A tool for bands, by a drummer
Version
Every band has had the same moment — "let's run the bridge" and suddenly half the room disagrees on what the bridge even is.
BandMap is the fix. Grab a tablet or phone, listen to the track, sketch your song structure in a few minutes, add notes for each player on each section, upload resources, share it and tweak it during rehearsals. That's it. No complex charts, no score, no whiteboard.
It's a single HTML file — free, no account, no cloud. Just email it around or drop it in a shared folder.
Work in progress, rough around the edges, built by a drummer who got tired of the confusion. If it helps, or if something's broken — I'd love to know.
