Melodics has introduced a brand-new iOS app designed to revolutionize how drummers learn and practice drums. The app harnesses cutting-edge audio recognition technology to deliver a personalized and immersive practice experience.
The first of its kind app utilizes the iPhone’s built-in microphone and Melodics’ patent-pending Audio Intelligence. Unlike traditional drum apps that simulate playing a drum-kit with your fingers on a screen, the Melodics app listens and syncs with real-world drum setups.
From a full drum kit to just a pair of sticks and a tabletop, Melodics learns the unique sounds of the drummer’s playing environment, and provides real-time feedback.
“Drummers have long faced a gap in technology that supports real-world practice,” says Sam Gribben, founder and CEO of Melodics. “Our team has developed this app to help drummers of all levels improve faster, and to make practice something to look forward to – not a chore.”
“We’re excited to have developed this new technology that solves a real problem for drummers worldwide – an app that listens to you and gives personalized feedback on your play. Being on iPhone allows for easy set-ups at the drum kit and practice anytime, anywhere with a practice pad. It’s like having a drum tutor right in your pocket.”
How It Works
Drummer’s experience a seamless setup in minutes. They calibrate their acoustic drum kit or practice pad in the app – with no extra hardware required. For electronic kits, players connect via Bluetooth or a wired connection. Simply launch the app, and play.
Inside the app, drummers are met with over 500 interactive lessons, created by professional drum teachers, that cater to all skill levels. They can follow a guided learning path or choose from a vast library of popular songs across genres like rock, pop, jazz, and metal. Tools like tempo control, looping, and progress tracking help drummers tighten their timing, learn new grooves, and build greater control over their drumming.
