Leave a Review DrumStudio
Simple and very useful
If you are slow-witted like myself, you will find this app a breeze to use. It does all I want it to. You can really make some articulated beats of varying velocities, and swing the crap out of them to give it a more "human" feel. Build a song, section by section, then export the entire thing into an audio copy clip to paste into your daw for the drum part of your song. If I could ask for one thing (two actually), it would be the ability to load my own drum samples and to be able to load velocity matched samples for each level of velocity (soft sample for drags, medium for a normal hit, hard sample for accents), since drums don't just simply get louder the harder you hit them, but the sound alters significantly. They sort of "blossom" in tone.Show lessFramulox

5/5. Great for tabs and recording.Strangersbro
Great depth and easy to use
Not many great drum apps on ios: this one is superb. Build subtle touches into your usual beats to create spectacular grooves. Highly recommend.The Clocktoys
Horrible
45 seconds into app all drums start firing like machine guns. Crapp appMark Deckard
Love it
Ok, first off, I am no drummer. I mainly play guitar. Just wanted a drum machine, that was easy to set up and sounded good.
I play mostly christian praise and worship, some old classic rock, a wee bit of blues and jazz. And I have a ton of drum apps, guitar apps, synths, midi stuff, DAWs....A ton. I like to use them at home to play along with.
I love this app, it sounds great and is so easy to port drum tabs to. If there is no tab to find I can easily make my own. This, I can see is going to be a great "go to" app. I have many drum machine apps from DM1 to Drumjam, drumperfect, which I love too. Drumstudio was an instant winner for me, as one of the ones to get. It sounds great too. I hate paying for apps only to never use them. This one will be used.Show lessJohn-3:16
Excellent Update!
This is really one of the top apps in the store for creating a drum track. Fast, intuitive workflow, and a well thought out, clean interface. Good included samples, and MIDI capabilities to leverage other samples too. Odd time signatures, flexible grid for tuplets, articulations such as flams, drags, ghost hits. It's all in there! The new features like export MIDI directly to another app are very welcome too.
Just an all around great app.Show lessSuperNiCd

Swiss-Army Knife for Drum Tracks
I overlooked this app at first. There are some good drum machine apps in the App Store (DM1 is quite popular). But most of them are focused on non-acoustic drums and really require prior knowledge of drumming to program them usefully.
DrumStudio is great. So many options for creating and exporting drum tracks. You can record a pattern manually, or program on a grid. I love the variation in hit strength, flams, rolls, etc. Copies easily with AudioCopy/Paste or AudioBus.
The secret weapon of this thing is the ability to import a tab part for a song and generate a track from that. Works FAR better than you might expect, and is actually a cool learning tool to see how familiar drum parts are represented graphically.
Also love the small file size and it seems to be less of a resource hog than other drum apps. Nice work!Show lessHouseOfHomuth
Helping songwriting tool. Powerful features. A+ support.
I use this app to program drums to export into Auria via Audiobus or pasteboard. The interface is snappy enough for live recording, but I usually draw parts into the grid measure by measure. The sounds are passable--good enough for demos, sure, but I'm hoping to see other kits become available as the app grows.
Where DrumStudio really shines is the compositional flexibility. All my songs tend to have a least a few odd-meter phrases, if not complete sections. DS lets me insert these wherever I need them: a measure of 7|8 here, 5|4 there, etc. The layout takes some getting used to, but as someone who has put in the time to learn DS, I'm glad I did.
To top it all off, dev support has been bar none. I e-mailed the developer about an issue I was having with a file I had saved, and within the hour I got a personal response telling me how to work around it. Soon after that I got another personal e-mail telling me an update had been released to resolve the issue. I'm very pleased with this purchase.Show lessSplattergirl
