Drummer ITP - Rudiment Trainer

I don’t usually spend money on apps but the iDrumTune app caught my attention so I decided to get the package which included this ITP app. It’s definitely exceeded my expectations. It’s the most fun I’ve had using a metronome and it makes practice seem more organized and focused. The visual element and immediate feedback on my rudiment technique has made this my go-to drum app. The iDrumTune app is also worth checking out if you need help tuning, want to learn, or just interested in the physics involved with acoustic percussion. So far it’s 9/10

I have been drumming since I was a child and remember spending hours and hours practicing rudiments under the pressure of your classic ego tripping band teacher. Several decades later I am on the mend after a traumatic wrist injury that effectively limits all mobility in the left wrist — it’s locked. So I felt a huge loss of many things I wanted from life I could now no longer achieve or enjoy. One of them being drumming. Recently my physical therapist recommended I get a soft practice pad and re-learn from the basics, just to see if I could. Having rudiments drilled deep into the depths of my lizard brain I knew that was a good place to start. So I got a practice pad and I know the forms, but rudiment practice needs guidance and feedback. Then I found this app, and now I have a way to gauge my progress. I’m not only able to play some basic drums again, but now I can use drumming not as an excuse or pipe dream but as a therapeutic tool, allowing myself to heal doing something I love, and with this app, show proof of the progress. Not to mention getting the motor function back and seeing results on the app just feels darn good. So thanks devs! You’re giving me a part of my life back.

I love this app and it has been very helpful with precision practice and hand control! Very well done. Only thing is that all the flam rudiments aren’t there and those rudiments would add a lot but overall very helpful. Also if you had a section that combined all the different types of paradiddles and double paradiddles into one whole exercise and allowed there to be the sheet music on the screen somehow that would be awesome as well and would automatically be a 5+star review. For people that can’t read music the left and right hand icons are perfect though. I feel if you need practice reading it would be perfect. Thank you guys for making this!
