breaking down a drum kit editor

• Oct 9, 2024 - 15:29

Here is a drum-kit chart from Wikipedia:
drum_kit_03.jpg
and here is what MuseScore gives us when we write anything for a drum kit:
drum_kit_04.jpg
Can anyone please break it down for me, showing which of these different notes correspond to which part of the drum kit on the chart?

I do not know if I have understand your request correctly, but anyway when You open the Drumset and try to enter a note by pressing at any note i.e. B, You get the corresponding sound and the name of the instrument it plays. I have check the list of the instruments You would like to have and I have realized that the instruments number 4. and 8. are not contained in the actual drum-kit of MuseScore 4.4.2 (which is the one I am using). In the actual drum-kit the following instruments can be used:
B - (1) -> Bass Drum
A - (3) -> Snare Drum
(2) -> Floor Tom
G - (5) -> Hit-Hut (closed)
C - (6) -> Crash Cymbal
D - (7) -> Ride Cymbal
(9) -> China Cymbal
Your number 4 (Rack Tom) and 8 (Splash Cymbal) seem not to be included.
I have created a reduced Drum-Kit with the instruments of your list which are available, in case it helps You. I attached de .drm file. You should copy this file under ../MuseScore(X)/Styles and load it when you try to create a score with this instruments. Of course you can also use the original drum-kit delivered by MuseScore and just choose the instruments you want to have.
