The little shark is back. After 25 years, the new Hammerhead is a fresh, mobile reinterpretation of the classic software drum computer that started it all.
Hammerhead is still simple, fun and playful. It still feels like a little 90s groovebox. Except this time it fits in your pocket, it integrates in your plugin ecosystem and comes with a lot more creative possibilities...
- Pick from dozens of classic sounds and loops, or import your own WAVs
- Use the built-in drum synth to design your own kicks, bobs, tocks and thwacks
- Runs standalone and as a state-of-the art AUv3 Audio Unit plugin (e.g. in Garageband)
- AU plugin supports individual outputs per channel, MIDI output and fullscreen modes
- Trigger sounds and patterns using MIDI (when hosted as an AU plugin)
- One-click compression and distortion, with several sound models
- Let the universe decide: random pattern generator, mutation, glitch and much more
- Easily create complex evolving polyrhythms
- Designed for creative fun: no menu diving or arcane expert settings. Just dive in and create

What's New in Hammerhead Rhythm Station
1.2.2
January 24, 2024
Bug fixed: changing names of tracks would sometimes crash with the on-screen keyboard.
A brilliant reimagining to a classic digital groovebox.
As with other bram bos apps, the focus here is on simplicity and immediacy. It’s easy to get something good going, and simple to add complexity and variation to your drum patterns. The fader ui for stuff like decay and pitch unlocks the ability to add variation in seconds. Brilliant!
I’m now using this as my go-to drum module for my iOS music making in AUM!
My only wish is that it responded to gate when being sequenced via external midi messages (thru Drambo + AUM), so I could easily adjust note / hit length. Or maybe I’m missing something…
