  • Screen rotation

    This app does not rotate the screen with your phone meaning that every time you try to drag a not in it pulls out your notifications menu, other than that it seems pretty good so far👍🏻

    Check out version 1.3. I believe this issue is fixed. 🤞
  • FINNALLY

    A GOOD DRUM CREATOR but one thing can you add bad drum and a way to merge the drums to make them play together
  • Wow!

    This app is awesome! Super useful for when I get ideas for breaks when I don’t have my computer with me. I was maybe hoping for an update where there are multiple instruments in a single break? Other than that, this is sweet!

    Developer Response

    Thanks for that feedback! Multiple instruments in a single break is on the roadmap but it's a bit more complicated than you'd think because of the number of sound files all firing at once that need to be happening for playback. Not off the table but it's a bit more of a overhaul for playback. Thanks for downloading and lots of updates in store soon!
  • Decent Writing Software

    I will say that the software is relatively intuitive and I like being able to put my ideas down on the go.

    My two main suggestions to improve this dramatically is to add an ability to turn a note within a tuplet into a rest. And my second suggestion is to add a part for bass drums. While it’s good to write for both snare and tenor, Basses are also a vital part of any line (me being a bass drummer by trade).

    Edit: I re-read the description and saw that Basses were going to be added. Sick! But again would love to see an option for rests. Possibly make it as one of the “articulation” options. So, like instead of an accent, it would turn that note into a rest.

    Thanks for all this feedback! Converting notes to rests (say in a tuplet) are coming soon as well as a way to double a note like as a drag but using alternating sticking (say you want to create hertas within some rudiments). Thanks for downloading and many updates coming soon! Update: check out version 1.3! Lots of rest to note replacing action added as well as the ability to make 32nd notes.
  • Pretty Average

    The app has a good concept it could just be executed better. You can’t delete notes on tenors and it could use more of a variety in tuplets and note variations but i’m excited to see the next update.

    Developer Response

    Thanks for downloading and the feedback! Check out version 1.3. New tuplets, you can now divide notes to make combos of 8ths, 16ths, and 32nd notes within rudiments. You can also now replace any note with it’s appropriate rest within a rudiment. Thanks for your feedback and hope these updates hit the mark! 😬
  • Love the concept but somethings could be added or improved to make it better.

    I love this app because it’s the simplest and most efficient way to write sheet music for a drumline but there are a good bit of things I’d fix or add.

    - I’d love to see the option to create bass drum breaks, it’d be tons of fun.

    - There has to be quarter note triplets and the option to leave our triplets.

    - I’d also love to see the option to have multiple instruments in a single break to create drum features rather than single instrument breaks/ solos.

    -Double stops are not together, they sound like flams on tenors.

    -The fourth drum on tenors stands out.

    -there should be the option to right “B” to indicate both hands for sticking.

    - Playback of the breaks could be cleaner/ smoother and more accurate!!!

    - For tenors, add the parentheses around the notes that indicate crossovers, it makes reading the music a lot easier and it tells which hand should be the one crossing over.

    - There should definitely be the option to write in dynamics.

    - There should definitely be the option to write notes played on the rim.

    - For tenors there should be the option to write in skanks, not just rim shots.

    - There should be the option to add text above measures or notes to indicate things like stick tricks, visuals, where on the drum you should be playing etc.

    - There should be the option for tempo/ meter changes.

    - There should definitely be the option for rests in triplets.

    - Ninelets and 32nd notes should be added.

    - Tenuto notes should definitely be added.

    -Also for tenors I think there should be the option for different kinds of sticks/ mallets because there is a very specific sound to each one. (This would also apply to basses if added)

    - should be the option for more specific tempos, not just tempos in increments of 5.

    -There should be the option of quarter note 5-lets

    I hope all of these things are considered if not added. I’d love the app 100x more if I saw these on there, but it’s already a good app as it is. I feel like these changes could really positively effect the experience of the app and more people would want to use it, because it is already one of if not the simplest and most efficient way of composing drumline music.

    Thank you!

  • Triplets?

    Hey! I wanted to try and mess around with various triplet rhythms however I can’t put a rest in any point of the triplet. (for example, having a beat on the first and third notes in the triplet but nothing in the middle.) I really enjoy using the app. There’s a few small technical difficulties such as getting the notes I want to pop up in the right places, but apart from that. Love it!

    Thanks for the feedback! More tuplet rudiments are coming including one with an eighth nite rest in the middle. Thanks for that feedback. As for note placement shoot some feedback in the website with a little more detail and I’ll look into it. Thanks again for downloading and the support. This app is in its early days so I’m pumped to get this kind of feedback where there are actionable items!
  • Yes!

    Love it!!!!! I’ve never written anything before. Please add in some 32nd note rudiments and maybe back sticking and I’ll love you forever.

    Coming in the next version! Thanks for downloading and glad you are enjoying it!
