Rhythm & time-feel trainer

Feel the space between the beats.

Metrum puts your rhythm on a circle. Place notes on the ring, slide the feel, and hear straight time turn into swing, Dilla, samba or flamenco. Then practise it until it sits.

Live demo — this is the real app

Tap the ring to place notes, tap the centre to play, then open FEEL and slide it.

That's part of the full version.

Everything a groove needs.

Built by a drummer for daily practice: on the pad, on the kit or on any instrument.

The circle

One ring shows the whole bar. See where every note falls, and drag notes to a new place on the grid.

Any meter, any subdivision

1 to 8 beats, each split into 1 to 8: eighths, triplets, sixteenths, quintuplets, sextuplets and more.

Time feels

Swing at any amount, plus Dilla, Samba 16, Afro 12/8 and Flamenco. Each one moves the notes to where that style puts them.

Pattern permutations

Slide a pattern around the ring through every starting point, without rewriting a note.

Stickings

Lay RL, RRLL or a paradiddle on the grid, then slide it through every rotation while the pattern stays put.

Groupings

Mark phrases like 3+3+2 or 2+2+3 right on the ring, so odd groupings become something you can see.

Sheet view

Turn on notation and read what you're playing, with every beat written out.

Sequence mode

Chain patterns, set how many times each repeats, and loop a whole exercise from start to finish.

Questions

Does it work on my phone?

Yes. Metrum runs in any modern browser on iPhone, Android, tablets and computers. On a phone, use “Add to Home Screen” in the browser menu to open it like an app.

Is it a subscription?

No. You pay $10 once and Metrum is yours. Nothing renews.

What do I get in the free trial?

Everything, for 7 days. You only need an email address or a Google account, no card. When the week is over the app drops back to demo level, and everything you made stays on your device.

Do I need an account?

Yes, so your purchase works on all your devices. There's no password: you sign in with a link sent to your email, or with Google. If you buy without signing in, the purchase goes to the email you enter at checkout. A new account is signed in right after paying. If that email already has an account, just sign in with it.

Where are my patterns stored?

On your device, in your browser. We don't receive them.

What if I don't like it?

Write to us within 14 days of buying and we'll refund you in full.

Will there be an App Store or Google Play version?

Not yet. Native apps are planned; for now Metrum runs in the browser, and on a phone you can add it to your home screen.
