Real Drum

Real Drum is a professional mobile drumming application designed to transform your smartphone or tablet into a fully-featured electronic drum kit. This app provides an authentic and responsive drumming experience, making it an essential tool for both aspiring musicians practicing their skills and seasoned drummers seeking a portable solution. Users choose Real Drum for its high-quality sound samples, realistic playability, and a vast library of drum kits and learning tools, all of which facilitate genuine musical creativity and practice on the go.

Building and Customizing Your Personal Kit

Users begin by selecting a base drum kit from an extensive collection within Real Drum. The interface presents a visual layout of drums and cymbals. To customize, a user taps the edit icon, which allows them to drag and drop individual pieces like snares, toms, or hi-hats to their preferred position on the screen. They can also swap out sounds, choosing from a library of sampled acoustic, electronic, and percussion instruments. This workflow ensures that the setup in Real Drum perfectly matches a user's ergonomic preferences and sonic needs before they even play a note.

Learning with Integrated Play-Along Lessons

Real Drum includes a structured learning path through its lesson modules. A user selects a lesson, which typically focuses on a specific rudiment or rhythm pattern. The app displays a visual chart of the beat to be learned, often accompanied by a musical score. The user then taps the corresponding drum pads in time with a scrolling guide or metronome. Real Drum provides immediate audio feedback for each hit, allowing players to correct their timing and accuracy in real-time, effectively building muscle memory and reading skills.

Playing Along with a Full Band

This feature allows users to experience playing drums as part of a complete band. A player navigates to the "Songs" section and selects a track from various genres like rock, pop, or jazz. The song plays, and the user sees their drum pad interface overlaid with moving markers that indicate when to hit each drum to play the correct part. The primary action is to follow these cues precisely, creating the drum track for the song. Successfully keeping time with the band in Real Drum develops critical listening and timing skills essential for any drummer.

Recording and Exporting Your Performances

For musicians looking to capture their ideas, Real Drum offers a multi-track recorder. A user presses the record button and begins playing. The app captures every hit and rhythm in perfect timing. After finishing, the user can stop recording and immediately play back their performance to review it. Furthermore, they can export the audio file of their drum track from Real Drum as a standard .WAV file. This workflow enables the creation of high-quality drum loops or tracks that can be imported into other music production software for full song creation.

Exploring a Global Library of User-Shared Beats

Real Drum connects users to a community of drummers worldwide. Through the app's online platform, a user can browse, listen to, and download rhythm patterns created and uploaded by other players. To use one, they simply download it to their local library within Real Drum. The pattern then appears in their player, where they can practice it, modify it, or use it as inspiration for their own creations. This feature constantly refreshes the content available in Real Drum, providing an endless stream of new material to learn and play.

Mastering Timing with the Advanced Metronome

A core tool for any musician, the metronome in Real Drum is highly configurable. A user activates it from the main interface and then taps the +/- buttons to set the desired Beats Per Minute (BPM). They can also define the time signature and accent patterns. As they practice a lesson or play freely, the steady click provides a constant temporal reference. Relying on this tool within Real Drum is fundamental for developing impeccable timing and groove, which are the hallmarks of a proficient drummer.
