As long as your sequencer lets you save as a standard MIDI file, just open that file in MuseScore.

do the individual drums have to be on separate tracks? are there any settings before i open the file in musescore?
thanks for the help!!!!

If it's a standard drum set, then all one track is best, MuseScore will use its default method of assigning the notes to lines & spaces and choosing noteheads and stem directions. You can then customize those choices with the "Edit Drumset" button. The settings to customize MIDI import all appear after the import. So just try it and see. As with any MIDI file - percussion or otherwise - quantizing in your sequencer software *before* importing is usually a good idea.

See the Handbook under "Drum notation" for instructions on how to edit drumset parts, including the drumset definition itself. If you need further help, please attach the specific score you are having problems with and describe in detail what you are trying to do.

I don't see any drum part. As far as I know, drum parts are supposed to use channel 10, or else programs won't know they are drum parts. But your MIDI file does not use that channel at all, so I don't think there is anythng to tell MuseScore to treat it as drums. Maybe I'm wrong and there is some other way that is supposed to work, but that's how it looks to me.

got it . now my problem is it keeps speeding up and slowing down. Almost there. hoorah! measures are not showing.

Can you dexcribe where you see it speeding up or slowing down? Just looking at it, it seems to have not been quanitized or recorded very accurately with respect to the tempo, so the note values are pretty erratic, but the actual tempo appears steady. Also, when you say "measures are not showing", what do you mean?

i think the best way is to send you a mp3 of what its suppose to sound like and a midi to compare
heres a link to the mp3
