Browse the MeshBeat Drum Catalog

The MeshBeat song catalog is a free beta collection of browser-playable drum charts. Open a song, preview the chart, plug in your e-drums over USB if you have them, and start practicing without installing a desktop app.

What you can do on the catalog

Use the search box at the top of this page to find a song by title or artist. Results filter live as you type, sorted by play count so the most popular tracks surface first. You can also browse by difficulty — the catalog spans Beginner (1-3/10), Easy (4-5/10), Medium (6-7/10), Hard (8-9/10), and Expert (10/10) ratings, so whether you just picked up sticks or you are working on Vinnie Colaiuta-level chops, there is a tune that fits.

Each song page shows the drum part as a scrolling note highway with kick, snare, hi-hat, toms, and cymbals laid out in vertical lanes. As the song plays, notes travel down the highway in time with the music. Hit each pad as the note crosses the judgement line and MeshBeat scores your timing — Perfect, Good, or Miss — building combo streaks as you stay on the beat. The score persists locally so you can come back tomorrow and try to beat yesterday's run.

How the catalog is built

The tabs come from Guitar Pro files and automated parsing, then get filtered for playable drum material. Most charts include the full kit pattern, but the catalog is still a beta: some tracks may be incomplete, mismatched, or rough. BPM, bar count, and difficulty are computed from source data and should be treated as practice metadata, not a publishing guarantee.

New songs land from the import queue as we continue validating quality. The most useful feedback right now is whether a chart matches the song well enough for practice.

Why this is free

MeshBeat was built because every other "play your drums along to a song" app charges a monthly fee that feels excessive for hobbyists. We host the charts ourselves, render the gameplay in the browser, and use lightweight analytics with no cookies. There is no business model that requires gating tracks behind a paywall — the whole catalog is open, all the time.

During launch validation, public uploads and paid plans stay hidden. The current goal is simple: prove that the free lesson path and catalog beta create enough practice value to keep improving.
