BeatSpeed is a speed measurement software for drummers and percussionists.

If you focus on technical progress this program is the ideal training tool for you.
With BeatSpeed you can easily observe your playing abilities in terms of speed, control and endurance.

Of course musical creativity doesn't rely on speed in the first place but you can have lots of fun pushing your technical limits. It literally can be addictive. And over time you will experience better control over your instrument which in turn leads to more ideas and musical freedom.
