About

DrumVerse

DrumVerse is a drum practice studio and rhythm game for iPad — learn to read drum music, play along to charts and sheet music, and drill the rudiments, all using the sounds of your own electronic drum kit. Connect the iPad's audio output to your drum module's aux/audio-in and you'll hear your own kit while DrumVerse handles the notation, scoring, timing and backing tracks. No e-kit? Play along with the on-screen pads and highway. LESSONS A guided beginner course that teaches you to read drum sheet music from zero — hi-hat, then snare, then kick, all the way to your first grooves. Earn stars, XP and achievements, with an optional "listen first" demo and a 4-count lead-in. 40 DRUM RUDIMENTS Practice on a big snare pad or the Left/Right drumsticks that light up to guide your sticking. Everything loops for steady reps. SHEET MUSIC Open Guitar Pro (.gp) and MIDI (.mid) files — read them as classic notation or as a falling-note highway Drumless mode — mute the written drums and play the part yourself Loop any section, step through note-by-note, set the tempo, and follow a metronome RHYTHM GAME Clone Hero–compatible charts — use your existing song folders (.chart / .mid + audio) 8-lane layout — crash, hi-hat, snare, kick, toms and ride Difficulty levels and an optional Note-by-Note mode Per-track mixer — balance vocals, guitar, bass and drums, or jump straight in JAM Free-play kit with a rearrangeable layout Play along to YouTube videos or your own .mp3 / .wav backing tracks USE YOUR OWN KIT Your module, your tones — routed through the iPad's audio out. DrumVerse adds the notation, timing, scoring and metronome on top. MIDI & SETUP Connect your e-kit over USB or Bluetooth (input) Pick your drum module so every pad maps to the right lane, and calibrate latency Add your own songs, sheet music and tracks from the Files app, then tap Refresh DrumVerse is always improving. If you hit an issue (especially with different drum brands), use Logging & Diagnostics in Settings to capture a log and send it over — your feedback really helps. Questions or want to chat?
