DrumTempo
A World of Warcraft addon for tracking Leatherworking drums — cooldowns, Tinnitus debuff, and group announcements.
What It Does
DrumTempo displays a single movable icon for the drum you want to watch. When anyone in your group uses drums, the icon shows a cooldown swipe, greys out, and tracks the Tinnitus debuff (2-minute lockout). When Tinnitus expires, the icon returns to full color and a ready glow effect fires.
The addon works whether you or a group member uses the drums — lockout is based on your own Tinnitus aura.
An optional Announce Button lets you quickly tell your group that drums are coming and to stand close.
Supported Drums
| Drum | Effect Duration |
|---|---|
| Drums of Battle | 30 seconds |
| Drums of War | 30 seconds |
| Drums of Speed | 30 seconds |
| Drums of Restoration | 15 seconds |
| Drums of Panic | 2 seconds |
All drums share the same 2-minute Tinnitus lockout.
Layouts
Two layouts, switchable anytime in the options.
Default Drum
Full-featured layout with:
- Cooldown swipe
- Drummer name (above icon)

Minimal Drum
Clean layout — just the icon. Greys out during Tinnitus, pulses at 5 seconds remaining, and glows when ready again.
