Looking through lots of MuseScore videos, this one was dope. Thank you.

Thanks a lot ! Very clear and straightfoward. Exactly what I needed to start writing drums in musescore.

Thank you, thank you! Finally, an explanation how to write drum music with one voice and stems up. I've been looking for years!

This helped a lot, many thanks!

Thank you very much ! Exactly this is what I was looking for....

A great big thank you to you! Very useful. Clear and straightforward. Subscribed!

Very helpful and saved a lot of time - thank you very much!

Literally exactly what I needed

thanks this was super helpful!

Thank you mate, perfect video!

Thanks so much dude, great tutorial!

Thanks Demonic! Got me started with notation software and I'm going to include Musescore notation on my videos, soon as I get it together.

Thanks, very helpful

Very helpful! Thank you, man!

Thank you so much! Very helpful

Perfect! Thank You!

Thanks so much, I am an older drummer and I wanted to have the ability to put my transcriptions in a nice formatted musical text... I just watched 5-6 mins.. going to comeback and watch it all and then give it a shot... thanks again Youngblood

superb!

Very good tutorial, Thank you!!!

Thanks you so very much, I never would have figured this out on my own!

Thanks for the tutorial bro luv from Aus 🇦🇺

Excellent explanation

Thanks a lot, Teacher!

tysm sir for the explanation it helps me a lot. thank you🙌

Thank you, Sir!

Well explained! Now I know how to use Drumset in MuseScore. Thank you very much for sharing this very clear tutorial.

Thank you so much for this, can't wait to use it now

Thank you! Immensely helpful! This helped me navigate the software as a brand new user. After working awhile, though, like Tyler Davis, I also had problems with adding 2 voices in some cases; also, could not find a way to add an open+closed hihat notation.

Thank you 💖

THANKS A LOT!

Thank you so much, this video was super useful to me

Thanks a ton for the video bud! I downloaded it and was going nuts with it! Very nicely explained. Cheers!

thank you for this, Extremely helpful!!!!

Thanks!

thank you man

Thanks man no bullshit straight to the point I appreciate it!

Great. Tnx a lot.

It is very useful. I needed this tutorial very bad. Thank you, man.

Very helpful. Thank you.

For those who struggle with two note in same beat. Press "shift" when you enter the note. Like "Shift + B". 6:25

Thanks bro !

OMG THANKS SO MUCH. So helpful! *Applause*. I've passed your vid along!

Great video man! I'm an advocate for the 2nd way of writing drums as my brain is just wired to read it easier ha

ty man : D

Thank you thank you thank you. You are right this is very simple once I got past about 10 of your steps. You got me way farther than I would on my own Thanks again.

Thank you so much! The internet was not at all descriptive! :)

tq helpful......

Thanks Bro

Thanks

Thanks for the video! I would have struggled for hours until I figured out the shift key to be able to add more drums to the same beat!

Thanks a lot! That's what I was searching for. Now I can use the "Drum 3 style". The only trouble is that Musescore writes accents under the notes in this style. Can't make to write it over the notes.

Thank you

This was excellent. Ive been trying to learn musescore to transcribe some classic rock song music video drum parts and musescore is a little frustrating at first especially when trying to enter sixteenth note snare hits with quarter note bass. I didnt know that [shift] allows multiple drums on the same beat. I subscribed. Looking forward to more drum/musescore tutorials. Thanks a bunch!

just wondering how do you add a crash cymbal to the measure? great video as usuall keep up the good work

This is really good. All notes in this example are on the eighth note grid. I assume complexity would increase with adding faster note values in the voices ie., sixteenth notes in the kick or snare voices. Hey wait, that would be a really good video! 😀

nice vid man ..... i understand the mechanics..... thank you . Can you make an electric guitar and how do we wright power cords ?. Thanks :).

Very helpful - though I'd also like something for general percussion - not just a drum kit. I think Musescore uses similar notation for other percussion instruments - though some are only on one line. Also some odd things happen with Musescore if notes on 5 line staves are copied down to single or 3 line staves. I think MuseScore must have some "hidden" mechanisms - maybe treats many percussion instruments in the same way as drum kits.

Thank you for your video it was most succinct by far on KZfaq. However, I'm having trouble inputting notes on the same voice if one is faster than the other. ex) hi hat playing 16ths snare playing 32nd notes. If you could explain this I would really really appreciate it. Thank you for all the help.

Wondering how I would make 6 or 7 different 4 bar exercises on one page?

How do I incorporate the notation for open and closed hihat? I want to do it as a "o" a and "+" above the hihat cross-note. Thanks for the video!

Thanks for the tutorial. I couldn't get the kick and snare notes placed correctly. There must be a step I'm missing.

Hey Justin. Thank you very much for this video. I just came across this application recently and still getting my head wrapped around this. I am not a sheet music person. This is the first time I have come this close to sheet music. My problem is this: I have imported a midi and it has one set of lines. I would like to add a new set of lines below the existing set of lines and I am not able to do that. I can add measures but that crunches and makes the view smaller. Can someone please help me with that? Forgive my ignorance in the choice of words I used to explain my situation.

Excellent tutorial mate!!! have a question, can you import to musescore a drum midi file (ezdrummer) and convert that file in to a notation drum ? Thanks in advance.

Ok so I'm trying this out and it's putting the notes 2 leger lines below the single line. How do I change it?

how do you add beams? mine just don't have any beams and I can't figure out how to add them

So useful!... can I ask, is it possible to assign additional letter-shortcuts to, say, the ride bell? thx heaps

Hi. What about brushes in Musescore?

Anybody knows how to add drums on an existing musescore file so it plays with playback without having to write down actual notes for drums. Something more then just pressing the metronome button

Very helpful! Is there a way to add some alternating velocity to the hi-hats? That would be really nice

I tried the program and it would not allow me to put a bass drum right after a snare with 8th notes.

i set B for bass drum but it plays a b sound on keyboard. A is set for snare but an A keyboard sound comes out. what do I do. I have selected drum set, drum clef but do not get drum sounds. Hmmmm? I'm very new to musescore but need to learn this drum stuff for a project

how do you write rim shots in musescore?

Is there a way to add separate line for a double bass, e.i. bass #1 & bass #2? I am trying to write 1/16 double bass rhythms. Thanks

How are you doing your video setup? Very cool I see VLC Media player as a Picture in Picture. OBS?

How can i wrote ghost notes on snare drum?

Isn't there a way to paste one measure into all selected measures at once, like you select and dragging in Excel to fill the cells? Do we really have to press ctrl+V (the number of measures) times?

how can we insert letters under notes: L R R L ?

hi, what about more advanced drum notation? Is musescore good for adding ghost notes, flams, drags, meter changes, odd groupings, sticking notation? I would appreciate your insight about this. Im an old finale user but im tired of its bugs and the learning curve is wider. thanks!

Hey, do you tried writing linear drum parts in MuseScore 3 (or 4?)

I'm running MuseScore 3.6.2, newest version I can run, and I can't find Drumset notation. Any tips? Thanks.

Dear Demonic, you were of great help, thank you so much dear........one more thing if I have to write R L how should I insert alphabets ....Thanks once again.

Can you show the flam ang grace notes please..thank you

why my drum score had no sound ?

How do you get the other drums? Up and down arrows?

How to write ghost notes on the snare drum for example?

Arigato

I don’t seem to have an “unpitched percussion” option in my choose instrument panel. Anyone have a solution?

hi, how can i make the single misure large as the page?

hey. how about making video of setting ubuntu 16,18 upon macbook 2 from 2007? for all starving boys?

How do I add a shortcut for a note ? Like I want to play the ride bell but can't add a shortcut key to it .

I'm kind of struggling with how to add in stickings to stare solos and exercises.

its ok ive sussed it ;-)

I couldn't figure out how to place one drum note on the staff until I saw this video. I might keep Musescore after all. Next problem - How to do dotted eighth notes? I already added 4 bars of eights on the hihat. Now I select the eighth note and the dot. The blue rectangle is on the first eightnote of the first measure. When I press shift-b for bass drum it keeps changing it from a dotted eighth to a regular eighth note! If just press b (no shift) it correctly adds a dotted eighth bass drum beat but I lose the first hihat eighth note.

when i key snare hihat disappear. i press A them Hihat gone sanare added. how can i fix it ? // sorry for poor English

how do i put base between two hi hat?

漂亮

So I just started to use this software from drum notation today after years of writing by hand! It really is this easy. However, here's a few things to keep in mind : This is still made with orchestral arrangers so there are a lot of things you'll likely won't need (congas, whatever) while some specifics (open/close hi-hat and ghost notes, most notably) aren't here. However, the solution for this is to create new symbols under the "edit drumset" section. For the ghost note, use "electric snare" (no idea why it's there but OK), change the note head type to "void x" and rename it "Acoustic snare ghost". Don't forget to save! For the closed/open hi-hat, it appears the simplest way would be to create a + and a o head for the notes, but certainly there are people who figured out how to add it properly. Finally, the most annoying thing happen when you mix up 8th and 16th to create syncopated patterns *and* you change the symbol : let's say you input 8th, 8th, 16th on the hihat or ride line, it will work fine but it you switch to let's say ghost snare for the 16th note, it will place it to the *left* of the last 8th note, which is incredibly annoying. The best way I found is to write all the cymbal and ghost note pattern on one voice (ride or hi-hat) and to then correct hi-hat/ride symbols individually where you want your ghost notes, which are usually in-between. Dunno how professional drumset writers do it tho!

this doesn't work. Whenever I'm writing swing and want to put a snare beat, it gets rid of the ride cymbal

ok. you have students and your name is demonic sweaters lmao

Thanks!
