Great Rhythm Isn’t a Gift... It’s a Skill You Can Build

“Locking In” shows you the truth,

trains you with certainty,

and gives you confidence under pressure.

Every percussionist knows the feeling...

you’re playing the notes,

but you’re not sure if you’re really with the pulse.

The conductor cuts off and you wonder: Was I early? Late?

...Or just lucky?

Instead of confidence, you’re stuck second‑guessing.

“Locking In” changes that.

This guide walks you through setting up a simple $6 app and leveraging its hidden beat‑tracking feature...

giving you clear, repeatable feedback you can use right away.

No fancy gear, no confusing software.

Just a straightforward system that reveals the truth about your timing and helps you fix it on the spot.

With each session, you’ll feel the shift...

notes that lock in,

rhythms that stay steady,

and the quiet relief of finally trusting yourself.

Perfect instincts aren’t what make great percussionists.
A reliable system does.
And once you have it, confidence follows naturally.
 

Be the player your section can count on... steady, confident, and unshakable.

Rusher or dragger?

With ‘Locking In,’ the answer is simple: neither.

You’re Not Lacking Rhythm... You’re Lacking the Right Tools

Built on a $6 app you can download today,
“Locking In” turns timing into
something measurable, trainable, and reliable.
For the analytical player, it delivers proof.
For the expressive player, it delivers peace of mind.
This enables both players to have the best of both worlds...
and achieve their goals!

Objective feedback, not opinions

Waveform analysis shows exactly where every note lands... ending the doubt of “was I rushing or dragging?”

Training that compounds into mastery

Step‑by‑step routines build subdivision control and precision over time... no more hoping you improve, just reliable skill growth.

Diagnostics that expose the hidden habits

Structured tests like the Clapping Test reveal micro‑timing tendencies with clarity you can’t get from a teacher’s glance or a metronome click.

Progress you can measure and feel

Every session gives you visual proof on screen and audible improvement in your sound... the science matches what your ears want to hear.

Corrections that solve problems at the root

Targeted troubleshooting gives you specific fixes for shaky rolls, dragging transitions, and off‑balance downbeats... so flaws don’t keep resurfacing.

Confidence that protects your artistry

When you know your timing is reliable, expression no longer feels like sloppiness... it feels like freedom.

Who Is This For?

  • High school or college percussionists preparing for auditions, juries, or ensemble placements — players who want rock‑solid timing they can prove under pressure.

  • Marching percussion and DCI hopefuls chasing absolute clarity on whether they’re rushing, dragging, or truly in time.

  • Adult community band and orchestra drummers who are tired of second‑guessing their entrances and just want to feel confident when the baton drops.

  • Band directors and teachers looking for a proven, structured system they can hand to students to eliminate timing confusion once and for all.

  • Any percussionist who’s done with guessing — and ready to finally trust their own sense of time.

Whether you’re walking into rehearsal, onto the field, or into an audition room, “Locking In” gives you the clarity and confidence to know your timing will hold up.
