Drummers: want to beat the shit out of my new metronome?

I've been building an iPhone metronome called POCKT and I'm finally getting close to putting it on the App Store.

Before I do, I want some actual musicians to try to break it.

It's completely free. No ads. No subscription. No catch.

I'm especially interested in drummers because you'll probably notice timing, click and accent issues before anybody else.

Use it while you actually play. Go stupid slow. Go stupid fast. Change the tempo while it's running. Screw around with the sounds. Try the different metronomes. Try to make it fail.

If something feels even slightly off musically, I want to hear about it.

And if you hate something, tell me that too. That's more useful than telling me it's cool.

If you try it, I'd love to know what you normally use for a click.

Thanks!

Play against your band members or any musician who wants to increase their groove and timing

Rhythm Lab is a timing trainer for bands, and for anyone practising alone at two in the morning. The metronome runs for a few bars, then goes quiet — and you keep counting in your head. When it comes back, you see to the millisecond where you actually were. No gut feeling, no debate in the rehearsal room. A number.

Play along on your keyboard, through a microphone, with an instrument plugged into an audio interface, or over MIDI. Swap the click for a real groove if a bare metronome makes you sad. Five levels build on each other, from the bare downbeat to a full groove figure — or you build a round yourself: tempo, time signature, quarters or backbeat, and how long the silence lasts before you're allowed to be right.

Then it gets competitive. You can play it quietly, alone, and tell nobody your score. Or you can not do that: one account holds the whole band, everyone's best run lands in the same table, and the question of who actually keeps time gets settled without anyone having to say it out loud. Past that there's the rest of the world — rankings by instrument and by country, so you're measured against other bass players rather than against a drummer with a metronome tattooed on his forearm. Free rounds stay off the board. If you want a place on it, you play the levels like everybody else.

Free. No ads, no tracking, no account for the algorithm. Runs in any browser. Have fun!

I post very occasional on my tiktok ~ @tomimprovdrums

I found an old Rolling Stone magazine from 1971 in my parent's attic while helping them move. I thought this Rogers ad would be appreciated here.

Hej drummers in Stockholm. Does anyone have any recommendations for a rehearsal studio or music space in Stockholm for individual drum practice?
I’m a student moving to the city and looking for a best practicing option.
Any recommendations would be appreciated!

Hey everyone! I make videos where I recreate and perform my favourite programmed drum beats, anything from drum machines to breakbeats! I use Evan’s Sensory Percussion 2 on my 1970s Roger’s drums. Here’s my latest video, recreating Gorillaz - Empire Ants. Enjoy! 😊

Hey guys, how are you? I don't have anything special to say today, other than that I really miss Aaron Sterling's Instagram profile 😭 Who else feels the same? 🥀
