What SightKick does

Music notation

Every song is shown as standard drum notation, the same as a printed chart, so playing along is real sight-reading practice.

Thousands of songs

Search and download straight from the Enchor community library, all with drum charts. The charts aren't always perfect, but they're usually close enough.

Multi-stem mixer

When a song comes with separate tracks, set the level of each one (drums, bass, guitar, vocals) and mute the recorded drums to play along.

Drum-track separation

When a song is one mixed file, SightKick can split the recorded drums out into their own track so you can mute them. Apple Silicon and Windows.

Multiple difficulties

If a song has more than one drum chart, switch between difficulties from the side menu.

Playhead modes

Follow the song with a moving cursor, highlight just the current measure, or turn the playhead off. Click any measure to jump straight to it.

How to start playing

1 Setup

Set up your song library

Point SightKick at a local folder of songs. Don't have one yet? Download songs from inside the app, or download them manually from Enchor and drop them in.

2 Browse

Search for a song you want to play

Look through your local library, or press the globe icon to switch to online search and pull songs from Enchor straight into your folder. Favorite the ones you keep coming back to.

3 Play

Press play and jam along

The drum part renders as sheet music with a playhead that follows the song. Mute the recorded drums in the mixer and play over the top, click any measure to jump to it, and watch notes dim once they've gone by.

4 Isolate

Separate the drum track from a mixed recording

A lot of songs come as one mixed file. Download the stem splitter once (about 130 MB, Apple Silicon or Windows), then split any single-track song from its ⋮ menu. When it finishes, the drums and backing track are waiting in the mixer.

Colored by kit piece

Each note is colored by the part of the kit it belongs to, which makes passages easier to read. Within a color, a filled notehead is a drum hit and an × is a cymbal. On by default; turn it off in Settings.
