Drum2Notes vs DrumShed

Drum2Notes: Transcribe Drum Recordings to Sheet Music » Transcribe drum recordings to sheet music » View the transcribed music as drum notation » Playback the music recognition and listen to the result » Download sheet as PDF, MIDI, or MusicXML » Share your drum sheet with your friends HOW DOES IT WORK? Once your drum recording is uploaded, our artificial intelligence powered music recognition processes it to generate a score based on what it hears. When the sheet music is finished, you get three outputs - a MIDI file, a PDF engraved sheet music, and a MusicXML digital sheet. MusicXML export is compatible with MuseScore and Sibelius. The MIDI format is compatible with Ableton Live, GarageBand, Logic Pro X, Cubase, and FL Studio. It has never been easier to convert drum pieces to sheet music! WHAT THIS APP DOESN'T OFFER » Separation of multiple instruments: The note recognition can't separate multiple instruments. If you record multiple instruments playing simultaneously, you will get bad sheet music results! As the name suggests, Drum2Notes will work only with drum recordings. » Live music recognition: This app is not able to show you live music recognition results. Instead, it will take some time to perform the frequency analysis and show you the results. » 100% match percentage: This app won't detect 100% of the music recognition and there will also be wrong detections. But depending on the quality of the input signal, it will give you useful suggestions! REQUIREMENTS » Internet: active internet connection for server connectivity » iOS: version 11.0 and up » Microphone DESKTOP VERSION » There is a desktop version of this app available, which you can access in your browser: https://drum2notes.klang.io » The desktop version covers even more features like converting sheet music from YouTube, uploading MP3 files, and downloading as PDF, MIDI, or MusicXML files. Give your music your personal note! SUMMARY Transcribe drum music from your microphone to sheet music. With Drum2Notes, you can create live recordings of your drum performances.

BEAT, FILL & EXERCISE BUILDERS Create beats, fills, and exercises with a guided wizard designed by drummers — every step is built around real musical reasoning, so the patterns you build actually make sense on the kit. Fresh new ideas and drills in seconds. Or start from scratch in the full pattern editor, or describe what you want and let AI draft it (beta). Staff notation and grid views. Share your creations with the community. SONGS Songs. Upload a song — a rehearsal take, a demo, the track you're learning — and play along three ways: the band without the drums, the drums alone, or the full mix. Slow it to half speed at the same pitch, ride a click that follows the take bar by bar, and loop a bar range inside a session. ~100 built in play alongs spanning 20 genres included! METRONOME — FREE A fully featured metronome, free forever. Any time signature, any subdivision, polyrhythms, advanced accent patterns — no paywall. Most apps charge for this. DrumShed gives it away. METRONOME DRILLS A metronome that does more than click. Configure time signatures, subdivisions, accent patterns, and polyrhythms. Run structured drills with automatic tempo progression, count-ins, and voice cues — hands-free. AI PRACTICE CO-PILOT (BETA) Tell the AI what you want to work on and it drafts a custom practice session — drills, tempos, and warm-up structure tailored to your level. Every plan is yours to review and adjust before you play, and every AI-drafted beat opens in the full editor. It drafts, you decide what's good. COMMUNITY Browse and play beats and fills shared by other drummers. Share your own creations. Get inspired by what others are practicing. SHARE & EXPORT Record any beat or fill as a video with grid or notation view — app audio captured directly, no screen recording needed. Export notation as high-res images with sticking labels. Share a link that opens your pattern directly in DrumShed so anyone can hear it, clone it, and practice it. Built for teachers sharing exercises and creators posting to TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram. PROGRESS TRACKING See your practice history, streaks, and achievements. Track drill counts and practice time across weeks, months, and all time. PATHS Guided practice paths that take the guesswork out of what to work on next. Each day builds on the last — real drills, real tempos, matched to your level. Start with the Getting Started paths and practice with direction. New paths are added regularly. Works with any drum kit — acoustic or electronic. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Play along without the drums. Upload a song and DrumShed separates the drums from the rest, finds the tempo and the downbeats, and gives you the band without the drums to play along to — or the drums alone to learn the part by ear. Slow it down without changing pitch. Nudge the click until it sits right. Drop a bar range into a session and loop it.
