Play your first rudiment.
Left click is your left hand, right click your right hand. Follow the pattern, play it clean three times in a row and the teacher lets you move on. On a phone, tap the left or right half of the pad.

The game
Tap. Earn. Unlock. Repeat.
An idle/incremental game built on real percussion technique. No music experience needed: the patterns teach themselves as you play.
The exam teacher has five faces
To reach the next phase you have to pass his exam. Miss a note and he gets annoyed, then angry, then furious. Play clean and he calms down, one face at a time.
Catch the golden notes
Golden notes fall across the pad: hover to catch them. Eight in a row climb a real major scale to the octave and triple the reward.
Jam mode
Fill the ♪ JAM sign and you get free play: the game recognises and names every rudiment you play and scores the variety.
Ghost notes
From phase 3 some notes fall see-through and faster, worth triple. The metronome turret can't see them. Only you can.
Pass. Unlock. Repeat.
Five phases and 40 rudiments, from the Single Stroke Roll to the Triple Ratamacue, each one a real percussion pattern.
