Beat Builder

Build beats the way music actually works

A guided wizard walks you through kick-snare foundation, embellishments, cymbals, sticking, and hi-hat foot — with real musical reasoning at every layer. Or open the full pattern editor and place every hit yourself — then loop it, slow it down, and build it up to tempo.

  • 36+ genre presets — rock, funk, jazz, Latin, metal, hip-hop, gospel, worship, R&B
  • 20 drum voices — kick, snare, side stick, rim clicks, open/closed/pedal hats, three toms, ride bow & bell, crash, china, splash, cowbell
  • 11 voice routing strategies for hand distribution
  • Cymbal accent presets with per-beat velocity control
  • Full pattern editor for cell-by-cell control

Live Playback

Grid view, notation view, sticking patterns

The beat you just built goes straight to the stand — phone or iPad, sticks in your hands. Every pattern and drill runs with a live playback view that tracks your position in real time. Grid view shows every voice color-coded. Notation view shows standard drum notation with sticking. Toggle counting syllables — 1 e & a — above the staff, ghost notes read as lowercase sticking, and any shuffle or pocket feel is captioned right on the notation. And the metronome itself plays that pocket — drag or rush the backbeat and shuffle the click, free on the main screen.

Pattern Editor

Full cell-by-cell control over every hit

Place hits on a grid, adjust velocity and sticking per cell, add ghost notes and flams. Every pattern opens in the editor for fine-tuning — whether it came from the wizard, AI, or the community.

  • 20 drum voices — kick, snare, side stick, rim clicks, open/closed/pedal hats, three toms, ride bow & bell, crash, china, splash, cowbell
  • Tap cells to place hits — velocity sets automatically by position
  • Drag to adjust velocity, long-press for flams and cross-stick
  • Mixed subdivisions per beat — triplets next to sixteenths
  • Any time signature from 2 to 13 over /4 or /8 — patterns up to 64 bars

Drum Notation

Place hits on the grid — see them as standard notation instantly

Beat maker notation view
Notation view

Every pattern you build or clone automatically converts to standard drum notation. Toggle between the color-coded grid and staff notation with one tap — both update in real time during playback.

  • Automatic conversion from grid to standard drum notation
  • Sticking labels (R/L/K) appear below the staff
  • Accent marks, ghost notes, and flams render correctly
  • Export notation as images for lessons or social media
