1. I have achieved this by creating an algorithm that uses a single bar of a rudiment to generate diverse and adjustable practice tracks that I believe will enrich the training sessions of drummers and interested musicians, while substantially saving phone storage space.
2. Drumate lets you take advantage of the processing power in your phone to generate a vast amount of training patterns from a single rudiment. • Constant: practice the rudiment at a constant speed, with or without rests.
3. The app currently uses Android's internal synthesizer for playback, but with your appreciated help and contribution when installing Drumate Basic or purchasing the Premium version, I will be able to buy a software license for better snare and metronome sounds.
4. Use this mode to push you further when gaining speed. • Up and Down: start at an initial tempo that will be increased on each bar, until it gets to a maximum value and then decreases to the initial value.
5. This mode is useful when getting used to the rudiment structure and feel. • Steps: play for sets of steps, each at its own tempo.
6. Rudiments are basic exercises for drummers meant to increase your speed, ability and creativity when playing the drums.
7. This mode allows you to practice from "open to close to open" and is great to cover a wide range of speed to increase your resistance and speed.
8. I myself am a drummer and I developed this app because I thought it was possible to harness the power of phones to do more than just play tracks.
9. But it's just not enough to play along a single tempo track to master them.
10. The rudiments can be filtered by type, and you can mark rudiments as Favorites so you can filter them and focus on sets of rudiments.
11. It is a great tool for musicians, specially drummers and percussionists.
1. Constructive criticism: a visualization of what beat you are on in the rudiment would be great (think of the note lighting up while it plays), it would be great if the noise that is played could be changed, and it can be difficult to hear the click of the rudiment, even when playing on a practice pad without using an external speaker.I've only used it twice, but it is already helping me to be a better drummer.
2. Right now that requires breaks for setup and external stopwatch, would be nice to have it automated inside the app.Although I would love the app to allow some kind of editing for the rudiments ( for example change where the accents lay or subdivision s) that's no reason to recognise how useful it is in performing more accurate rudiments.
3. The only thing that would make the app better is just a basic metronome function (without the rudiments).Great app :) The only feature that I think it's missing is a way to chain rudiments with set durations into a kind of playlist to create a routine.
4. I used to practice rudiments to a metronome, but hearing the rudiment as I play is a big help.
5. So depending on my rhythm it can be as quick as 40 minutes practicingNice app to work on rudiments a really solid app but the only problem is 40 is the lowest you can go and I can play at any tempo fine.
6. However the app is When I have the time, I use the app To go through all 39 available rudiments, and I remain on each rudiment until I play Each one close to flawlessly for 1 minute straight.
7. A well thought out app for sure.An excellent app for practicing the "Most important rudiments." So to be clear, this app has what many drummers consider to be the most important rudiments, not necessarily the 40 basic, but the 40 most important.
8. But the one thing I noticed is after playing the single stroke roll for a while it has a tendency of cutting off in the middle of the rudiment and restart again.
9. Love that it lets you hear what the rudiment sounds like and that you can play along to it exactly in order to get the count just right.
10. This app is pretty great for practicing rudiments.
11. I haven't had a chance to play all the rudiments.
