BDS Apps
Using a dedicated practice timer application like the BDS Practice Timer transforms your drum lessons by introducing structure, accountability, and seamless tracking to your routine.
Designed with user-friendly controls, the app allows drummers to easily start, pause, and resume timing during practice sessions
It operates right in your browser without requiring complicated installations or server setups, it is instantly accessible across your computer, tablet, or phone while sitting at the kit.
Beyond just keeping time, the application automatically logs your sessions and features summary cards that break down your progress daily, weekly, and monthly. This clear visibility into your practice habits helps motivate consistent improvement, while built-in features like CSV data export let you back up your data or share your progress history.
By removing the friction of manual log-keeping, this app ensures you can stay fully focused on your musical goals.
The BDS Metronome App is a comprehensive, feature-rich web app designed to help musicians master timing, speed, and rhythmic independence. Beyond standard tempo keeping via its intuitive rotary dial, direct BPM entry, and tap tempo features, the application includes advanced features like interactive beat-muting dots and a multi-channel fader mixer. This mixer allows players to dynamically blend main pulses with duple (8th notes), triple (triplets), and quad (16th notes) subdivisions, making it ideal for practicing complex meters or tight groove sync.
A key highlight of the app is its suite of specialized training modules designed to push performance boundaries. The built-in Accelonome serves as an automated speed trainer, smoothly ramping the tempo from a starting BPM to a target goal over a customizable bar duration, complete with "Auto Reverse" and "Loop" options for speed endurance work.
Complementing this, the Gap Click module introduces silence across beats or full bars to test and strengthen an artist’s internal clock.
Paired with a digital practice timer, multiple sound sets, visual flash feedback, and a full-screen performance mode, the app provides an all-in-one platform for structured and effective practice sessions.
