Drumsheet Scanner
Scan your drumsheet and listen
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
DrumSheetScanner turns drum notation into a playable, editable groove.
Photograph a drum sheet or import an image. DrumSheetScanner finds the page structure and reads the notation into a drum pattern you can inspect and refine. Use the groove grid to correct hits, change the tempo, shape the pattern, and play it back with a built-in drum kit.
When your groove is ready, export it as a standard MIDI file or a lossless WAV file for use in your music workflow.
Features:
• Scan drum notation with the camera or import a page from Photos
• Detect staff notation and drum note positions
• Edit kick, snare, hi-hat, cymbal, and tom hits in a step grid
• Change tempo, time signature, subdivisions, and pattern structure
• Play patterns back with a built-in SoundFont drum kit
• Keep multiple sessions and patterns on the device
• Export MIDI for DAWs, MuseScore, and GarageBand
• Export lossless WAV audio
• Work privately on-device with no account, analytics, or advertising
Designed for drummers, teachers, students, and producers who want to move quickly from a written groove to something they can hear and edit.
Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
New ways to practise along with your charts:
• Tempo trainer – start a groove slowly and let the app speed it up step by step. Choose start and end tempo, step size and how often each tempo repeats. At the end it can hold, restart or bounce back.
• See the beat – the metronome can flash the edge of the screen on every beat, brightest on the first beat of the bar. Choose Sound, Flash or Both in Settings → Metronome.
• Mute an instrument – tap the drum icon at the start of a row to silence it, even during playback, and play that part yourself.
• Practise from the Sheet – the Sheet screen now has its own metronome and BPM buttons, and the screen stays on while music plays.
• Sharper scans – the camera warns you when a photo looks out of focus. Tap the preview to focus on the music.
• Better recognition – repeat signs and rests are now read from the page, and bar and staff detection is more reliable.
• "What's new" tour after each update, available again any time in Settings.
