"The lifelike playback of Virtual Drumline helps our students prepare music like never before. Now they can hear balance and interpretation as well as develop an understanding of their musical role. VDL has been an invaluable educational tool.”

"Virtual Drumline is a must for all percussion writers and arrangers. The authentic sounds allow me to hear what I've composed before I teach it and that has changed the way I write. Now, I am not afraid to try new ways of orchestrating for the drumline."

Tom Aungst
Percussion arranger - The Cadets

"Virtual Drumline has saved me so much time. The software allows me to hear an accurate realization of my work as I compose and orchestrate. Thank you, I've waited years for a tool like this!"

“The addition of Virtual Drumline software to the Cavaliers’ design process has revolutionized our ability to assess and edit the musical score long before the drill is written. I can’t imagine producing a show without it now.”
Scott Koter - Program coordinator

"Whether it is in live performance or composing, Virtual Drumline is definitely the best marching percussion library available."

Kit Chatham
Drummer/Percussionist for Cirque du Soleil's Corteo

"Virtual Drumline has become an indispensable tool for our marching band program. We combine the percussion and wind scores and provide our auxiliaries with realistic sound files from which they can create their work and rehearse that work as well. The band learns its drill using those same sound files, and we have integrated VDL into our percussion web page making sound files of all of our materials available for our current students and recruits. Talk about a great recruiting tool! The Million Dollar Band thinks VDL is worth a million, and a lot more!"

Neal Flum
Associate Director of Athletic Bands
University of Alabama

"In conjunction with my notation software, Virtual Drumline saves me valuable time by giving me the most realistic playback performance of marching percussion instruments ever offered. No more guessing as to how certain musical passages are going to sound...and since I spend a lot of my time on tour away from my home studio, VDL has proven to be an invaluable recording tool in that it also works as a plug-in in my portable Pro Tools studio set up...I never leave home without it"

Paul Alexander Gonzalez
Drummer for Paulina Rubio

"Virtual Drumline has completely revolutionized my compositions and arrangements. I use VDL in most of my projects for film and media and all of my work for marching band, winter guard, and winter drumline. Virtual Drumline is an absolute steal for the price, and the adjustments in the 2.5 update has definitely sped up my writing time! You won't find a more complete package on the market for the educational idiom."

"VDL has completely changed the way we write - for the better. It is one of the greatest tools available for today’s percussion arrangers. Many thanks to Tapspace for creating such a great product!"

Scott Johnson
Director of percussion - Concord Blue Devils

"As percussion designers/composers for the Bluecoats, hearing the charts with Virtual Drumline brings a real time/real world quality to the orchestration process. This allows us to make compositional, pacing, color, and textural decisions before the members even hear the music. VDL makes our job MUCH easier! Thank you Tapspace for such a great product!"

Mike McIntosh and Tom Rarick
Percussion designers - The Bluecoats

"I just wanted to thank you so much for the program. [...] I had no idea how invaluable this program would become to me and my activities. I want to congratulate you on what is without a doubt the finest, most user friendly, extremely realistic percussion playback program ever created. I worked without VDL in the past and now I cannot imagine ever working without it in the future. You have created a product that helps someone realize their creative ideas while also inspiring them to higher and higher levels. Thank you, thank you, thank you..."

"Virtual Drumline gives me the ability to hear extremely realistic playback of my writing. Whether I am arranging for drum corps/marching band or with my original compositions, I have virtually EVERY percussion sound at my fingertips - an invaluable tool to say the least! Thanks to the folks at Tapspace for putting together such a comprehensive and easy-to-use library!"

Jeff Queen
Original cast member for the Tony award winning Broadway show Blast!

"Using Virtual Drumline 2.5, I'm able to stop using much of my bulky rack-mounted hardware, which makes for a much better portable solution. Virtual Drumline, along with Sibelius, has changed the way that I write for the better. VDL 2.5 also runs great in sequencer's such as Digital Performer, allowing me to access many incredible percussion sounds for projects that go beyond the marching world. Thanks to the guys at Tapspace for their hard work!"
