USB MIDI
MIDI Drum Trainer for Electronic Drum Kits
Score Drummer uses MIDI input from your e-kit to compare what you play against the drum score. Connect over USB, map your kit once, and practice songs with real-time hit evaluation.
Practice with the MIDI notes your kit actually sends
Electronic drum modules do not always send the same note numbers. Score Drummer includes MIDI mapping tools so different kits can trigger the right lanes in the score.
Guided kit mapping
Map pads and cymbals to Score Drummer lanes, including non-GM modules.
Saved presets
Keep named presets per kit and auto-restore the right setup when you reconnect.
Why MIDI makes feedback possible
Every pad sends a note
Your module sends MIDI note data when you strike a pad or cymbal, giving Score Drummer the timing and instrument information it needs.
The score defines the target
Imported MIDI and Guitar Pro files provide the expected notes, tempo changes, and song structure.
Hit timing is compared live
Incoming notes are matched to expected notes and classified by timing quality.
Mapping keeps kits flexible
If your kick, snare, toms, or cymbals use different note numbers, presets keep your setup consistent.
