Dynamic

Try it right here

Starts at 96 BPM and adds 5 BPM every 2 bars.

Dynamic mode

Get faster, bar by bar

The tempo rises while you play. Set a step and an interval, press play once, and the metronome climbs on its own – so both hands stay on the sticks instead of reaching for the phone every few bars.

  • Stay in the music

    No stopping to tap +5. Your attention stays on stick height, grip and sound.

  • Practice a whole tempo range

    Sweep through every BPM on the way up, not just the three tempos you already own.

  • Warm-up included

    Start below your working tempo and the first minutes warm you up automatically.

  • Logged automatically

    The tempo you reach is kept and flows straight into your BPM statistics.

Hi, I’m Verry.

Ever felt like structuring and tracking your practice could help, but you have no idea where to start? Ever created a practice plan on paper and manually tracked all your sessions with huge effort? Welcome to my life ;)!

As a drummer myself I went through all this struggle and decided to build an app that helps you structure and track your practice sessions. This way your progress becomes visible to you – which hopefully motivates you to keep going!

FAQ

Questions? Answers.

What is Drumbitious?

Drumbitious is a comprehensive drum practice diary app designed for drummers to organize, plan, and track their practice sessions, ensuring structured and efficient drumming lessons.

Is Drumbitious free?

Yes. Drumbitious is free to download on iOS and Android. The free version includes practice plans and exercises, the metronome and practice timer, the session diary and 30 days of statistics. Premium is an optional in-app subscription.

What does Drumbitious Premium include?

Premium is an optional monthly or yearly in-app subscription. It adds offline mode, changing the music speed, the advanced metronome with dynamic mode, unlimited statistics, PDF and video attachments, and the advanced exercise library.

How do I plan a drum practice routine?

In Drumbitious you create a practice plan and add exercises to it, either from the exercise library or as your own custom exercises. When you start a practice session, the app runs through all exercises of the plan one after another, with the practice timer and the built-in metronome. If you prefer paper, the weekly drum practice plan template on this site is a printable starting point.

How do I track drum practice progress?

Drumbitious keeps an automatic practice diary: every session you run is logged, including the BPM you practised at. The statistics show your BPM, practice duration and number of practice sessions over time, so your progress becomes visible without manual note-taking.

What is the dynamic metronome in Drumbitious?

The dynamic metronome — also called a tempo ramp — speeds itself up while you play. You set a starting BPM, a step size (1 to 50 BPM) and how many bars should pass between steps (1 to 99), press play once, and the tempo climbs on its own until you stop. It means you never break your groove to change the tempo, you practise a whole range of tempos instead of only your comfortable ones, and starting low gives you a warm-up built into the exercise. The tempo you reach is kept and logged with your session, so it flows straight into your statistics. Dynamic mode is a Premium feature; the metronome itself, including BPM, tap tempo and volume, is free.

Does Drumbitious work offline?

Yes, with Premium. Offline mode is part of Drumbitious Premium. Without Premium, the app needs an internet connection.
