AnyDrumChart
Read full descriptionHide full description
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.

Learning drum parts by ear no longer has to take hours. Drummer Notes analyzes any song you own, isolates the drum track using state-of-the-art on-device AI, and transcribes it into crisp, readable drum sheet music. Then, step into the interactive practice studio: mute the original drum track to play along with the band, slow down tempo without changing pitch, and loop difficult fills until you nail them. No cloud uploads. No subscription required to start. 100% private and works completely offline. ================================== TURN ANY SONG INTO DRUM SHEET MUSIC ================================== • Instant AI Drum Transcription: Import MP3 or AAC files from the Files app, or import directly from your local Apple Music library. • Studio-Grade Drum Stem Isolation: Advanced neural networks cleanly separate drums, bass, vocals, and other instruments right on your iPhone or iPad. • Professional Drum Notation: Clean percussion clef notation with standardized drum kit positions for kick, snare, hi-hat (closed/open), toms, ride, and crash cymbals. ================================== ADAPTIVE DIFFICULTY LEVELS ================================== Learning a song shouldn't be all-or-nothing. With one tap, adjust the score to match your exact skill: • Beginner: Simplifies the beat to kick, snare, and steady quarter-note hi-hats. Eliminates complex ghost notes and 16th-note runs so you can groove immediately. • Intermediate: Adds crash, ride, and 8th-note variations while maintaining clean, readable bars. • Advanced: The complete, uncompromised transcription including ghost notes, intricate cymbal patterns, and lightning fills. ================================== YOUR PERSONAL PLAY-ALONG STUDIO ================================== • Mute the Drums (Minus-One Tracks): Silence the recorded drum track and play in the drummer’s seat alongside the real singer, guitar, and bass! • Pitch-Preserving Tempo Control: Slow down from 100% down to 50% speed without altering pitch or introducing robotic distortion. • Practice Loops: Set custom start and end loop markers to drill tricky fills and transitions measure by measure. • Synchronized Beat Highlighting: Follow the score with real-time visual beat tracking that stays locked to playback. • Play Notes Synthesizer: Hear how the notated drum score sounds with built-in drum audio. • 16th-Note Grid Quantization: Snap complex syncopations to a clean rhythmic grid whenever you need strict timing reference. ================================== EXPORT & PRINT ================================== • High-Resolution PDF Export: Turn your custom transcriptions into beautiful, printable sheet music charts for your music stand, rehearsals, or students. ================================== 100% PRIVATE & OFFLINE ================================== Unlike cloud-based separators that charge per song and upload your audio to external servers, Drummer Notes runs completely on Apple Silicon using Apple's Neural Engine. • Zero data leaves your device — your music stays your music. • Practice anywhere — works on airplanes, in soundproof rehearsal studios, and offline stages. • Fast processing with zero server queues. ================================== DRUMMER NOTES PRO (OPTIONAL UPGRADE) ================================== Get started for free with full access to transcribing your first 3 songs, complete practice mode, and all difficulty levels. Upgrade to Drummer Notes Pro to unlock: • Unlimited song library imports & transcriptions • High-resolution PDF sheet music export • Completely ad-free experience • Available as a simple one-time lifetime purchase!
