Layered rhythm
Build up to four independent rhythmic lines, each with its own time signature, sound, swing, and volume — all locked to a single tempo. Different meters don't drift apart; they interlock. It's the difference between counting a polyrhythm and actually hearing how it sits.
Four ways to see the beat
Every rhythm renders four ways, and you switch between them instantly:
Circular — a beat wheel with a playhead sweeping the ring. The signature view.
Waterfall — notes rise toward a NOW line, so you read what's coming.
Timeline — every voice as gems on one lattice; tap to edit, even while playing.
Notation — real percussion notation with sticking letters, accents, flams, and drags.
Check your subdivision, read ahead, or zoom out to the whole bar — the right view is always a tap away.
Practice tools
Timed sessions, count-in, gap click, and automatic tempo progression. Tempo Lock, lead-hand flipping, and Alternate Lead each bar. Save your own patterns — your last session is always waiting.
Stickings you can trust
The built-in library covers the PAS International Drum Rudiments plus hybrids, rolls, grooves, and ostinato exercises — every sticking verified against published sources. Flams and drags play as true grace notes, on the correct hand.
Riddiments is free for iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
