96 Song to chart and the band leaves in two weeks.
At a rehearsal, you are given 5 pages of measure after measure of music to play.
Auditions, how to do you prepare?
Bands and shows, how do you keep organized?
Many drummers every day are faced with this problem and are forced to solve the problem either by hoping they can memorize all the songs or write an unorganized, hard to read drum chart from scratches they wrote upon a napkin and hope they get it right. Every day, drummers have to play it right the first time without drum music because most composers don’t know how to write drum music and a chart is not available. Drummers are constantly told to just play and then are criticized for not playing it the way the composer/songwriter envisioned the song to sound.
With 40 years of professional music experience, we have solved that problem for drummers, songwriters, and composers with the book “How to Write A Fast and Easy Drum Chart,” Alfred Publishing. We started with a drum chart store called Easy Drum Chart to selling the book and it quickly expanded to selling the single charts we enjoyed writing. With this simple concept, we have designed an online tool to create a simple and easy drum chart fast and easy. This tool is the first of its kind to help drummers, songwriters, and composers to create a drum chart for all of their projects and bands that they work with. Along with a community membership website, drummers will soon be able to create and share charts globally, helping one another to achieve success.
This program is called DrumChartBuilder.
