DrumSNotes

Features
Read full description

DrumSNotes teaches rhythm reading by playing. You look at a measure, listen to the click, and tap the rhythms on two pads, like on a drum kit. The app tells you right away whether your hit was on time. 8 LEVELS, STEP BY STEP BEGINNER: the quarter note, the rest and eighth notes. NOVICE and APPRENTICE: the sixteenth rest, sixteenth notes, first combinations. FAMILIAR and ADVANCED: chained sixteenth notes, rests within the beat. TEACHER: more varied rests, for those who really count in their head. VIRTUOSO: the dotted eighth, triplets, sextuplets, then quintuplets and septuplets. MAESTRO: the league, for the bravest. A STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE BEFORE EACH LEVEL Every level starts with a guided explanation: each figure plays by itself, you see it and hear it, two thumbs show you how to tap, and a single button moves you forward. You can watch it again at any time from the settings. A GAME THAT ENCOURAGES YOU Earn stars by getting each measure right, then pass the final test to unlock the next level. If you miss a challenge, nothing is lost: it stays the same, the tempo eases a little, and an encouragement screen helps you go again. Tolerance tightens as you go: the further you get, the more precise you need to be. THE MAESTRO LEAGUE The ultimate level is a league: varied challenges where you play one measure four times, two measures twice each, or four measures in a row, at tempos suited to the difficulty. Every challenge you pass earns points based on your accuracy, up to 10 points at 100%, and 15 points after four perfect challenges in a row. Your score puts you on the online leaderboard (Game Center), overall and for the day, with a podium of the top three. The winner of the day receives a golden stick, which lets you replay an important challenge. COORDINATION: ONE HAND, ONE RHYTHM The screen is split in two by a line: one figure on the left, another on the right, and each pad plays its own side. You start with simply a quarter note on each side, then a quarter note against two eighths, sixteenth notes, rests, triplets, up to sextuplets. 6 levels and dozens of challenges, harder and harder, very gradually. At the end of every level, a bigger and bigger fireworks celebration awaits you! PICK THE SOUND OF YOUR PADS Each pad can have its own sound: shaker, maracas, bongos, conga, claves, bell, cowbell, and the snare, kick and hi-hat of an 808 drum machine, and many more, 25 in all. Take a ready-made kit (Latin, Fiesta, Electro 808, Samba...) or choose your sounds pad by pad. A PAD FOR EACH HAND Two pads, one per hand: blue for the strong hand, orange for the other. Left- or right-handed, the app adapts. A light sound guide helps you find your place, and you can turn it off for a harder challenge. CREATE YOUR OWN SCORES With DrumSNotes PRO, you become the teacher: compose measures of 2 to 5 beats by placing the figures you choose, set the tempo, listen to the result and play it. Keep up to 10 scores. FREE MODE As soon as you finish FAMILIAR, pick any measure in the app and set the tempo as you like. I'M A TEACHER Already a strong reader? At the very start, choose "I'm a teacher" and jump straight to the TEACHER level. Or pick "MAESTRO league": straight to the challenges and leaderboard, with every level open for practice whenever you like. COORDINATION and MY SCORES open at the end of TEACHER.
