User reviews

Drumline

It did have nice song and it was free but did not have the song like big easy eye of the tiger and 7 naitlo army

Response from developer

Hi P money, thanks for the review! 🥁 We're glad you enjoyed the app. Our sheet music library is actually built and expanded by our amazing community of drummers. Since we don't officially release new licensed songs ourselves, we'd love to invite you to use our notation tools to transcribe and create sheets for "Eye of the Tiger" and "Seven Nation Army" yourself! It's a great way to practice writing and reading drum music. If you need any help getting started with the notation tools, or want to share what else would make this a 5-star experience for you, please hit us up at support@upbeat.studio. Keep the beat! 🚀

Clean and free

Others are just scams this ones good

We strive to provide a clean, reliable experience for drummers to read and play notation without the "scammy" feel of other apps. We’re glad you’re finding the tool useful! If you ever have feature requests for our playback engine or notation tools, don't hesitate to drop us a line at support@upbeat.studio. Keep the beat! 🚀

Question

How do I write a whole note bass drum roll? Only see your basic notes???

Response from developer

Hi Coole Moe D! Thanks a ton for the 5 stars! 🥁 Regarding the "whole note bass drum roll"—we want to ensure we help you write exactly what you need, but we aren't 100% sure which specific notation style you are looking for. Could you shoot us a quick email at support@upbeat.studio with a few more details? We’d love to help you figure this out! Keep the beat! 🚀

The app I always wanted

Always needed something like this. An app that I can actually write out ideas in. Garage band would be fine except that you can’t do triplets and 16ths without making a new song essentially and it’s just overall not very user friendly.
Great app for finding new stuff and writing out exercises you come up with yourself.

Please let us know at support@upbeat.studio so we can keep improving. Keep the beat! 🚀
