Practice Hub

The screen where every structured practice tool in Drum Buddha lives — this page is a map, not a manual, so you know where to look before the tool pages that follow it.

~2 min read

Practice Hub is the screen behind every structured practice tool in the app — hands, limbs, vocabulary, timing, even a place to jam over a track. It doesn't teach you anything itself; think of it as the front door, not a lesson. Open it and the screen gets straight to the point: What are we working on? The subhead answers its own question — Pick a tool and start playing — and that's the whole idea of this screen in one line.

What's on the screen

Two featured cards sit above the grid:

Below the cards, a grid of five tiles, each labeled with a category and a subtitle:

Between the two featured cards and the five tiles, that's every structured practice tool in the app.

Where each one goes

Each card and tile has its own page later in this guide:

Worth knowing

The Loops tile and the Loop Trainer card aren't the same tool, even though the names sit right next to each other. Loops gives you a backing track to play along with. Loop Trainer gives you a way to slow down and drill a specific passage. The full breakdown of both lives on the Loops page.
