More About Drum Coach: Practice & Lessons

Your personal drum tutor powered by AI and trusted by teachers.
Static videos won’t make you a drummer. Drum Coach is different: an award-winning app that adapts to you, grows with you, and makes every practice session count.

Created together with Professor Steimberg (Berklee College of Music), Drum Coach blends proven pedagogy with smart AI to give you clear routines, live feedback, and a practice journey that feels fresh and motivating.

WHY DRUM COACH STANDS OUT
1. +800 curated exercises – Rudiments, grooves, sheets, drills, fills… all automatically picked for your level.
2. AI practice plans – A smart path that updates every time you play, so practice never feels repetitive.
3. Direct teacher feedback – Share your recordings with real teachers and get personal advice.
4. One-to-one AI chat – Got a question about notation, grips, or routines? Ask your coach anytime.
5. Always fresh – New lessons and routines added constantly to keep you inspired.
6. Recognized quality – Teachers Approved on Play Store and honored by the Grammy Academy for making music more accessible worldwide.
7. Modern, intuitive design – Built to make practice simple, clear, and fun.

FEATURES THAT DRUMMERS LOVE
1. Personalized AI tutor – Not just a list of lessons, but a full path that adapts to you.
2. Metronome that teaches – Integrated into your routines to help you internalize tempo and groove.
3. Progress tracking – Celebrate milestones and see your drumming evolution.
4. Practice anywhere – Use a full kit, a pad, or even just your hands.

WHO IT’S FOR
1. Beginners – Build confidence with core beats, notation, and rudiments.
2. Intermediate drummers – Break through plateaus with coordination, speed, and sheet-reading.
3. Students & teachers – Use Drum Coach as the perfect practice companion between lessons.

WHAT DRUMMERS SAY
1. “DrumPlan completely changed how I practice. Clear routines, easy tracking, and pro tips. Finally making real progress!” – David P.
2. "I’ve tried a bunch of apps and always quit. Drum Coach is the only one that gives me a clear plan and actually makes it fun.” – Maya R.
3. “The custom practice plan is a total game-changer. I’m freaking out over how fast I’m improving!” – Alex T.
4. “For the first time, I actually feel like a real drummer.” – Jordan M.

EXPLORE MORE, LEARN MORE
Still wondering if Drum Coach is right for you? Here are some common questions:
1. Can I learn without a drum kit? Absolutely. Many of our exercises are designed for practice pads or even just your hands. You can start right away and add a kit later.
2. Does it cover notation and sheet music? Yes. You’ll find step‑by‑step guidance on reading drum sheets, scores, and music notation so you can connect practice to real songs.
3. What if I want variety? With more than 800 exercises updated regularly, you’ll never run out of fresh material. From paradiddles and stick control to grooves, fills, and full routines, there’s always something new to learn.
4. Is it useful for teachers? Drum Coach is perfect for reinforcing lessons. Teachers use it to assign smart routines, and students get an AI coach between classes.
5. Will I get better timing? Yes. The integrated metronome is designed to work inside your lessons so you actually feel the pulse instead of just hearing a click.

With Drum Coach, you’re not just learning—you’re joining a movement to keep drumming knowledge alive and accessible. And with recognition from the Play Store’s Teachers Approved program and the Grammy Academy, you know you’re in good hands.

really like this app, wish all the options were open when paying for it but I've become a better drummer from doing these exercises.

Excellent drum lessons, very nice app, friendly and intuitive. If you want to learn drum from scratch this can really help to get you going.

a great coach and and app that is fun to work with. helps find the motivation for everyday drum practice, and offers a good variety of exercises.

I have really benefitted from a structured approach that I don't have to think about, I just start the app and do the exercises, it's really helping.

Sadly it doesn't work for me, if i try to start a lesson the app shuts itself down. I tried reinstalling, there are no updates available and it still doesn't work.

So far, it has been very useful. I don't have much time and an unpredictable schedule, so drum lessons are almost impossible. With this app, I am able to make real progress and it keeps me motivated.

Used the demo and so far so good. You do have to pay but I didn't since I spent a lot of my money on Christmas gifts so I have to save up a bit untill I can pay. Great app either way :)

Really enjoying this app so far. It seems fairly new and needs a little polish (the visuals for drumming are a little late compared to audio) but the way it's presented is quite something. Makes practicing relaxing somehow.

Hey guys. I was looking for a drum teaching app and that was the first I tried. Just subscribed for a 1 year subscription (you know how this usually happens) but not all features are available to use even with paid sub. They are still in "coming soon" stage while it is not mentioned in description and more of that they can be seen in screenshots on Google play page. Hope that will be improved soon and more features will be added. UPD. It is much more improved now.

Drops off sometimes and loses progress on practice. Edit: this has been less of an issue after talking with the support team. Nothing specific seemed to fix it, but I haven't seen it drop in a few weeks.

I've been testing the app since April 23, they have made many improvements and the application is getting better and better everyday. I really feel I'm improving my skills thanks to the app. If you are a drummer and you are looking for an easy way improve your skills every day, this is your app, download, install and play. Lo dicho, la aplicación es realmente útil. No tienes que pensar solo darle al tipo de lección que quieres realizar y ponerte a tocar, los ejercicios cada vez son más variados.

bought a subscription to this app after being impressed by trying the practice thing then realise I wasted it my money. here's why: 1. Purple line can't keep up - at higher tempos or when there is a large amount of tab which has loaded in the purple line is sometimes slightly out of sync, and more often completely and on a totally different section. this needs to be addressed. 2. 5 difficulty is like lower intermediate. the highest difficulty setting is only intermediate so to me app is useless

Not a great start. As soon as you open the app you are immediately met with an unstoppable video with audio defaulted to on. Then, you have to make an account to be able to literally do anything with it. Even if you want to try it. When I tried to check the privacy policy, it takes me to a WordPress site link that just says there has been a critical error with this site. I'm good. Uninstalled. I'm sure you are hit with a paywall as soon as you get in, but I didn't even make it that far...

Great app, when it works properly. The timing of the sounds and visuals is spot on when using my phone (Android 15), but 2 full beats out on a new Samsung tablet (Android 14), where the shading starts halfway through the first bar every time. Not playing through any headphones or device, straight out the speaker. My phone is too small to use for practicing, so really frustrated! I'm strongly considering a refund request.

I was almost disqualified from band in school but this really helped me get better.

since the latest update, the app has become unusable. Audio and visuals are completely out of sync. Pressing 'pause' takes about 7 seconds to respond, and the measure/beat indicators lag behind the actual sound. I've restarted my android phone and reinstalled, but no fix. Please address this ASAP --timing is everything for drummers, and right now the app throws everything off.

I barely know any drums technique and like pretty much anything about drums and this is only day two of my drum practice and I'm already getting better. this app is literally amazing. it shows you videos on how to do it. I mean there you have to pay for it but still you get a 3-day free trial and I'm on day two so I literally love this. It is literally amazing. but I want to change my plan but don't know how to. And also I don't know how to pay after the 3-day free trial
