Drum Buddha

Every feature free, forever. No streaks, no goals, no accounts — just the grooves and the time you spend with them. Learn a groove, capture an idea, jam, and keep time.

A calm place to sit down at your drums and play.

Drum Buddha is a practice room, not a teacher, a game, or a gym. No streaks to keep. No scores to chase. No account to make. Just the grooves and the time you spend with them.

LEARN GROOVES A library of original patterns in real drum notation — rock, funk, jazz, latin, shuffle, hip-hop, and more. Mute or solo any voice (kick only, add snare, add hats), slide the tempo, loop it, and record a take when it feels right. Build your own grooves in the grid editor.

KEEP TIME WITH PULSE A metronome worth its own tab: subdivisions, odd meters, accent patterns, gap click, tempo ramp, tap tempo, and a silent visual pulse for late-night pad work. On Apple Watch, the click becomes a haptic tap on your wrist.

PRACTICE THE FUNDAMENTALS The 40 rudiments with notation, sticking, and playback at your pace. A shelf of fills, coordination drills for limb independence, loops, and quiet practice routines.

JAM WITH A BAND THAT WAITS FOR YOU Pick a style, key, and tempo — bass and keys vamp while you hold the groove. Record the take, in portrait or landscape.

CAPTURE EVERY IDEA Tap a beat on your knees and record it before it slips away. Trim on a waveform, slow it down, and recover deleted recordings for 30 days.

MADE FOR IPHONE & IPAD A calm, uncluttered layout that opens up on the bigger screen.

YOURS, ON YOUR DEVICE Your grooves, takes, and ideas live on your phone — no account, no cloud sync. Optional anonymous analytics are off by default; turn them on only if you want to help improve the app. Free, with an optional tip jar — every feature unlocked from day one.
