Drum tools
Free tools for drummers, right in your browser. No apps to install, no sign-up walls — just useful things we wished existed, so we built them.
Nine of them, all free, all running in the browser. Point your mic at a drum and read its pitch, climb a tempo without touching the dial, work through all forty rudiments with the sticking played back to you, generate a sticking nobody wrote down, get three against two under your hands, log what you practised, build a beat, or set up a page that shows what you play.
Nothing here needs an app, a card or an email address. An account is free and adds the extras — saved kits, the auto-climbing trainer, your practice history — but every tool does its main job signed out.
Not sure where to start? Most drummers want the drum tuner. It is the one that fixes a problem you can hear.
Drum tuner
Tune your drums with your mic — hit pitch, lug matching, target ranges, and save your kits' pitches to tune back to any time.
Drum Filters
Instagram filters for drum audio. Load a phone video of your kit, tap Rock, Metal, Jazz or Pop and hear it re-mixed instantly. Free account to export the clip, watermark and all.
Tempo trainer
A drummer’s metronome, free in your browser. Members unlock the auto-climbing trainer, gap click, odd time signatures and meter loops.
Rudiment trainer
All 40 essentials with sticking and audible playback — hear the hands. Members unlock random practice mode.
Pattern generator
Random stickings nobody wrote down: set the bars, the subdivision and the most each hand and foot plays in a row, then generate, hear it and share it with a link. Members save their patterns.
Polyrhythm trainer
Three against two, four against three, five and seven against four with two voices and a ring you can watch, plus hat-versus-kick independence drills that step through every permutation.
Practice log
Track every session like Benny Greb — what, how fast, and how it felt. Streaks and weekly totals, free with an account.
The Groove Lab
Make a beat — eight drums, 32 steps, swing and accents — and share it with a link. Members save grooves and publish to the gallery.
Your drummer profile
A free link-in-bio page built for drummers — your kit, videos, links and bookings on one URL for every social bio.
Which one do you need?
- Your kit sounds wrong and you cannot say why
- Nine times out of ten it is tuning, not gear. Start with the drum tuner and lug match every drum before you change anything else.
- You want to play something faster
- The tempo trainer climbs the BPM for you so you are not stopping to move a dial. Gap click is the setting that actually exposes whether your time is solid.
- Your hands need work
- The rudiment trainer plays all 40 with the right hand and left hand pitched differently, so you can hear the sticking rather than decode it off a page.
- Your limbs will not do different things at once
- The polyrhythm trainer plays two voices against each other on a ring you can watch, and its independence drills move the kick through every sixteenth-note placement under a steady hi-hat.
- You practise but never seem to improve
- Usually a record-keeping problem. The practice log shows you what you actually did versus what you think you did.
- You just want to hit something
- The Groove Lab is a playable kit and a step sequencer. Make a beat, share it with a link.
Guides that go with them
A tool is only half of it. Pair the tuner with our drum head buying guide — heads and tuning are one job, not two. The tempo trainer and the rudiment trainer both come straight out of our guide to drumming faster, and the practice log runs the system that Benny Greb has used for years. Need a tempo rather than a tool? The song tempo database has the BPM of the songs drummers get asked to play, each one a tap from the metronome. More where those came from in our drum lessons and drummer advice.
