Over a decade ago we released
Dtab (Drum
Tab Editor) software, over that time
the package and Drum Tab in general have enjoyed great success, which is fantastic. However, not
all drummers are comfortable reading drum tabs, some drummers prefer a
sheet music presentation.
Adding
Sheet Music support to Dtab, has been an internal goal since the
very first versions of Dtab way back in 1999. Even
though there wasn't much interest in the idea then, but it's been quietly growing. Adding
the feature today though, means rewriting Dtab and potentially forcing sheet music on
some drummers. So we've decided to build an external conversion program
called DtabPrinter, which will convert Dtab Drum Tabs into
Sheet Music. Give drummers the best of both worlds.

Hopefully from the video, you can see the Dtab Printer is designed as a Drum Tab
rendering tool, rather than an editing tool. So the software simply
loads your Dtab files, then renders them out as a series of Sheet Music
pictures. These can printed, posted online, whatever you like.
