Description

Rudiments are basic exercises for drummers meant to increase yourspeed, ability and creativity when playing the drums. But it's justnot enough to play along a single tempo track to master them.Drumate lets you take advantage of the processing power in yourphone to generate a vast amount of training patterns from a singlerudiment. This makes it a lightweight and efficient app, since itneeds very little storage space, and it allows you to experimentwith three practice modes: • Constant: practice the rudiment at aconstant speed, with or without rests. This mode is useful whengetting used to the rudiment structure and feel. • Steps: play forsets of steps, each at its own tempo. You can go from a slow to afast tempo, or the other way round. The length of the steps isadjustable and rests can be included as well. Use this mode to pushyou further when gaining speed. • Up and Down: start at an initialtempo that will be increased on each bar, until it gets to amaximum value and then decreases to the initial value. This modeallows you to practice from "open to close to open" and is great tocover a wide range of speed to increase your resistance and speed.The rudiments can be filtered by type, and you can mark rudimentsas Favorites so you can filter them and focus on sets of rudiments.It is a great tool for musicians, specially drummers andpercussionists. Drumate is the true mate to improve your drumming!I myself am a drummer and I developed this app because I thought itwas possible to harness the power of phones to do more than justplay tracks. I have achieved this by creating an algorithm thatuses a single bar of a rudiment to generate diverse and adjustablepractice tracks that I believe will enrich the training sessions ofdrummers and interested musicians, while substantially saving phonestorage space. The app currently uses Android's internalsynthesizer for playback, but with your appreciated help andcontribution when installing Drumate Free or purchasing the Premiumversion, I will be able to buy a software license for better snareand metronome sounds. Your help will also allow me to continueworking as an independent developer to make it better, listen toyour opinions and update it.
