Creating percussion kit

• Jun 1, 2025 - 20:28

Hey y'all!

I'd like to make "percussion kits", consisting of the instruments that part uses. A concrete example is quad toms/concert toms, which i'd like to be an instrument in itself, not just a modified drum kit. This is because the part switches from concert toms to drum set, and therefore i can't change the drum set itself.
Is this possible, and if, how?

Hope it makes sense, else i'm happy to clarify anything unclear :)

If the instruments (sounds) you need exist in MuseScore (basic or Muse Sounds) you can edit a standard percussion kit and included or delete the sounds you want in the new Kit. In this way you can customize your percussion Kit. You must save your changes under .drm in ../MseScore/Styles. Later, every time you want to use your kit, you must load it from the Percussion panel.
If you look at the information in the handbook, you can find all the details to build up your kit
