Comments on Rude - Drum Rudiment Training for Android

★★★★★ A Google User · Apr 24, 2014
RUDE--DRUM RUDIMENT TRAINING This app is essential for, and will benefit, beginner through advanced drummers. Easy UI. Swipe left and right to scroll through rudiments, and swipe up and down to control bpm. OR hit your phone's MENU button to open a self-explanatory list of features, including my favorite: "EXAMPLES". Click on the EXAMPLES button, and you're taken to a website with detailed instructional videos pertaining to the rudiment you are currently studying. Metronome is 100% accurate (let it go through one cycle to adjust itself)
★★★★★ FreeWiseMenaces · Jun 29, 2025
Really useful tool for previewing what the rudiments sound like instead of simply trying to infer it from their notation. Looks best in portrait mode. Dark mode would be appreciated.
★★★★☆ Shaiah Williams · Feb 16, 2016
Arrow Scroll This is a great app! I would just recommend putting arrow scrolls in to tap in order to get to the next rudiment. Sliding my finger skips through too many.
★★☆☆☆ paul crawley · Jan 10, 2016
Seems to only give a click While I appreciate you can change the bpm, I found it actually lacks the sound of the specific rudiment you're wanting to practice. I'm aware that I can click a link to YouTube, but I find this defeats the purpose. Personally I'd rather hear & read each specific rudiment while also being able to increase the bpm. But if there's another feature im missing can you please inform me. Cheers
★☆☆☆☆ Mark Boutilier · Feb 21, 2017
Doesn't give an audio sample of the rudiments, just a metronome click and visual notations. Useless if you don't know what the rudiments sound like to begin with.
★☆☆☆☆ A Google User · May 15, 2015
WORST APP EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wish I could give-0stars I HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE THIS STUPID APP! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
★☆☆☆☆ A Google User · Aug 29, 2013
Terrible app anyone using this should be ashamed to call themselves drummers. The metronome speeds up and slows down whenever it chooses, several of the rudiments just repeat older ones with extra bars, that's not a new rudiment that's just it played at a faster tempo in cut time, and there are more rudiments on my high school drumline than this app offers. This should not be receiving any stars. It only gets one because I have to give it something or I would not be allowed to submit this.

Description by Skrivarna Software Written by the developer, not by AppBrain. Click to read.
The free version of the Rude Practice Pad. This app will:
* Show notation of all 40 official rudiments, with name and order according to PAS.
* Visually indicate where you are in the pattern, synchronized with the built-in metronome.
* Keep the tempo using the most accurate metronome engine available on Android.
* Allow tempo adjustments between 20 and 240 BPM.
* Navigate quickly and intuitively between rudiments and tempos, with support for most input methods (including media buttons, remote controls and screen swipes).
* Link to textual descriptions and instructional videos showing all the patterns individually, on pad and examples applied to drum set. Professional performances with a single click. (The videos and examples are published at rude.skrivarna.com.)

What it doesn't do:
* It does not attempt to play the rudiments with the built-in midi sounds. No offense, but in this case your phone sucks.
If you want the play-along feature, please check out the Rude Practice Pad app. Rather than trying to program a midi sequence to faithfully reproduce a buzz roll or flam, the new sound engine uses real sampled drum sounds. The Rude Practice Pad also contain 100 hybrid rudiments, exercises, social sharing etc.

I really appreciate comments on how this small app behaves, looks and performs on different Android versions and hardware models. If you mail me at software (at) skrivarna.com I can get back with updated versions or questions and answers if needed.

Of course, any suggestions on additional features, improvements and corrections of the actual contents are very welcome. Use the software (at) skrivarna.com mail for this as well. This is also true for the examples at rude.skrivarna.com, please send me a mail with any comments.

And yes, I am aware that some of the rudiments, official or not, have different possible interpretations in how they are played and notated. In most cases I have used the most common form (as far as I understand), but there is also a trade-off in making the notation viewable on a small screen and making the underlying code somewhat maintainable. If you have a strong opinion on this and think I have made the wrong choice, don't hesitate to contact me. I will do my best to be as correct as possible.
