Best IOS Drum Machine

DrumComputer is the best iOS drum machine hands down still in ‘25. It has a wicked easy to use interface. Other drum machines are overly cumbersome, clunky and thus hard to use for me. My only wish is that a version could be ported to an iPhone.

Ok

Sounds engines are good.
Sequencer lacks:
- swing per track
- negative swing
- individual track micro shifts back or ahead in time
