Real notation, 900+ etudes and a coach that rates every single hit as you play. With an e-kit or a microphone — in your browser, nothing to install.
Every screenshot below is the real app.
Plug in your e-kit via USB or switch on the microphone. The moment you hit, the note lights up: green on time, orange early or late, red when missed. An arrow shows which way you drifted.
The app stops on the next note and waits until you hit the right drum. No tempo pressure — your hands and feet learn the order first, speed comes later.
8 courses and 64 units across beginner, intermediate and advanced. "Today's practice" picks the etude and walks you up a tempo ladder; daily goals, streaks and badges keep you going.
Drumless songs in each course's style: soul, funk, neo soul, hip-hop, jazz-funk, drum & bass, gospel, shuffle. The song follows your tempo without changing pitch and stays locked to the etude.
Write your own groove by clicking a grid — the notation appears instantly, listen and save. 16ths or triplets, 1–4 bars, the whole kit from hi-hat to floor tom.
Runs in the browser, nothing to install. Your progress lives in your account and follows you to every device.
Groove Coach behaves like an instrument, not a game. Every sound and every millisecond was tuned for that.
94 samples recorded from an acoustic kit. Every drum has several velocity layers and alternating takes, so the same note never plays back identically twice in a row — no machine-gun effect. Ghost notes really whisper, accents ring out, and the open hi-hat stops the moment the pedal closes.
94 samples · velocity layers · round-robin · hi-hat chokeOn an acoustic kit, your phone or laptop mic is enough. Real-time signal processing inside the browser listens across three frequency bands, catches sudden energy jumps within milliseconds and filters out room echo and background noise. Every stroke is measured for both timing and loudness: is the ghost really soft, is the accent strong enough?
AudioWorklet · 3-band filters · adaptive noise floor · audio never leaves your deviceEvery stroke is scheduled ahead on the sound card's own clock, so the moving cursor and the lit note match the moment the sound reaches your ears. Bluetooth and speaker delay are compensated, and your e-kit's latency is calibrated with one button.
Audio-clock scheduling · latency compensation · calibrationSoul, funk, neo soul, hip hop, drum & bass, shuffle… 16 play-along tracks were composed with AI, then a neural network removed the drum track — you are the drummer. Change the tempo and the song speeds up or slows down without changing pitch, staying locked to the beat.
16 tracks · drumless mix · pitch-preserving tempo · drift correctionThe "one e and a" count is voiced in 9 languages with neural speech models. It runs on the same clock as the metronome, so sixteenths and triplets land exactly in place.

No. With an acoustic kit the microphone rates timing and dynamics, and you can use the notation, counting and play-along without any kit. The most detailed feedback (including which drum you hit) comes from a USB e-kit.
Any kit with USB MIDI: EFNOTE, Roland, Alesis, Yamaha, Simmons… Plug it in using Chrome or Edge and the app finds it. Map unusual pads with "Learn pads" in a few hits.
