Drum2Notes - Transcribe Drums

Love this app! I’m at the stage of my drumming journey where I’m wanting to learn songs to learn and stretch and grow. This helps! Hear a song, make a sound file, upload and it’s on. Pretty accurate with some slight variation here and there - but manageable since it plays the music in time with the notation - meaning you can hear it. I have trouble getting YouTube links to upload. Might be a licensing thing (I don’t know). What works for me is a screen recording (Spotify works, Apple Music doesn’t for me) trimmed, with automation to pull audio files from video. I’m sure it will get better over time, but five stars from me for the practicality and value!

This app has a lot of unique value. It transcribes like no other app on the market. And it even lets you do it for free, up to a point of course. It’s really cool to be able to record a video, and have it transcribed. The bad stuff: it just need polish. Various small issue with usability make it feel like an app that still has a lot of work to do. On a raw level, despite and UX issues, the app is a valuable asset.
