DRUM APPS

In this day and age, when smartphone applications have become commonplace, it was only a matter of time before drum apps appeared in the market. Each of them features a metronome, so every drummer can take his or her pocket click track on the road or to a rehearsal. However, it is merely a basic drum app functionality. They allow for practicing all kinds of rhythms, figures, grooves and fills in every tempo imaginable, with and without backup tracks. PolyNome, Play With Loops, Tempo, Drum Tuning Calculator, Drum Guru (Peter Erskine and Aaron Spears), Jammit, Mike Johnston’s Groove Freedom, iDrumTuner, Soundbrenner are just a few names that immediately come to mind. It’s a good idea to take some time to find out which of them could become a great support in a drummer’s work.
