Create Drumr File

Upload MusicXML and MIDI files exported from Sibelius to create a Drumr (.drumr) file for playback in the Drumr app. Use our notation templates below to ensure proper note mapping.

The file creator and templates on this page are free. Opening imported scores in Drumr is included with Premium, so you can practice your own material with Drumr notation, audio, loops, Tempo Controls, and history.

Export uncompressed MusicXML and MIDI files from Sibelius 2025.10+.

Ensure both files have matching names (e.g., MyScore.musicxml and MyScore.mid).

Upload one pair at a time (1 MusicXML + 1 MIDI file).
