So Good

YA!)

Gorgeous Fun Percussion

A beautiful app. An iPad music classic.
Still one of the best percussion apps in the app store.
Heaps of fun. Heaps of options.

Amazing - Best App Evaaaa!!!

I really love Drum Jam - it has excellent sounds and not only perfect in the mix with loops but the live pad is top notch too. It’s quite inspiring actually…

This is my fault for not checking before buying but it’s 2025…

Disappointed about the lack of auv3, assumed since your other apps have it this one would. I could really use this for my music there are great sounds/possibilities but as of right now it’s useless for my workflow

Amazingly creative and useful

I’m biased. I have enjoyed Pete Lockett’s lessons and music for quite some time! I like putting it on random mode and groove out for hours at a time… great to play along, learn konnokol a little snippet at time (Konnokol is an wonderful way of singing complex rhythmic patterns and phrases, developed in India from classical Hindustani and Carnatic styles)
The sheer volume (ba da bing) of exotic rhythms and rare instrument samples that can be triggered via MIDI/Bluetooth/touchpad is absolutely insane. Every musician should have this. 6 stars because the app has survived the jump from a ton of devices, still performs like a tank, ableton link, whatever you are doing… brilliant!1

Nice one

Very useful, sounds good. Glad i got it

I keep coming back to DrumJam

I have had this in my iPads over the years and I keep coming back to it. If you haven’t yet, please check it out. I have no affiliation with anyone there.

Best drum app I have

This is the best of all my drum apps, and the one I go to first, when I want to lay down a cool drum part for my backing tracks. Good sound quality, a cool interface, and lots of variations, make for a great drum machine experience.

Epic App!

Essential for budding and seasoned percussionists. Love this app. Had an issue restoring purchases, reached out to support and they resolved the issue. Thankyou for a great all round experience and creative tool .

Fabulous

A great practice tool. Excellent. Thanks for doing it

Still fantastic

I bough this app in 2016, and it’s aging ever so well… So many hidden gems in its programming that I’m still discovering, and that allow to stretch the sounds of the instruments (pitch shift with snap and free; choke decay; filters, just to name a few!). Have used it many thousands of times, in my own music, in community music session, with family and friends… Thank you Pete 🤩

OFF THE SCALE AWESOME

How did I miss this one? I have been buying a lot of apps for my iPads and some are amazing but this one is a work of pure genius. Try jamming with this over some Blocs Waves creations and you will never run out of new material. The sounds are extremely well recorded and the playing outstanding. Thank you for this. It has taken my drum tracks to a whole new level.

Pls add 3/4, 6/8 and quantise option

If 3/4, 6/8 rhythm beats and quantise options been added means it will be sounds great for all genres

Lot of value

Thank you Peter Lockett, for transferring your love and knowledge of world rhythms into such a great app!

Great fun app

This app is so much fun and limitless possibilities,it was a sleeper in my arsenal till I seen Doug review a more expensive complicated app and I went back and raised DrumJam back up wow I’m glad I did. Thank you

Patterns can’t be midi out, only the pads

Seems the patterns can’t be sent to midi. So that’s kind of useless. It’s nice that it sounds good. But I can’t send any of the patterns out. So I wasted a little time to make some cool kits that I thought I can general midi out but it seems not possible. I hope so proves me wrong.

Best drum app ever

I love this app!!!! Nothing like it! This app when synced with GarageBand is amazing….please keep updating and market hard to stay alive.

Gets the creative juices flowing!

I’ll start with the bad. Theirs an annoying delay that occurs when the app is synced with Ableton over wifi via link so using it in a live jam doesn’t work so well. I haven’t tried direct monitoring yet so might give that a try to see if it improves things however anything you record into Ableton will need to be manually adjusted to the grid.

Apart from that, I cannot fault the app. Sound quality is really good. Being able to position the instruments around the stereo field and front to back is a really nice touch! It allows you to audition instruments in a way which feels more natural than using pan and reverb. First play with the app, I laid down a percussion groove and was inspired into this great musical journey exploring different styles I normally wouldn’t have come up with. And loved it! I write underground electronic music mostly and had heaps or fun laying a fat wobbly bassline, trippy synth lines and pounding kick over top of the acoustic percussion loop. The percussion from this app kinda drove the mood which was a nice change from having to come up with something on my own. I eventually didn’t keep the percussion in the music because I had some new idea however it was pivotal in setting the mood for the session.

Theirs still lots I haven’t worked out with the app yet but so far, I would highly recommend it. Especially for solo musicians looking for some quality sounding percussions to layer music on.

Poor quality

Downloaded this thinking I was getting something that sounded good and would be “recording quality” as stated in so many of its reviews… Yeah not so much, quality not up to par with other programs, tried asking for a refund, but site says not an option.. Don’t wasted your money, not worth it…

Fun easy to use

I am really enjoying this app. Love it. Well done. Love Love Love this app. Well done. Yes i purchased the extra kits well worth it.
