Turn any recording into drum notation
Upload a recording, or paste a link to a song. We’ll turn it into drum notation, MIDI, and MusicXML you can actually read and edit — isolated drums or pulled out of a full mix.

We find and transcribe the drum part
Even if it's buried under a full band, we isolate the kit and transcribe what it's playing, drum by drum: kick, snare, hats, toms, cymbals.

Frequently asked questions
- Does it need to be drums-only?
- No. Full mixes work — we isolate the kit first, even when it's buried under vocals, guitars, and bass.
- How accurate is it?
- It's strongest on clean recordings. Busy fills, heavy cymbal wash, ghost-note-dense funk, and lo-fi live recordings are genuinely harder — for any transcriber, human or AI — and you may need to touch up the result by hand. We'd rather tell you that upfront than oversell it.
- What do I get back?
- Three formats: a PDF to print and play today, MIDI for your DAW or e-kit, and MusicXML to keep editing in MuseScore, Guitar Pro, or Sibelius. All three land in your inbox.
- How long does it take?
- Usually just a few minutes from when you submit — we'll email you as soon as it's ready.
- Is it free?
- Pricing isn't finalized yet. Submit a recording now and we'll let you know before anything is ever charged.
