Each of the apps comes with a different set of inbuilt factory tracks.
Song Rhythm Tracks has 5 tracks. This helps new users immediately get the idea of the app. They can easily be deleted by swiping each left one at a time and there are only about 5 of them.
Sampler apps have more inbuilt factory track
A study published in Frontiers in Psychology found that musical training can enhance young children's reading skills and executive functioning. The study participants were 6-year-olds who had never received any formal music lessons. After eight months of regular music classes, the children showed significant improvements in their reading ability and executive function compared to a control group of children who did not receive musical training.

If we don't already include a particular rhythm, we would like to work with a drummer to include it. This involves making high-quality audio recordings of the drumming at multiple tempos including multiple shots and fills used in turnarounds. The audio recording will be analyzed to identify where the various aspects occur and the preference level of each occurrence. This is the basis for Alive Drumming to incorporate additional rhythms into their Song Rhythm Tracks. If you are a drummer and have a rhythm you'd like to be represented please email <a href="mailto:feedback@alive-drumm
