Must have app for CAPOEIRA & all that want to learn to improve their groove!!!

Franklin Pancakes
Music and finding our groove is is an essential part of how we learn to feel who we are, who we can become, and how we can connect with each other. As a Capoeira practioner since 1999, this app is a technology and learning tool that I have never encountered before. The developer of this app collaborated/consulted with some of the most authentic Capoeira teachers/Mestres/educators and the result is unbelievable! Not only that, but this tool will keep getting better and better the more we use and explore what Drumap has to offer. If I could rate this app 100 stars I would!

Great App But…

Amazing app! I really do love it and see the huge potential in it, although it’s bugged a tiny bit so I’m just going get on to my complaints.PLEASE fix the bug with the accents, the accents literally don’t work, they work at first but once you save and exit the score and then return, the accents are gone and it’s so annoying. Also please make it easier to make accented beats, it’s mad annoying having to click them individually.Also just personal preference, but I don’t like the sound of the new Tom drum, the old one sounded clearer, but that’s just a bit pick. Tysm! I love this app just please fix the accents! (I had written a review alr but I don’t think it saved so yeah)

Absolute game changer. A drummers best friend

The App Store is saturated with apps that say they do some sort of drum notation but fall vastly short of a desirable mobile solution. Drumap sets itself apart from this by actually doing what it says it will do. It’s a great tool for writing quick ideas on the go while not at your kit, workshopping grooves and fills, and/or writing instruction material for drumming students. I can’t express enough how much this tool has helped me on my drumming journey. Do yourself a favor and download it now.

Hello, what I mean is I’m not good at editing due to my visual impairment, but I’m good at playing drums or different instruments, if you can, could you please add a feature where you can play the individual instruments by tapping on the drum or other percussion instrument, and the marching percussion sounds needs to be improved, for instance, some platform like this have high-quality marching percussion sounds, and when I hear peoples scores on the app, the marching percussion does not sound that realistic

Developer Response
Hey Isaiah, thanks a lot for your feedback!We’d love to hear more about what you mean by improving the marching percussion sound — are there specific instruments or aspects of the sound that you think could be better? That would help us a lot!And about the editing part, could you send us a quick message at support@upbeat.studio to explain what exactly feels tricky or unclear for you? We want to make it easier and more intuitive, and your input is super valuable.Thanks again for using Drum Notes! 🥁🔥
