For drummers coming back

Back on the drums, with honest feedback.

Your hands remember more than you think. Tell Badum you've played before, and it starts you near where you stopped, not at counting to four.

  • Find your level

    Say you've played before and play a few short checks. Badum opens the path where you stumble, so you skip what you already know.

  • Honest feedback

    After each take: which bars, which drum, early or late, and one thing to work on next. No stars, no confetti.

  • The parts you never learned

    Fills, sixteenths, ghost notes, shuffle and swing, then funk, jazz and odd time, one new thing at a time.

Where the path goes

  • Levels 1 to 3Steady rock and fills, sixteenths and accents, triplets, flams and the open hi-hat.
  • Levels 4 to 6Shuffle and swing, ghost notes and feel, funk, jazz, band hits and trading fours.
  • Levels 7 to 9A core, then style courses: funk and neo-soul, rock and double bass, jazz, Afro-Cuban, Brazil, metal, gospel. It ends with a recital.

Play on an electronic kit by cable or Bluetooth, an acoustic kit through the microphone, or a practice pad. What you need

Questions

Will it make me start from the beginning?

No. Pick “Played before?” when you start, play the short checks, and Badum starts you where you stopped. You can always go back to anything you skipped.

Is it a subscription?

Your choice: $29.99 a year after a 14-day free trial, or $59.99 once with no subscription. Level 0 is free. Price
