Drumlib is a freeware program that I wrote to make is easier to create drumexercises that you can both see and listen too.
The program is written in Macromedia Director 8.0 and I used Adobe Photoshop for graphics.
Here you can download the latest version plus addons and drum exercises.

• Create exercises using patterns.
• Play them by just clicking on them.
• Add text explaining the exercises.
• Save it.
• Print it.

• Gradually build your own electronic instructional book to
  share with other drummers on the internet.

• Use Drumlib as a drummachine thats really easy to program.

• Use it as a sketchbook.

• Every musician can use it to practise time with.

The idea of the program is that you have windows containing patterns. For example:

Copy a pattern by clicking on it and paste it on the "workspace".
By placing different patterns next to each other you can make different combinations:

You could then add text to explain how to practise the combinations.
Make a good layout of text and patterns, save it to disc, send it to a friend with e-mail or print it.
