I use them with Cubasis, with one midi track sending data to Drum Session, and a second audio track receiving the Inter-App Audio. I wish there was slightly less reverb on the kits, but otherwise they’re fantastic! ### 3/5 — It sounds pretty good but… *2023-09-17, version 1.2.22* Despite it sounds pretty good but I’d like to edit the samples, it would be so powerful, and more important… Please add the AUv. ### 2/5 — Good but… *2022-05-29, version 1.2.22* It seems pretty usable and it’s clear a lot of work has gone into it, but virtually every drum sound is reverbed (if there’s a way to turn it off I haven’t found it and, going by the chatter online, neither has anyone else). That alone means I never use it. I’ve deleted it off my iPad. ### 4/5 — Rythme assigne sur pad *2020-04-14, version 1.2.15* Bonjour, Très bonnes applications avec des rythmique acoustiques complète c’est ce que je voulais, félicitations 😊🙏🏼 Il manque juste la possibilité d’assigner les rythmes crée sur les pads ### 3/5 — bugs bugs and bugs. *2020-04-13* This app have bugs, I don’t like that, hope to fix it. The sound is good, im trying to use this with AUM but sometimes it don’t works properly. If these bugs are fixed i will rate this app better because the idea is good. ### 4/5 — Sounds great but...... *2020-04-09* I really like the interface, sound quality, and versatility of this app. It’s the closest thing to superior drummer or ez drummer on iOS, but on my iPad Pro the pads and keys don’t work. Plugging in a midi controller works just fine, but the on screen pads and keys don’t function. On my 6th gen iPad and on my iPhone everything works perfectly, just not on my iPad Pro 12.9” 3rd gen. If they can fix this problem then this app will be absolutely perfect. ### 3/5 — Needs improvement *2020-01-10* I like this app but it’s full of bugs which are not being fixed. I tried contacting support but they weren’t much help. If you need to make changes on a piano roll, export your drum track to another midi program to do so. This one will just crash on you. Save your work regularly because when it crashes you lose it. Pretty annoying when you just spent an hour working on a beat. Please remove the reverb from the drums. I can add effects later if need be. Even better add a separate reverb effect control for each kit. ### 3/5 — Ballad patterns 4/4 *2019-08-12, version 1.2.13* Hi. It is an good App. Very good Support What i am Looking for Are Ballad patterns in 4/4. You promised that To me ### 5/5 — A fine drum app, packed with many loops *2019-05-06, version 1.2.12* Good sound, many many preset loops (without in-app purchase), and capability to record on top of them to create fills easily. ### 5/5 — The best! *2019-05-05* I have a bunch of drum apps and I keep going back to this for the quality of sounds and ease of use. So many. Loops and drum sets to choose from. Plus they are constantly updating it. Great job guys!!! ### 4/5 — Almost perfect! *2019-05-02, version 1.2.11* Please fix the crash cymbals stem export problem and add a secure email support address. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — no stars but millions of bugs and glithces crashes *2024-08-03* didn't even bother to write anything in description read the title save your hard earned bucks mate. im not even sure if I'll get the refund. wouldn't even use it for free. im sorry but these are facts. abondoned little app. sigh! I’m sorry, this app has become a thing that nobody wants to be a part with. Such potential! This is just sad to see once such promising phenomenon to get lost and defeated! Whatever! Nothing is permanent in this world. It’s alright. This app is not your life dear dev. You have a lot more important things in your plate than this app. ### 1/5 — no stars but millions of bugs and glithces crashes *2024-08-01* didn't even bother to write anything in description read the title save your hard earned bucks mate. im not even sure if I'll get the refund. wouldn't even use it for free. im sorry but these are facts. abondoned little app. sigh! I’m sorry, this app has become a thing that nobody wants to be a part with. ### 1/5 — no stars but millions of bugs and glithces crashes *2024-05-21* didn't even bother to write anything in description read the title save your hard earned bucks mate. im not even sure if I'll get the refund. wouldn't even use it for free. im sorry but these are facts. abondoned little app. sigh! ### 1/5 — Overdone reverb effects are not optional *2023-02-04* I just bought this, and realize the thick reverb on every drum kit is baked in. The sound is artificial an awful. I wish I had known. ### 1/5 — Really? *2021-06-08* This app shuts down the entire audio and midi system when you use prearranged loops and try to record in AUM. You just put out an update. You can’t tell me the developer doesn’t know these issues. You going to fix it? Or can I have my money back. ### 1/5 — Not for the recording drummer *2020-09-15* I connected by Roland TD-25. Couldn’t get my hi Tom to quit being a crash cymbal. Use this as a drum machine/looper. Do NOT use to record actual drumming. ### 1/5 — Not a good sign *2020-06-02, version 1.2.15* Sounds good, workflow is not bad, still need to work some things out. Complete crash and all work lost within first run of 5 minutes on my iPad 7th Gen. After further use this app has revealed itself to be a buggy piece of garbage. Between crashes losing work and the glitchy edit screen getting stuck half off the page this app is just a waste of time. ### 1/5 — not the best *2018-03-30, version 1.2.5* really complicated to use and does not allow you to make your own beat you can only edit beats if you have not bought this yet get garage band it’s simpler to use i would like my money back ### 1/5 — I hope this gets fleshed out by the devs. *2016-12-03* Great idea, poor execution. It's very buggy, crashes on startup, is impossible to edit, and, honestly, doesn't look very good. A lot of buttons are hard to see and blend into the faux marble graphic. For 25$ I was hoping for stability at the very least. The kits are flat and to me the biggest difference between them all is reverb. The editor is almost pointless. It's not easy to read the effect on the piano roll and the select feature is primitive. Sometimes the sounds I've dropped in stop working. Sometimes I can't do anything at all to what I'm working on anymore. This is where it crashes on me EVERY SINGLE TIME I'VE USED IT. The ease of dropping patterns into the timeline is fantastic. It's easy to loop and set tempos; really, once this things gets going it's going to be a beast. It just doesn't feel done yet. I know it's early in the lifecycle of Drum Session, and I do hope all of these things will be addressed in future updates, but as of now, for the price? Ah, well...they can't all be zingers. EDIT:since update I've had it crash and shut down three times in less than an hour messing with it. Too bad. EDIT 2: EDIT keys crashes app. Still crashes from piano roll. Deleted. ### 2/5 — Now abandonware )-: *2022-11-26, version 1.2.22* The quality here is excellent, and the app is easy to use. But the devs have now abandoned the app and will not even be updating for new hardware. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — One of the best yet, cheapest drum app *2022-10-29, version 1.2.22* Fun but with amazing quality. ### 5/5 — Auv3 *2022-09-02, version 1.2.22* Please, add auv3 !!! ))) You is very nice!!!)) ### 5/5 — Still my Top Favorite! Would really love Real-time Multi Out *2022-05-23* It still is my top favorite app and if it had real time multi out it would be the ultimate! This way you can have it send out each audio stem in real time to each track in Cubasis. I’m using it with Alesis Nitro Mesh drumkit to trigger the kits on the iPad and it works! Love it! I highly recommend this app! MM4C ### 5/5 — FINALLY!!!! A Beatmaking App I Can Use!! *2021-06-02* Hands down the best beat making app I have ever used. Other than the ease and use of GarageBand loops, Drum Session app is the easiest to use and have the best sounding drums I’ve ever heard! Now with GarageBand as my DAW and Drum Session for the drums, I am finally ready to record by songs. THANK YOU SO MUCH DRUM SESSION. ### 5/5 — Greatest iOS drumapp 🌟🌟🌟🌟✌️ *2021-03-10* I have used this app for years and absolutely love it! Haven’t had any issues until very recently. Fortunately the latest update has fixed that again. Thanks to great and quick developer support! 🙏 Loving the variety of metal drumpatterns, great sounding drumkits, and ability to insert tempo changes, edit or customize patterns, cloud sharing... Some amazing stuff that i miss from a lot of other drumapps that i own. This is by far my favorite! Super grateful that my favorite drumapp got fixed! Awesome job guys! I highly recommend this app, especially if you are a metal guitar player looking for grapeat rock or metal drumtracks! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 ### 5/5 — Session Drummer to hire? *2020-06-03, version 1.2.16* No, not today and not for me! ))) Today I have Drum Session app and it covers all my needs to get the awesome drums on my music! ### 5/5 — Great app, great support *2020-05-11, version 1.2.15* I had some trouble assigning the midi sounds to my drumkit pads and contacted the support. Not one hour later I had my problem solved thanks to the attention I got. Great support. The app is excellent , great sounds and works well. Definitely recommend it. ### 5/5 — The only drum app you need, period. *2019-10-11* Does everything, if you need it to do more just get superior drummer and use your computer. But for an app, it is perfect, does everything, very easy to be creative with. Most other apps limit how detailed you can get, but this lets you change so many aspects of the drums and patters that it is truly useful for songwriters. Thanks for making this! ### 5/5 — Good (Update: now GREAT!) *2019-09-30* Sorry for the delayed update on my 3 star review, but now I’m willing to call it a 5 star app since velocity sensitivity has been added. I experienced a crash so far but I’m feeling fairly confident with this developer and that they will continue working out bugs. **Developer response:** thank you for the suggestion. we have implemented this feature in the latest version. ### 5/5 — Great drum app *2019-08-04, version 1.2.12* This app awesome like fact I can use my Qy70 with it Aswell brilliant app --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
