## What is Score Drummer?

Practice drums with your own MIDI and Guitar Pro files.

Turn your electronic drum kit into a personal practice studio for the song files you already have. Import a standard MIDI or supported Guitar Pro file, press play, and follow your drum part on screen with live timing feedback.

You can also play directly on your iPhone or iPad with the new eight-pad touch drum kit, with score-aware Hi-Hat articulation and optional light haptic feedback.

Start immediately with five guided Drum Kit Basics lessons and the included Rock Demo Song. Choose an Easy or Full drum arrangement, then import your own MIDI or Guitar Pro files for focused practice.

HOW IT WORKS
• Learn Kick, Snare, Hi-Hat, Crash, Toms, and Ride through five guided lessons.
• Try Rock Demo Song in Easy or Full.
• Import one of your own MIDI or supported Guitar Pro files.
• Let Score Drummer detect the drum track automatically, or choose it yourself.
• Follow the drum part in a lane-based visual score.
• Play with the eight-pad touch drum kit, an electronic drum kit, or keyboard input.
• Get live timing feedback as you practice.

Guided setup helps you choose touch input, keyboard input, or an electronic drum kit before you begin.
