Beatfall — the notes fall to the line, each drum on its own lane, every hit judged on time, early or late.

Or read the notation — the same part written out, with a playhead you play to.

Hear the song and your Roland TD-17 together

Over USB: the Roland TD-17 module can play your computer's sound. Choose it as the computer's sound output, plug your headphones into the module, and you hear the song and your kit together through one cable.
Over Bluetooth: pair the computer (or phone) with the Roland TD-17 module and choose it as the sound output. Bluetooth adds a little delay — run Calibrate by tapping once in DRUMY's menu and the notes line up with what you hear.
With a cable: run a 3.5 mm cable from the computer's headphone socket into the module's Aux / Mix In, and wear your headphones on the module. No delay at all.

Roland TD-17 with DRUMY: questions

Does the Roland TD-17 work with DRUMY?

Yes. The Roland TD-17 sends MIDI over USB, which DRUMY reads straight away in Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Opera on a Mac or PC — nothing to install.

Which cable do I need for the Roland TD-17?

The USB cable that connects the module to a computer (it carries MIDI). Some cables only charge — if nothing happens, try another.

Why can't I hear my Roland TD-17 and the song together?

DRUMY plays the song from the computer; your kit makes its own sound in the module. Put both in one pair of headphones with USB audio, with Bluetooth, or with a cable into the module's Aux In.

My Roland TD-17 pads land on the wrong drum. How do I fix it?

Open Setup drums in DRUMY and hit the pad: it takes the drum you choose. Rim and cross-stick hits can be set to the snare if your snare has one zone.
