Description of App

theDrumDictionary is a great tool for drummers, band leaders, producers, or anyone looking to learn more about drums. It includes all 40 standard snare
drum rudiments and over 100 full drum set beats in a variety of styles. For each example, there is notation and tempo-adjustable audio. theDrumDictionary
also includes a built-in metronome, making it a great all-in-one practice tool.

For Practice:
- theDrumDictionary includes a built-in metronome, and the example audio can be sped up and slowed down to help learn those tricky beats
- Track the amount of time spent practicing any entry as well as how long it's been since it was practiced

Lists:
- Create a list of your favorite beats in different styles
- Create lists for what you'd like to practice
- Drum instructors, create a separate list for each of your students

theDrumDictionary is also great for non-drummers who are interested in knowing a little about drums: band leaders who want to communicate better with their
drummer, musicians who want to program realistic drum parts in their songs, and the list goes on...

Entries include
- All 40 standard snare drum rudiments
- Over 100 drum set beats in a variety of styles: Rock, Jazz, World, Funk and more
