Already own Drumline? You won’t pay an extra cent. No subscription. No in-app purchases.
If there’s one thing I’ve learned in nearly 40 years of drumming, it’s that drummers always have each other’s backs. So treat yourself to a new pair of sticks instead. Happy hacking.
WRITE NOTATION
Write your next drum break right in the app. Build battery parts with accents, diddles, flams, dynamics, and tuplets, then hit play. Save and share editable scores, or export PDF and PNG sheet music. That thing you've been tapping on every available surface? Give it a name.
CHARTS
A whole drill book. In Drumline. Place performers, build sets, add counts and music, and watch the transitions in 3D. Check the drill from overhead, orbit, judges, or a performer's view. Basketball courts, WGI floors, custom spaces, and .drillbook sharing. We're moving feet now too.
DRUM MAJOR
Practice with a Drum Major conducting your program. Set the count-in, build tempo and meter changes, and shape the dynamics. There's even a setup countdown so you can put your device down and get ready. No excuses. Watch the hands.
And your battery, front ensemble, metronomes, tuner, and challenges are all still here. It's getting a little ridiculous how much drumline fits in your pocket.

Drumline downloads
Worldwide, per day, and installs to date. The band is open; the exact number is free with an account.
How this is calculated
Apple publishes no download counts. App Store downloads come from chart positions and daily rating growth per country, calibrated on Google Play install counts; lifetime installs from ratings worldwide × installs per rating. Confidence is the chance the real number is within half to double ours.

How this is calculated
Monthly users come from lifetime installs across every store, fitted on monthly active user figures companies publish; daily users = monthly × the typical daily/monthly ratio for the category. Confidence is the chance the real number is within half to double ours.

Review momentum
63/100
faster than 72% of Music apps
Review momentum (0-100) blends how fast the app collects ratings compared with other apps in its category (60%), whether that pace is speeding up (25%) and what recent raters give it (15%; recent stars well below lifetime pull it down). Ratings counts are read daily. A jump usually means a launch, a feature, ads or a new review prompt.

About Drumline
Snare drum, Tenors, Basses, Cymbals, Xylophone, Marimba, Vibraphone, Write Notation, Charts, Drum Major, Metronomes, Drumhead Tuner, and Challenges!!! In your pocket for the cost of a drum key.
This app isn't for people who like drums or are drum-curious. This app is for those who can't stop drumming on anything and everything around them to the point where they are considered "disruptive" to their family, friends, and neighbors.
Honored by Apple as "New & Noteworthy" in the Music apps category.
This isn't some free tap app with canned sound effects and busted graphics. We're bringing the world's best drumming hardware to your fingertips. We've partnered with Dynasty USA Drums, Pro-Mark Drumsticks, Evans Drumheads, and Sabian Cymbals to deliver an optimized marching experience directly to your iPhone and iPad.
And now you can write it, play it, and march it. Are you kidding?!
WRITE NOTATION
That thing you've been tapping on every available surface? Write it down. Build snare, tenor, bass, and cymbal parts with accents, diddles, flams, sticking, dynamics, and tuplets. Go from mf to f with a crescendo. Hit play and hear your battery bring it back. Save and share editable .perc scores, or export PDF and PNG sheet music.
CHARTS
A whole drill book, right here. Place performers, build sets, choose the counts, add your music, and watch the transitions in 3D. Check the drill from overhead, orbit, judges, or a performer's view. Basketball courts, WGI floors, custom spaces, and .drillbook sharing. Yes, we're moving feet now too.
DRUM MAJOR
Somebody's got to keep this thing together. Build a conducting program with different tempos, meters, dynamics, and count-ins. Set a countdown so you can put your device down, then play to the hands. That tempo change isn't going to practice itself.
If you're reading this you're late. 1000s of drummers before you downloaded this app:
• Battery samples professionally recorded by DCI DVD sound engineer Jamie Vanadia at NoiseFloor Ltd. in Chicago.
• Front ensemble samples courtesy of the University of Iowa Musical Instrument Samples (MIS) project. You guys rock!
• In Snare: toggle between dynamics and standard modes.
• In Basses and Tenors: switch between Pro-Mark nylon and soft mallets.
• In Cymbals: crashes, chokes, taps, sizzles, sizzle chokes, hi-hats, and zings.
• Full and split keyboard layouts for xylophone, marimba, and vibes. Foot pedal on vibes, too.
• Color themes to match your drumline.
THE HARDWARE
Snare: Dynasty MS-XD14 Marching Snare Drum.
Tenors: Dynasty MT-680234, five- and six-drum configurations.
Basses: Dynasty MB-18 through MB-26, 18", 20", 22", 24", 26".
Cymbals: Sabian Synergy HHX, 18" and 20".
METRONOMES
30–300 BPM in wood block, metal, or duts. Quarter, eighth, sixteenth, and triplet subdivisions. Offbeats and all that sweetness you need. Save your presets for the next rep.
DRUMHEAD TUNER
Do the impossible: tune your tenors or basses. Hit-and-hold pitch detection, Low/Standard/High tunin
