NewFor drum teachers and drummers who post lessons
Drum lessons, with the notes on the video.
Put the grooves and fills you teach on your drum video: drum notation, a line that follows your playing, and R L K sticking under every hit.
Write the part or bring it from Guitar Pro, MIDI or MusicXML. Drag it onto your video where you play it, stretch it to the tempo you played, and export it for YouTube, Shorts, Reels or TikTok.

A groove on a drum video: the sticking runs along the top, the notation along the bottom, and each hit lights up as it is played.
Made for drums
Everything a drum lesson needs on screen
R L K under every hit
Right, left and kick for each note, suggested for you and changed with a click or a key. Your colours, your size.
Drum notation that reads right
Hands stems up and feet stems down, or one voice for linear fills. Triplets to septuplets, accents, ghost notes, open and half-open hi-hat.
It follows your playing
A line moves over the notes as you play them. Each part goes where you play it in the video, at the tempo you played it.
Sticking
Five ways to show who plays what
Pick one per clip: on the sheet, or the letters on their own, anywhere on the video. Drag it where you want it and resize it by the corner.
Notation or tab
Drum notation, drum tab, or both
The classic drum tab your viewers know from lesson sites: a line per drum, x and o on the beat grid, the counts on top. Or the drum notation. Or both, the tab under each line of notation, bar for bar.
- x for the hi-hat and cymbals, o for the drums and an open hi-hat, capitals for accents, g for ghost notes
- Hi-hat marks on the notation: + closed, o open, half open
- The same moving line and sticking on all three
Two pedals
Right kick, left kick
Turn on two pedals and every kick says which foot plays it: RK or LK. Runs are suggested alternating, starting on the right, and you change any of them with a click or K and Shift + K.
How it works
From your video to a lesson in four steps
1
Your video
The lesson as you filmed it: a phone, a camera, a screen recording. It never leaves your computer.
2
The part
Write it with the kit pads (hi-hat and kick on one beat, then Next), or bring a Guitar Pro, MIDI or MusicXML file: only the drums come in.
3
Place it
Drag the part onto the timeline where you play it. Played it slower? Stretch the clip and the tempo follows.
4
Export
For YouTube, Shorts, Reels or TikTok, with the notation and the sticking burned in.
Write by clickingKit pads with keyboard keys. Stack a beat, press Next.
Or importGuitar Pro, MIDI, MusicXML, PDF: the drum track, the bars you pick.
Stretch to your tempoSlow on the first take, full speed after: one part, two clips.
Repeat itPlay it four times: one number, with “2 / 4” on screen.
Snap to your hitsA clip moves onto the hits heard in the video.
Every tupletTriplets, quintuplets, sextuplets, septuplets.
Looks

Paper, glass, clear notes with a shadow for busy videos, chalkboard, neon and more. Your colours for R, L and K.
Every shape
YouTube, and upright for Shorts
Export in 16:9 for YouTube or 9:16 for Shorts, Reels and TikTok. The sheet is laid out again for the shape, crisp at any size, and your sound comes through untouched.
