About

AnyDrumChart

Features

Paste a link to any song you're learning. Get a real drum chart you can actually play — not tabs made for a different instrument, not a chart for a different song. AnyDrumChart listens to the recording and writes a chart at four levels, from "just the kick and snare, but correct" to the full transcription. Start simple, drag one slider to see more. A chart that's right and simple beats one that's detailed and wrong — every other drum transcriber hands you the full chart and lets you find the mistakes yourself. WHAT YOU GET • Four levels of the same chart — backbone, groove, detailed, full — one slider, no re-converting • Play-along mode: the original recording with the drummer muted, so you can play the real song along with the rest of the band • The drumless mix, free — not a separate paid feature • Real percussion notation, not guitar-style tab — proper staff, proper rests, proper beams • Export to PDF, MusicXML, or MIDI • Setlists for practice sessions or the gig • Works with a wireless MIDI drum kit — see your own hits on the chart live HONEST ABOUT WHAT IT IS Level 4 is the raw transcription — it's labeled a draft, with its own confidence score, meant to be fixed in the built-in editor in under five minutes, not trusted blindly. Levels 1 and 2 are the real product: right, simple, and playable today. YOURS, ALWAYS Every chart you make stays on your device. Cancelling a subscription never locks a chart you've already made — that isn't a promise, it's how the app is built. PRICING Your first conversion is free, no account needed. AnyDrumChart Pro ($6.99/month or $49.99/year, 7-day free trial) unlocks up to 25 conversions a month, all four levels, the chart editor, and every export format. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings. Built by a drummer, for practicing whatever song you're actually working on this week.
