Elastic Drums is a music app showcasing an interactive drum kit, that enables to create a huge range of rhythmic grids, ranging from classical analog drumkits up to experimental soundscapes.
It contains six channels of high quality synthesized drum sounds, a step sequencer and 4 effect channels. All important control parameters are automatable. The result: Elastic drum composition with a unique character!
Features:
- 6 synth channels with 13 different percussion synth engines (kick, snare, hihat, clap, tom, wobble, fm, fm4, square, grain, synth, drone, sampler)
- 12 parameters for each synth engine
- automation for each parameter via knob recording or velocity
- 4 send effect channels with 2x13 mono effects and 2x11 stereo effects
- automation for all of the 8 possible effect parameters via xy pad
- master effects (stutter, delay, compressor ...)
- 16 step sequencer for the 6 channels, each with it's own tempo multiplier & length
- record audio and export to Soundcloud or Audioshare
- email audio recordings and presets
- Audiobus, Audiobus Remote, Inter-App Audio and Ableton Link support
- Midi learn/Midi implementation of the most important parameters
Because all sounds get generated in realtime, the app is cpu heavy! iPhones 5 and greater can handle it with no problem, on iPhone 4s effects 3 and 4 get switched off by the engine automatically to save some cpu power. iPhone 4 and iPad1 are NOT recommended!
Elastic Drums is published by MoMinstruments, the instruments app label of Mouse on Mars and friends.

Was waiting for this update for so long so it would work again on my new iPad Pro as it was totally broken before. And the new design and everything is amazing, all the bugs were completely fixed and new stuff too!!!! So nice to have it be full screen on new iPads!!! So happy I can use this app again and that it got even better and better looking.

The only music app I seriously use
Elastic Drums is the not the only drum machine app I own, but it’s easily the best sounding one and the only music app I seriously use in the many I’ve purchased.
It’s super fun to use and the algorithms have many sweet spots with only a few parameters. Most other apps are either FM (challenging to work with) or wavetables, which in my opinion isn’t really synthesis. Elastic Drums sets itself apart in a world of boring and lame synth apps on iOS.
The synthesis sounds fantastic, I can’t believe I can get great sounding drums out of my phone/iPad.
If I had any feedback, it would be that having a bit more control of the synthesis would be nice, but if that means sacrificing sound quality, forget it. I love that I can share presets/beats across to my other devices using Airdrop so every device has everything and I can pick up whatever’s close and continue my tracks.
If you’re looking for a drum machine style app with great synthesis, buy it, you won’t regret it.
