Derek Lee from Beatnote APP popped in to chat with Matt about his very successful app used by many drummers and drum teachers alike.
Derek was also behind Benny Greb's Gap Click App and has a wealth of experience developing apps, drums and all that good stuff.
Based In Tokyo but originally from Boston, MA. USA Derek has developed an app that really helps drummers learn beats, notation, rudiments and enables teachers and students to share their lessons and project electronically or by printed sheets.
Derek and his team. will be at The UK Drum Show 24th and 25th October 2026 at the LEX Liverpool Royal Albert Dock. (The NEW NAME for the ACC Liverpool and in the same place as always, so don't panic)
Pop upstairs on the escalator on on the way to the Main Stage, Mike Dolbear Room or Mike Johnston Education room and you will see BEATNOTE right in front of you as you step off the escalator.
Check the Youtube video to fully appreciate the visual demo of the app https://youtu.be/fb6sKZesrKQ
