I love the app! Maybe I’m missing it but I don’t see quarter note triplets :(

Why did you stop updating, this app could have been so incredible with just a few more features

Great platform for making drum specific music but there’s only two different drums. It would be better if there was a bass drum and toms, maybe even symbols.

I love this app, but it needs one thing. Bass drums I think they would be an awesome addition. Good luck.

Great app that is simple to understand and effective! However, I wish the app had a wider variety of rudiments (pre made and smaller subdivisions).

Decent app would like to be able to double stack notes on tenor

This is a really good app I like writing down my ideas and cadences I already know and having the ability to pull out my phone and create something whenever. I have 2 suggestions, 1. Basses, this app only has snare and tenor which is kinda sad, plz add basses, 2. You should add a feature where you can combine all the parts together to create your own cadence and listen to them with all there parts playing together. Other wise, great app ? Show more

This app is the only one of its kind on the market, and I’m really liking the direction it’s taking. I believe that this app is well worth my money already, but I would say that there need to be signs of moving forward for it to continue to grow and expand its audience. A few things I’d like to see- • Of course, Bass Drum and Cymbal notation (though this has been talked about already) • More export options (ability to change zoom level, measures per line, etc.) • The ability to combine multiple instruments into a single drum break (this has also been mentioned before- something to note, though, is that you could add some sort of score feature even without having to implement the playback of them all yet- or choose to export a score pdf/jpg where you have a selection screen of your breaks and can select a break of each instrument type) • More even playback - lower on my priority list, as it’s decent atm, but would be nice to have more precise timing at some point. • (probably furthest down the road, I understand) Integration with your other app, Drumline- play general rhythms in Drumline (pre-specified tempo is fine) and have them roughly quantized to Break Creator (big, difficult ask, I know) • Highest priority and most importantly to me- more communication. Be it on the Twitter page or a devlog/news section in the app, users need to know what’s going on, even (especially) if the news is that you’re going to be busy and won’t have time to work on the app itself. Give us a heads up so that we aren’t worried about the state of the app and its future. We won’t bite ? Great work so far, John. Can’t wait to see this continue to grow! Show more

It is a great app but it’s missing some stuff. It needs basses ?, double stops on tenor, and multiple drums on one song. It’s an amazing app which helps my high school drum line. We love it!!! Show more

This app has lots of potential. The only real other app for notation from drumline is flat and flat is counterintuitive. I think the only thing that will extend this apps life is the communication between the author and the community. He is already doing this which is great, but the work is just beginning. This app is for finicky, new, and honestly just unreliable. Here are some things that still need to be added: -Playback, diddles for some reason sound like different sounds all together. Buzzes, jesus. -Bass drums- No bass drums. -Battery- the ability to add two instruments together is non-existent. It’s a “Drumline Break Creator “ right? Why can’t I right for two instruments then? -More customizations- Does anyone really like that mustard background? Custom tab should exist, instead of flipping back and forth. DYNAMICS- Why? Why? Why? Where are the dynamics???? Tuplet Tool- I like the idea of preset notes to just drag in but I also need stuff for my own. Hertas- Here’s something to try, go in and drag out a triplet. Now drag out another but put the note divider on the first note. ITS NOT THE SAME SPEED, ITS A SIXTEENTH NOTE HERTA. I could go on and name soooooooo many more problems. This apps release should have delayed and still shouldn’t be out because it needs actual work. Wouldn’t recommend the purchase until the app is actually a reliable notation app. Show more

So first of all i guess dynamics just don’t exist?? i don’t know if i’m blind but dynamics are kind of extremely important in drumline.... second of all when i play the music i’ve written it’s extremely choppy and doesn’t sound good, kind of like glitches. Show more

Just downloaded both the apps to help me practice this year. Just from this first few minutes both seem amazing! Just wondering if there will be any bass add ons for Break creator? Show more

This app is great but it needs 32nd notes and more features.

This app is awesome! I have used it to write down my ideas easily and transcribe some of my own snare features from old shows. I love the tone of the snare and the tenors. I do have a few suggestions though. At fast tempos, it starts to sound a little sloppy. I personally don’t know a solution to that problem because it might just be in the code. Also it would be cool to be able to tie notes together. Quarter note triplets would also be nice to have. An idea i had was that is would be cool to be able to write tenor and snare parts together in a score. Maybe that will be added later? Besides that, this app suits really well for the little amount of money you have to spend! Show more

First and foremost this app is AWESOME! Playback needs to be smoothed out at quicker tempi. But, Improvements are underway from what I’ve read and the changes that are coming are well worth the price tag. Seriously! BUY THIS APP! I’ve had a few students download the app and they use it everyday for practice and creation. Show more

This app does not rotate the screen with your phone meaning that every time you try to drag a not in it pulls out your notifications menu, other than that it seems pretty good so far?? Show more

A GOOD DRUM CREATOR but one thing can you add bad drum and a way to merge the drums to make them play together

This app is awesome! Super useful for when I get ideas for breaks when I don’t have my computer with me. I was maybe hoping for an update where there are multiple instruments in a single break? Other than that, this is sweet! Show more

I will say that the software is relatively intuitive and I like being able to put my ideas down on the go. My two main suggestions to improve this dramatically is to add an ability to turn a note within a tuplet into a rest. And my second suggestion is to add a part for bass drums. While it’s good to write for both snare and tenor, Basses are also a vital part of any line (me being a bass drummer by trade). Edit: I re-read the description and saw that Basses were going to be added. Sick! But again would love to see an option for rests. Possibly make it as one of the “articulation” options. So, like instead of an accent, it would turn that note into a rest. Show more

The app has a good concept it could just be executed better. You can’t delete notes on tenors and it could use more of a variety in tuplets and note variations but i’m excited to see the next update. Show more
