Attention drummers: Nail your rhythms with BeatLab
BeatLab makes it easy to practice and perfect a variety of rhythms and styles. You can simply select one of the “rudiments” (basic rhythms), or use the convenient sliders and keys to program your own rhythm for practicing. BeatLab will play the tempo and will flash its two-colored LED to help you feel the beat. The red light indicates the strong beat/left hand while the green light indicates the weak beat/right hand. BeatLab is designed with an extra-loud volume so that its easy to hear whats going on even if you`re wearing headphones.
Get compliments on your rudiments
BeatLabs Training mode is chock full of a multitude of patterns that will help you practice your snare drum rudiments. Thirty-nine patterns of the well-known standard rudiments such as roll, paradiddle, flam, and ruff are built-in, so its easy to practice your snare drum or marching band basics. BeatLab includes cues that help you know which hands turn it is. When its time for your right hand to play, youll hear the right-hand sound and see the green LED light. When its your left hands turn, youll hear the left-hand sound and see the red LED light. Plus, you can choose whether the pattern starts on the right or left hand.
