🥁 Learn beat-making and finger drumming on a MIDI pad — the Duolingo way. Start with Unit 1: Pad Basics (the 8×8 grid, velocity, the drum-kit sounds), then build real grooves one genre at a time: hip-hop, boom bap, trap, lo-fi, house, techno, drum & bass, dubstep, afrobeats, amapiano, reggaeton, funk, jazz swing and more — finishing with classic breakbeats like the Amen Break. Each unit is 6 short lessons. 40 units · 240 lessons.
A 64-pad MIDI drum pad (8×8 grid) — tap or click any pad to hear it. The bottom 4 rows are the drum kit and map to your keyboard: Z–,, A–K, Q–I, 1–8. The top 4 rows are pitched synth pads (mouse / touch only).
