What's New in DP8

1.2

March 24, 2026

Added Playalong Mode for playing with streaming music apps. Added Legacy Mode for the classic low-latency local playback experience. Improved drum trigger response and reduced latency. Fixed issues where drum sounds could fail after app launch, after ads, after returning from background, or after switching modes. Improved mode switching so you can easily change between Playalong and Legacy from the music options. If you prefer the original feel, switch to Legacy Mode. If you want to play along with streaming music, use Playalong Mode.

Love that the dev responds to feedback!

EDIT: Fixed! The dev responded to my review and released a new version that fixes the latency issue! I downloaded again and am stoked this app is back!

OLD REVIEW: I loved this app for years but a recent update seems to have increased latency to the point it’s no longer playable or usable. If the dev is reading this — I’d pay money for this app if it were fixed!

Response from developer

Hello Nate~ Thank you for being with Drum Pad 8 for so many years, and thank you for taking the time to share this feedback. You were right that the recent update increased latency for some longtime users. In version 1.2, we added a new Legacy mode to bring back the lower-latency local playback experience. If you’re willing to give it another try, please update to 1.2 and switch to Legacy mode from the music options menu. We’d really appreciate it, and thank you again for helping us improve the app.

Very Coolest App Of The Year!

This app is so FIRE! That app has original drum sounds because it’s full of coolest sounds like Rock, Pop, and the soft kit of the year - Jazz. I like this!
