Description

"If you’re looking for a great resource to develop and maintain your beat vocabulary and rudimental proficiency, this is a great place to start." - Modern Drummer

theDrumDictionary is a great tool for drummers, band leaders, producers, or anyone looking to learn more about drums. It includes all 40 standard snare drum rudiments and over 100 full drum set beats in a variety of styles. For each example, there is notation and tempo-adjustable audio. theDrumDictionary also includes a built-in metronome, making it a great all-in-one practice tool.

For Practice:
• Make the most of your practice time with the built-in metronome
• Adjust the tempo of the example audio to help learn those tricky parts or to push your skill to the next level of speed
• Keep track of your time spent practicing each beat or rudiment

Lists:
• Create a list of your favorite beats in different styles
• Create lists for what you'd like to practice
• Drum instructors, create a separate list for each of your students

theDrumDictionary is also great for non-drummers who are interested in knowing a little about drums: band leaders who want to communicate better with their drummer, musicians who want to program realistic drum parts in their songs, and the list goes on...

Entries include
• All 40 standard snare drum rudiments
• Over 100 drum set beats in a variety of styles: Rock, Jazz, World, Funk and more

Hidden gem for drummers!

I can’t believe this app doesn’t have a spot on the top apps list!

The app is great for zoning in on your rudimentary drumming. If you’re playing the kit and you don't know your basic 26 rudiments YOU NEED THIS APP!! This app will teach you each rudiment through audio + visuals plus odd time signatures and multiple grooves from each genre of music! Learn the rudiments your favorite drummer is playing that make his/her playing style seem unreal! Do yourself a favor, download this app and USE IT! You’ll quickly add the rudimentary drumming vocabulary to your playing which will give you the ability to expand your fills/grooves to new heights!
Must have for any drummer HANDS DOWN!—-JA

Fantastic

Excellent drum app! Excellent for learning and practicing.

My only request: would you make a feature which sorts all beats and rudiments by time practiced? Most to least, and least to most? And then add a feature which allows the user to click on the beat or rudiment and go directly to practice!

Also, would be helpful to show an average/ history of bpm practices so the user can log his or her progress! Overall 10/10 fantastic app!!!

Fantastic App For Drummers

Even if you’ve been playing a long time like I have, this is still a great app for anyone! I was having some minor issues with my left hand and decided to get off the kit and work the rudiments for awhile. The audio alone is fantastic for strengthening your weak hand and gaining speed the right way! Highly recommended!👍🏻👍🏻
