DT1 VDrums Tutor Software: Play Along with Onboard Patterns and Songs

It appears there are a number of others on here using MuseScore in conjunction with Roland's Drum Tutor electronic drum software. I thought it would be beneficial to create a single thread where we can document tips, tricks, issues, and experiences related to using these two pieces of software together.

For those of you not familiar with Drum Tutor, it is a piece of software from Roland that provides feedback to the drummer to make sure one is playing the right note(s) at the right time. More specifically, it is comparing the drummer's pad triggering to a MIDI file that the software is playing. Correctly played notes get a blue circle around them, early/late/extra/incorrect notes get a red "X", and missed notes remain unmarked. There is also "game" mode with falling colored blocks (like in "Guitar Hero" or "Rock Band"), but if you're using MuseScore, then you're probably playing in notation mode. One of the nicest features of the Roland software (in my opinion) is the ability to open MIDI files other than the ones included and get the same feedback functionality from the software with those files.

*To avoid stepping on any copyright toes, it would probably be best to keep any modified copies or excerpts to yourself for your own personal practice, as the original MIDI files are copyrighted by Roland. Although, they'd probably be more concerned with someone making money off pirated or reverse-engineered copies of the software than someone trying to sell MIDI files.

No, I didn't have tot do some like that.Just save as a midi file, open het in drumtutor and the tempo could be changed with Drumtutor which wasn't possible with midi files made in older versions of musescore.

Hi, sorry, I'm new to drumming and Musescore, my son has started lessons and uses the Trinity Rock and Pop exam books. We have a Roland electric drum kit and the VDrum tutor software. Are the songs from the books available to download as a midi file anywhere please? It would be great to work through the books but use Vdrum tutor too to practice. Thank you. 2ff7e9595c
