DrumLock: 5-in-1 Drumming App

Drummers end up juggling five apps: a metronome, a speed trainer, a rudiment chart, a slow downer for songs, and something to log practice.

DrumLock is all five in one place, tied together by practice routines that run themselves. Build a routine from timed segments, each one a song section to loop, a rudiment with its notation, or your own uploaded notes. Press start and play straight through, hands-free.

Four of the five are free. The fifth, unlimited custom routines, playing your songs slowed down and looped, is a one time $4.99 unlock. No ads. No accounts. Works completely offline. Your data stays on your device.

WHY DRUMLOCK
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Most metronome apps just click. DrumLock structures the whole session.

Learning a song? Import the recording, trim to the chorus, loop it at 75% until your hands know it. Building speed? Set the trainer and let it climb. Working through a method book? Photograph the page, drop it in a segment, and play to it.

Free to download. Try it in your next practice session.
