Real electronic drums
Guided kit configuration, clear visual feedback for the requested piece, and an always-available keyboard fallback.
Structured curriculum
Progressive lessons with objectives, practice speeds, and transparent grading—not artificial difficulty.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Do I need an electronic drum kit?
No. Keyboard input is always available, although a MIDI kit brings the experience closer to the real instrument.

Are commercial songs included?
No. The repository contains only original rights-clean music and an example for player-owned local content.
Is this already a stable release?
No. macOS and Windows binaries remain subject to signing, testing, and exact-candidate review before publication.
