RDM Playalongs vs Drumsheet Scanner

Three practice tools for rudimental drummers, built to get your hands clean and fast. PLAYALONGS 500+ exercises. Press play and it loops until you stop it. Set the tempo to bounce around inside a range so you can't settle in, or have it climb every few reps until you find where you break. Twelve ready-made playlists too, or build your own. METRONOME Any time signature. Any subdivision, including the ones normal metronome apps don't have: 7-lets, 9-lets, ratio rhythms. Accent, diddle, buzz or mute any beat, any partial. Chain different rhythms into a sequence and save it. SIGHT-READING LAB Hit generate, get a page you've never seen. Set the tempo, the rests, the stickings, the syncopation, the time signature. Set the difficulty to your level. Notation on screen while it plays, so you're reading and hearing at the same time. Practice time tracked. Streaks. Leaderboard. Stuck on something? Post it in the community and I'll answer it myself. Built by Anthony Steller, a gigging drummer and snare instructor, for marching snare drummers and drumlines. Start free. You get all three tools with limits, no card needed. RDM Playalongs Monthly is an auto-renewing subscription, $12.99 per month. It unlocks all 500+ exercises and every control in all three tools.

Photograph a page of drum notation and hear it play. DrumSheetScanner reads a printed drum chart from a photo: it finds the staves, the bars and every notehead, reads the title, tempo and time signature, and turns the page into a song you can play, correct and export. Everything runs on your iPhone, offline. SCAN A REAL PAGE • Photograph the sheet on your stand or desk, or pick one from Photos, even a small picture forwarded from a messenger. • The page is found and straightened for you. If the edge cannot be seen, such as white paper on a white table, drag the corners into place and it is read again. • Songs of several pages stay together, in the order you choose. • Reads 4/4, 6/8 and triplets, open and closed hi-hats, crash, ride, three toms, snare and kick. HEAR IT, FOLLOW IT • Playback with a real drum kit from a bundled SoundFont, full or simple. • On the Sheet, the cursor runs along the photo of your page, so you see where the music is. • A metronome, and a tempo trainer that raises the tempo step by step while you play. LOOP WHAT YOU'RE LEARNING • Long-press a bar, tap more, and only those bars play, round and round, even across lines and pages. FIX ANYTHING BY TAPPING • Every bar lands in a step grid. Tap a cell to add or remove a hit, set accents and ghost notes, change tempo, time signature and resolution. • Split a bar the scan merged, delete a bar, or remove every empty bar in one go. YOUR SONGS, KEPT • Every scan is a session you can come back to. Your original photos are kept, so a newer version of the app can read a song again without new photos. EXPORT • Standard MIDI files for your DAW, MuseScore or GarageBand. • Lossless WAV audio to share or practise along with. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No account, no ads, no in-app purchases. • Scanning, text recognition, playback and export all happen on your iPhone. Nothing is uploaded unless you share it yourself. No scanner reads every chart perfectly. When a page comes out wrong, Export → Help improve recognition sends the developer that page and your fixes, so a later version reads it better. For drummers, students and teachers who want to hear a groove before they play it, and practise the hard bars on repeat.
