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
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
