Will the kit block the camera?

Mount the iPad above the hi-hat or on a boom so it has a clear view of your face.

Does loud volume affect anything?

No, detection is visual, not audio.

By instrument & situation

Drum charts for players with no spare limb

A pedal-based page turner assumes a spare foot. Behind a kit, there is no spare foot and no spare hand — which makes drummers the clearest case for camera gestures.

The only free input left

A held blink or a head shake is the only page-turn signal a drummer can send mid-groove without dropping time.

Chart layout for reading at speed

Two-page view and half-page scroll keep long forms visible so the turn lands at a rest rather than in the middle of a fill.

Set order that does not move

Setlists keep the night in order; with Pro the same order is on the bandleader's device too.

Try it on your own scores

Import PDF scores, add annotations, build setlists and turn pages hands-free. StageMate is available for Apple devices and Android. Features, cloud services and Pro purchases differ by platform; check the current plan before buying.
