DrumLock: Drum Practice App

DrumLock is a drum practice app that allows you to turn any song into a guided practice routine. Build your routine from timed segments, each one a song section to loop, a rudiment with its notation, or your own uploaded notes, and play straight through, hands-free.

Import your backing tracks, loop the hard sections, slow songs down to learn the parts (with the original key preserved), and drum along. It's also a sample-accurate metronome, the complete PAS rudiment library, a speed trainer, and a practice journal. Everything a drummer needs to structure practice, in one app.

No ads. No accounts. Works completely offline. Your data stays on your device.

WHY DRUMLOCK?
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Most metronome apps just click. DrumLock structures your entire drum practice session.

Learning a new song? Import the recording, set trim points around the chorus you're drilling, and loop it at 75% speed until your hands know it. Building speed on a rudiment? Set the speed trainer and let it climb while you play. Following Stick Control or Syncopation? Photograph the page, drop it into a routine segment, and play to it.

Students working through method books, band drummers learning a setlist, anyone trying to get better: everything stays in one place.
