Drumcheck

Elevator Pitch

Drumcheck

Impossible drums? DRUMCHECK analyzes a MIDI drum part and shows what a drummer can’t play.

Product Description

Open a MIDI drum part in DRUMCHECK, or draw one. It assigns every note to a hand or foot and marks conflicts in red, such as three hand-played notes at once or a move across the kit with too little time. Edit the notes, see the result immediately, and export MIDI.

DRUMCHECK is a working prototype for desktop browsers. It models a right-handed drummer on a defined kit with a single kick pedal.


How It’s Innovative

A DAW plays whatever you program, but that does not mean a drummer can perform it. DRUMCHECK analyzes the part and assigns the notes to two hands and two feet. An animated overhead drummer shows the result, and conflicts are marked so the part can be revised immediately.

Most Inspiring Use Cases

Producers and composers preparing MIDI parts for live drummers.
Drummers reviewing parts before rehearsal or recording.
Teachers and students working through transcriptions.

Expansion Plans

Planned directions include more kit layouts and techniques, such as left-handed setups and double pedals. Models for other instruments may follow.

Commercialization

Currently a non-commercial working prototype.
