- Melodics listens to your drumming in real time and gives you instant feedback on timing, accuracy, and consistency. For electronic drum kits, just plug in via MIDI - depending on your specific instrument’s connectivity, you may require an adaptor to plug in to your iPhone. For acoustic drum kits, we use audio detection to listen to your drumming. No extra hardware needed - just your kit and our app.
- YouTube shows you what to play, but Melodics listens as you play - giving instant feedback on timing, accuracy, and missed hits. Plus, you can slow down sections, loop them, and track your progress over time.
- Yeah! Melodics has drum courses specifically for absolute beginners. You'll start with basic rudiments (single strokes, double strokes), learn how to count time, and gradually build up coordination. The app meets you exactly where you're at - no matter where that is. With Melodics audio detection, the microphone in your device will automatically work for drums, a practice pad or even just a tabletop! So you can work on nailing that rhythm and learning grooves without needing a kit!
- Hundreds, with new lessons added every week. You'll find everything from pop and rock to metal, jazz, and hip-hop. Each song breaks down into difficulty levels, so you can learn the basic groove first, then tackle the full song with all the fills and flourishes. Our song catalogue is always growing.
- Both! You can follow the structured learning paths (beginner → intermediate → advanced) or go rogue and jump straight to the songs you want to learn. Practice mode lets you loop sections, slow down the tempo, and practice as many times as you need before moving on.
- Practice mode is your secret weapon. Drop the BPM, loop specific sections, and drill the tricky bits until they stick. Once you've got a section down, speed it back up. No more rewinding YouTube videos 47 times or trying to figure out where you went wrong.
- Melodics works with pretty much whatever drum kit you've got. Melodics connects to electronic kits via USB and uses audio detection for acoustic drums and practice pads. If you're playing e-drums, it's plug and play - just connect via USB and you're ready to go. Melodics supports major electronic drum brands through automatic recognition and offers custom MIDI mapping for non-standard drum kit configurations. Acoustic drums and practice pads work with Melodics through the device's built-in microphone. Melodics uses audio detection technology to recognize drum strikes through microphone input without requiring additional hardware. Just sit down, calibrate the microphone in the app and start playing.
