A metronome for drummers — clave, subdivisions, and accents
Most metronome apps stop at a plain click. RhythmRamp gives drummers and percussionists the depth they actually practice with: 10 clave patterns, subdivisions all the way to octuplets, per-beat accents, beat muting, and custom time signatures — no subscription.

Real depth, not a spec sheet
Quintuplets and septuplets. A clave that locks to your time signature. The ability to mute a range of beats and prove your internal time is solid. These are the tools that separate a practice metronome from a toy.
They're all here, in a $4.99 one-time purchase — and they pair with the tempo ramp, so you can take any of them up to speed.
The drummer's toolkit
Clave & groove
- 10 clave patterns: Son and rumba (2-3 and 3-2), samba, bossa nova, and 6/8 clave — the base for Latin and Afro-Cuban feels.
- Time-signature aware: Clave compatibility is gated by meter at the engine level, so patterns line up correctly.
- Count-off: A one-measure lead-in with a distinct final beat so you know the bar is about to start.
Subdivisions & accents
- Subdivisions to octuplets: Eighths, triplets, sixteenths, quintuplets, sextuplets, septuplets, octuplets.
- Per-beat accents: Tap any beat to accent it, with quick presets for 5–8 beat meters.
- Beat muting: Silence a range of beats to test your internal time — a classic drill.
Odd meters & speed
- Custom time signatures: Presets plus custom meters from 1 to 32 beats, note value 2/4/8/16.
- Tempo ramp: Take any pattern from slow to fast automatically.
- 28 themes: Coordinated visual and click-sound sets so the metronome sounds the way you like.
