Awesome drummer!!!!!

It's very close to having a real drummer! The feel of the groove is like having John Bonham over for a session. Easy to jam along with. The iPad interface is a nice break from using my computer. Many of the samples offer round robin playback. And this brings up my only complaint: I do wish all the samples were round robin. On my computer drum machines they are all round robin, perhaps it was done this way since iPads have less storage. I feel guilty complaining at all given the ridiculously low price and I really can't overstate how great the drum beats feel when I play guitar along with it. The randomized fills and variations in the beats (which is adjustable) are a huge timesaver. I have a ton of other drum programs, however they have all required extra programming to make them feel more human. The sound quality is exactly how I would have recorded it my self and sits well in the mix. The room sound is great, still sometimes I just want it to be a bit drier. So I apply a transient designer to reduce the room sound and it sounds perfect. Love standing and using my fingers instead of my mouse or trackpad. I also purchased soft drummer and funk drummer (they are both amazing!!!). They are all so good that part me wants to skip the review:)

Almost just works by itself.

I've been using this and a couple other Luis Martinez apps for a couple years now. My most recent buy was MidEast Drummer and I've already used it in a song. It's so easy to get a beat going that inspires you to play. I pick up my guitar or my bass and just start jamming along. Sometimes I have a specific riff and I have to alter the beat to what I need and that's easy enough. In fact setting up an entire song is a breeze. With all the apps Ableton Link enabled I can even have them all playing different parts in perfect time together.One problem I have with many drum machines is that tapping in fills can be a real pain. Adding ghost notes and minor changes so that the beat sounds natural are also usually advanced stuff in other drum machines. All that is easy stuff with a simple slider. Tell it how complex you want it and it comes up with stuff on its own. It's amazing.If you need a drummer and you don't have a real one available, these are easy to use, great sounding, and natural sounding apps. Only drummers will be able to tell it's not a real drummer... and even then, maybe not.

I was looking for a simple drum app that I could use as an elevated metronome for practicing guitar. A few other apps that I tried (free versions) were just “ok”. They did the job, but were uninspiring. I stumbled upon this app and based on the reviews tried out the free version. All of a sudden, I had real sounding drums with realistic feel, a selection of time signatures and genres of music! I upgraded to the premium version to have it all. I haven’t even delved into the song creation, but this thing can do all that, if you wanted to try out some quick jams that sound incredible. I use superior drummer and Logic Pro for writing and recording. Too much of a pain to “whip out for practice “, but this app is great for that for what I need it for. I recommend this for anyone who needs a great sounding, on the fly drummer for gigs or just to hunker down and practice.

Great for composing!

Do you ever get a new idea and want to create it, before you forget it? This app is for you.But, it’s much more than that. It’s a full drum machine and the variety of kits and affects is incredible.By far, my most common use for this app, is to record new ideas and even complete songs. I’m a guitarist, bassist and play keyboards. My studio is jam-packed with guitars, basses, keyboards, effects, amps, mixers, computers, etc. Needless to say, I don’t have the room for a drum kit. Even if I did, I could never have every type of kit I needed. So far, with this app, I haven’t found myself in a position of not having the right kit or sound.When inspiration strikes, the app is always ready to provide the drums. I think I’m also ready to purchase the bass app, and automate my composing even more. Guitar is my main instrument, it’s what I’m best at and that’s where I want to focus my effort.
