections too. I know YT can’t do that. All this while keeping a log of your practice sessions.

Thanks for that review! The community is already starting to share some interesting sticking exercises. There should be more to come soon!
Part of my daily routine!

Love this app, even using for just the past week has netted me noticeable gains in my rhythm.I love that you can track your accuracy over-time, it really helps with motivation and even encouragement to practice more!This app has already become a powerful tool to me as a drummer, and I’m sure that as more people upload community exercises, it’ll grow still more in value.Try it! I’m not paid or have any type of relationship to the creator btw.
Developer Response
Thank you! That makes me very happy that you can already see tangible differences! There will be many more practice features in the app, I'm glad you're here for it!

The main thing I love about this app is it shows you if your hits on the right and left hand are landing accurately. It’ll tell you if each hand is either late, early or within the sweet spot which has a little give if you’re either late or early. Then it’ll give you an accuracy rating between 1-100%.It works perfectly for pad practice and seems to work well with the practice on acoustic drums although I’m not super fast so I can’t speak to how well it’ll pick up drummers who really push the bpms. It catalogues your practice sessions automatically. Feels more like a game to me to see how accurate I can be and takes the monotony out of playing. Another cool feature is it lets you import a YouTube link of music you want to learn. You can slow songs down and play along slowly working them up to speed.

Thanks so much for this review! "Takes the monotony out of playing" is exactly what I was hoping this app would do!
