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…

BEST BEAT MACHINE OUT THERE
I wouldn’t waste your time and galaxy credits on anything else if you’re looking for a straightforward linear sequencer that has enough options within enough parameters to make any fn around #bholebeats sound like serious #animalbeats … and if you’d rather it sound like playing a kit without elbows - all stiff and quantized like Bender Bending Rodriguez, then that’s in there too.
Arturia iSpark is pretty versatile as well, but it feels a lot more bulky and you can get similar results, but not as quickly in my experience. It kinda feels like they made their other drum apps obsolete with this.
plus - the fact that you can import your own audio samples for each slot should be a standard feature on all drumming apps, but since it’s not it makes this one that much better.
plus plus - if you don’t want to hassle with importing your own samples there are plenty included and the randomized generator is an endless supply of beat candy for your #babybeats.

Any chance we may see this on Mac?
Man, I love this machine! Love playing with it on iOS but keep jonesin for it when I’m making tunes on the Mac as well. Any chance we may we this on Intel Mac in the future? Couple of other Bram’s apps have snuck into the Mac store, hoping this might be next!
❤️but needs more
Pls add at least 32step sequences maybe 16 per page formatted option in a future update or as inter app purchase and this would make so many ppl happy
Glitches and randomization on the full kit only is basic here. most of the fun of these sequencing apps would be to have control over setting locking randomization parameters on each sound individually.. we’re in the 2020s now.. ive assumed most drum pattern programmers had most their fun expressing themselves exploring finer tunedness of their own idiosyncrasies. ive got this app assuming it’d be more fun here :(( expanding upon skimming through and setting different randomization states would be great please consider my request when u have the time

Great app!
Perhaps my most used drum machine on iOS simply because it doesn’t require additional midi apps to play and sync with the rest of my AUM set up.
Feature request: Please, if at all possible, under the pitch control, please show note designation (i.e. A, C, G, etc) corresponding to the pitch selected. This will save a lot of time with matching the drum to the harmony with other instruments instead of trying to do it all by ear.

Real nice
Very nice drum machine, easy to catch on and make some beats with. I use it with my guitar so I can try to make some good drum tracks with it, fun to fiddle around with when bored too.
without Bram , the ios would seem to getting lost in the void! The Best!
The best developer, the best patronizer, the best dedicated and most sincere and the best creative developer ever.
if you dont get these apps ( except gauss, i still dont know how to use this) the later you buy them the more youll regret my dear friend.
Bram Bos'creations would fasten your workflow you wont be able to imagine.
Respect!!!!!!!!

Had the original years ago
I had the original many years ago and I used it all the time. It’s there on some of the many Duran Duran records I engineered back in the nineties. I migrated from Roland drum machines and Hammerhead just worked for me. I’ve bought it because it made me smile back then and unlike everything else it didn’t stop working when Windows 2000 or XP or 7 came out and I even made it work on my Mac. Sure there was other stuff around trackers and the like ported from Atari and Amiga but this had such a gritty character and was superb for working out beats on a laptop on airplanes. I could go on to say the youth of today don’t know how spoiled they are but it would make me sound old and ungrateful. This software was just so simple and worked in the same way as the drum machines I grew up with. Roland DR55 TR606 TR909 etc. I’m buying it to start smiling again. I love that it’s AUv3 it will be fun to integrate it with Ableton and BitWig. It would be amazing if it spits out MIDI but I don’t really care what it does I just wanted to support the software author for making me smile all these years!

Integrity, Dignity, Passion and admiration for artists
I've been trying to make a list of the developers in iOS , the list would only include the most sophisticated and elegant, in addition uncompromising mind set.
Bram Bos, stays in that list at the very top
A friendly suggestion: If you're in doubt, don't buy his creations, by the time you'll be aware of those apps potential and remarkable performance, you'd only regret, regret, for not having these apps.
Definite Hall of Famer.

Believe the hype!
For some reason I was reluctant to get this. I went through a ton of drum apps and sequencers. A lot of them were very good, but I never really immediately clicked with a single one. This one was different, I immediately got to work! It’s really great and a lot of fun! Check it out! I guess it’s stood the rest of time for a reason.
