Cross-Rhythm Trainer

Hear and see two rhythms at once. A light sweeps across both lines so you can feel how patterns like 3 against 2 lock together on the downbeat.

Each line divides one beat evenly and they meet on the downbeat. Start slow, tap the top line with one hand and the bottom with the other, and let the light guide you. Mute a line to hear the other on its own.
