Guitar Pro support
Load .gp, .gp3, .gp4, .gp5, and .gpx charts directly. Score Drummer converts drum parts, section markers, tempo changes, and backing instruments into the same practice-ready score used for MIDI files.
Your Drums. Your Songs. Your Score.
Score Drummer is a real-time drumming feedback app for Mac, iPad, iPhone, and Windows. Drop in any MIDI or Guitar Pro file, play along on your e-kit, and get millisecond-precise timing feedback on every single hit.
Free to practice. Pro to perform.
Latest Updates
Recent improvements for importing real songs, syncing audio, and reviewing performances.
Performance replay
Completed Performance runs can be replayed with every hit-quality marker visible on the score. Scrub the timeline, hear your recorded drums with the backing track, and compare takes from the song history.
Better audio alignment
Auto-Sync now starts with a simple two-marker map, while advanced drift analysis can expose editable markers only when the audio shows real tempo drift. Manual Sync includes undo, restore, zoom, and clearer marker controls.
Built for Serious Practice
Every feature designed to make your practice sessions more effective.
Real-Time Feedback
Six precision tiers from Perfect (within 20ms) to Miss. See exactly how early or late every hit lands, with color-coded visual feedback on every note.
Two Play Modes
Practice Mode for building skills at any tempo with looping and lead-in. Performance Mode for scored play-throughs with grading. Unlock detailed stats with Pro.
Audio Backing Tracks Pro
Play along with actual song audio, not just synthesized MIDI. Import audio backing tracks and use assisted sync with manual adjustment tools to line up real recordings with your chart.
Professional Mixer
Five-bus hierarchical mixer with per-track and per-drum-family control. Volume, mute, and solo: everything you need to focus your practice.
Tempo Control
Slow down difficult passages from 10% to 100% speed with pitch-preserving time stretch. Musical count-in with metronome on every resume.
Song Library Pro
Import MIDI or Guitar Pro files (.gp, .gp3–.gp5, .gpx) with automatic drum track detection. Drag-and-drop on desktop. Organize, export, and share your library across devices.
Drum MIDI Mapping
Route any e-kit’s notes to Score Drummer’s lanes, even on non-GM modules. Save named presets per kit, get a guided walk-through for new ones, and auto-restore the right preset on reconnect.
Performance Replay Pro
Every Performance run is recorded automatically. Replay any take to see all hit-quality markers across the full score, scrub the timeline, and hear your drums layered back over the backing track.
Track Your Progress Pro
Every Performance run is logged with date, accuracy, and grade. Watch your scores climb on the progress graph, drill into any session for a per-hit breakdown, and see your best-ever badge on each song.
From Import to Improvement
Three steps to better drumming.
1
Import a Song
Drop in any MIDI or Guitar Pro file. Drag it onto the window on Mac and Windows, or pick it from the library. Score Drummer auto-detects the drum track, maps instruments to lanes, and builds a scrolling score.
2
Play Along
Connect your electronic drum kit or use your keyboard. Hit play and see your notes evaluated in real time against the score.
3
Review & Improve
Get a detailed breakdown of your accuracy. See your hit quality counts. Dial in tempo, loop tricky sections, and nail them.

Every hit is classified into one of six tiers based on timing accuracy. Extra marks hits with no matching note in the score.
Perfect
≤ 20ms
Good
≤ 50ms
Early
> 50ms
Late
> 50ms
Miss
