Lazy Lopez: Drums

Sit down and find your beat. Explore grooves, work on rudiments, and play at your own pace.

Lazy Lopez: Drums is a practice room that stays out of your way. No streaks to keep, no scores to chase, no account to make. A little room to play.

GROOVES
151 grooves across seventeen styles, written in standard drum notation. Mute or solo any voice, slide the tempo, loop a bar, and record a take when it feels right. Turn your phone sideways and the notation fills the screen for reading at the kit.

BUILD YOUR OWN
A grid editor for the groove in your head, in any time signature, saved alongside the rest.

PULSE
A metronome with its own tab: 30 to 300 BPM, subdivisions, an accented downbeat, gap click, tempo ramp, tap tempo, and a silent visual pulse for late-night pad work. Odd meters count the way you count them, so 17/8 can go 3+3+3+3+3+2.

RUDIMENTS, FILLS AND COORDINATION
All 40 rudiments, with notation, sticking and playback at your pace. 30 fills and 16 limb-independence drills, easiest first.

JAM
Bass and keys vamp in the key you pick, in five styles, and you hold the groove. Record the take.

CAPTURE IDEAS
Record the beat you just tapped out. Trim it on a waveform, slow it down, and bring anything back from Recently Deleted for 30 days.

THREE KITS
Two acoustic kits and a synth percussion set, sampled rather than sequenced.

PRACTICE, YOUR WAY
Eleven backing loops and three ready-made practice routines, or build your own and run it with a calm timer. A practice log you can export as a spreadsheet.

IPHONE, IPAD, MAC AND WATCH
One app for iPhone and iPad, plus a native Mac app. On iPhone there's also an Apple Watch app with a haptic metronome and tap tempo, a home-screen widget for Pulse, Grooves and Jam, and Live Activities that keep your tempo and timer on the Lock Screen.

YOURS, ON YOUR DEVICE
Your grooves, takes and ideas live on your device. No account, no cloud sync, nothing to sign up for. Back up your practice log, routines, favorite grooves, and saved setups to a file you keep and read it back on a new phone; the log exports as a spreadsheet too. Optional analytics are off unless you turn them on, and they never include your grooves, audio or notes. Every feature is free, and the optional tip jar unlocks nothing.

NEW NAME, SAME APP
Lazy Lopez: Drums was Drum Buddha. It is the same app from the same maker, By Lazy Lopez Productions, now part of Lazy Lopez Music. Pick up an instrument. Make some music.
