...has no limits. I have all but three of his drum apps and I'll likely buy two of them soon. The EDM one just doesn't fit what I'm doing. But I'm sure it's as ingenious as this one.This app is packed with all kinds of things. Boat loads of samples, train loads of styles, truckloads of options.You can jam along with the app and it will automatically add fills where you want them. You can create and save rhythms. You can string several different rhythms together to make a song and tell it where to put in fills. You can do odd time signatures. You can do straight beats or really get it swinging for some Afro-Latin Texas shuffle, lol.Most importantly, even I can use this app with ease. I don't get along well with drum machines because they're a bit too time consuming and I'm just not a drummer. My programming sounds robotic and it takes me an hour and a half to sound that good. With this app (and the others this dev makes) it has enough of a drummers mind that I just have to get the basic pattern going then it'll take it to another level and it happens in minutes.It's worth every penny. Go ahead and tap "buy".

For the most part really decent, just some slight pet peeves

The app is really versatile a good 80% of the time and a lot of beats are easily achievable. One thing I noticed however, is the clear lack of cymbals and hi hats from the sound selection. Sometimes I want to make a cumbia song that requires there be an open high hat to be played in the off beat, but since theres no sound for that theres no way to recreate the sound. I know there’s a latin drummer option in the jazz/other drum apps but it makes no sense that you couldn’t just play this alongside the unique instruments found here instead of having to mix and match every time. Not to mention that the brazilian drum app has a drum kit itselfAside from this, and from some glitches where the song just doesn’t save properly and whole sections are left wiped with no way of fixing it etc. this app does its job pretty well, pretty good stuff.

This app is a very well done drum machine programmed with an enormous amount of rhythms including Batá, Dominican and Puerto Rican rhythms. Highly recommended. I'm a percussionist/drummer and I really like this app to study along with on my main percussive instruments or as a drum machine for practicing piano and bass. Personally though, I don't understand the use of the Puerto Rican flag on the app icon since a good 80% of the rhythms are actually Afro CUBAN. Bomba from Puerto Rico only has 4 presets and I don't even see a plena preset. Merengue and bachata on the other hand has a whole category. I appreciate the Puerto Rican contribution to hispanic American music as much as anyone but in this case if the overwhelming amount of presets on your app are Cuban then use that flag or use a neutral no flag icon.

I have quite a few of Luis’ drum apps and I am impressed with each and every one. This particular one has a fantastic array of sounds and patterns. I find the edit function on all his apps to be terrific and easy to use. The new half time and double time feature only adds to the brilliance and humanish quality of theseIncredible applications. Luis has really created percussive masterpieces (and don’t forget his bass app which links seamlessly to the drummers). Thank you, Luis!
