Listing changes AppTracker has observed for this app in this storefront — new versions, price moves, rating shifts, and store copy.
Small things that should have stayed put — now they do. • Your practice settings are remembered between visits: count-in, click, gap click, the tempo ramp, and the accented downbeat. • Better on the Mac — Drum Buddha installs under its own name, and the User Guide opens in your browser with tabs, search, and bookmarks. • A quiet note in Settings about the rest of the family: Guitar, Bass, and Ukulele Buddha. • The tip jar recovers: after a tip goes through — or doesn't — the jar opens normally again instead of staying stuck on the last attempt. • Smaller fixes throughout. As always: free, every feature unlocked, no account, no ads.

About
A calm place to sit down at your drums and play. Drum Buddha is a practice room, not a teacher, a game, or a gym. No streaks to keep. No scores to chase. No account to make. Just the grooves and the time you spend with them. LEARN GROOVES A library of original patterns in real drum notation — rock, funk, jazz, latin, shuffle, hip-hop, and more. Mute or solo any voice (kick only, add snare, add hats), slide the tempo, loop it, and record a take when it feels right. Build your own grooves in the grid editor. KEEP TIME WITH PULSE A metronome worth its own tab: subdivisions, odd meters, an accented downbeat, gap click, tempo ramp, tap tempo, and a silent visual pulse for late-night pad work. Apple Watch has a metronome of its own, with the click as a haptic tap on your wrist. PRACTICE THE FUNDAMENTALS The 40 rudiments with notation, sticking, and playback at your pace. A shelf of fills, coordination drills for limb independence, loops, and quiet practice routines. JAM WITH A BAND THAT WAITS FOR YOU Pick a style, key, and tempo — bass and keys vamp while you hold the groove. Record the take, in portrait or landscape. CAPTURE EVERY IDEA Tap a beat on your knees and record it before it slips away. Trim on a waveform, slow it down, and recover deleted recordings for 30 days. MADE FOR IPHONE & IPAD A calm, uncluttered layout that opens up on the bigger screen. YOURS, ON YOUR DEVICE Your grooves, takes, and ideas live on your phone — no account, no cloud sync. Optional anonymous analytics are off by default; turn them on only if you want to help improve the app. Free, with an optional tip jar — every feature unlocked from day one.
