From the recording to the page.
You do the listening and the writing. DrumChart does the counting and the layout.
Open an MP3, WAV or M4A. The tempo and bar lines are there, ready to check. Mark the intro, verses, choruses and stops as it plays. Bar counts come from the recording, so they're right.
The mixer splits the recording into Drums and Band. Solo the drums to hear exactly what's played. Mute them to play along with the band. Slow it down and loop the hard bit.
It all happens on your computer. Nothing is uploaded.
Click the hits into the grid. They show as proper notation as you write, and you can play them back against the record to check.
Score lays the whole chart out on one page. Export a PDF and open it on your iPad in forScore, Files or whatever you use.
Write it out properly, start from nothing, and take it to the stand.
Switch Score to Drum part and the chart is written out the way a drum part should be.
Your chart stays as you wrote it. Only the page changes.
Choose Blank chart and write it bar by bar. Set the tempo and time signature, add sections, and write each groove in the grid.
Teachers can make practice sheets the same way: grooves, fills and reading exercises, exported as a PDF to send to students.
Your charts sync. Sign in on another computer or an iPad and they are there.
It runs on an iPad, but building is easier with a bigger screen and a keyboard.
Nothing is uploaded, including for beat detection. Charts sync, recordings don't.
Finding the beat needs Chrome or Edge, or Safari 26 or newer.
