Drum School is divided in five main sections: Grooves, Practice, Technique, Hits and Favorites.
- GROOVES - This is the main section of Drum School with over 300 drum grooves in many different styles. Each groove comes with: - Standard drum notation with high quality graphics in portrait or landscape mode. - High quality audio made from real drum samples that loop for play along practice. - Variable tempo range of 30 to 300 bpm without any loss of audio quality. - Audio isolation of what each limb is playing, allowing the student to break down the groove into its basic components, learn them separately, and finally put them back together in various combinations. - Bass lines that help learning and experiencing the relationship between the drums and the bass in each style in a fun way. - High quality video performance by the author of the app, established and world renowned drummer, Ferenc Nemeth. The video speed can be adjusted and the more advanced grooves come with an extra video at a slower tempo. - Multiple drum fills that can be practiced individually or in conjunction with the groove in 2, 4 or 8 bar phrases. - Color coded indication of difficulty level from 1 (easy) to 6 (hard). - Ability to mark the groove as completed so you can better track your practice progress. - Detailed description of performance details, learning tips and historical notes about each style.

8 of 25Awesome!
Wow! This is an amazing drum app! Tons of exercises, grooves, and mini-lessons with a lot of capability to adjust tempos, set timers and track progress. Clearly a lot of thought went into writing this app. I really enjoy using this when I don’t quite have time for a full practice session Much appreciated!
Great App! Unfortunately sometimes the video on the bottom half of the screen is freezing. Please check it out.
I’m a beginning drummer, and the tools provided are absolutely useful. I take lessons, and I use this app for practice daily.
If you are intermediate to advanced, this app is not for you. Fairly simple beats but interesting
As a former musician learning the drum set, this app is fantastic. I see the true potential this app has. I have already learned so much from it. As a beginning drummer, being able to slow down and speed up the riffs makes my learning experience top notch. This app has elevated my motivation. I want to play more. I want to learn more. Simply put, a fantastic app.
For beginnings through experienced drummers this app provides excellent drills. Consistent repetition lays down foundational skills I use it every day and love it. I even use it w my students to teach phonics and math. Many many uses.
I would pay $120 for this app and it would still be worth it! This is the best drum set app in my opinion. It has been one of the most effective aids that has improved my drumming. 5/5
