He or she will reply that every inch of the table sounds differently. Some parts of the table will sound somewhat like a bass drum. Other parts of the table will sound more like a rimshot. Parts in-between will sound like a mixture of both. A drummer or a percussionist placed behind a wooden coffee table will soon discover many different sounds the table has to offer and use it to create stunning rhythms. Much to the joy of the drummer/percussionist, and possibly to the annoyance of the other people sitting at the table. The table metaphor has been used in the creation of Drums by Asrodot. Using the available space on the screen it has been made sure that every pixel sounds just a little bit different, which makes drumming on the iPad/iPhone come to life. Want to create drumrolls with subtle accents every third note? Now you can. This does not mean that Drums by Asrodot sounds like a coffee-table. The app comes loaded with six drum kits tailored for various styles of music. Features: - Expressive: Quick and responsive action. Every pixel sounds just a little different. Velocity sensitive; you can add dynamics by tapping harder or softer. - 6 Drum Kits: Cajón, Xylophone, Jazz, IDM, Drum&Bass 1 + 2. - Loop recorder: Record drumloops and export them to iTunes or AudioCopy. - Distortion: Increase gain to add a tube-like distortion that can dramatically change the sound. - Delay Module: With tweakable time, feedback and mix settings. - Customizable: Designed for both right-handed and left-handed drummers. - Inter-app audio support - Audiobus support: You can stream live audio directly to other Audiobus-compatible apps. See http://audiob.us for more information. - MIDI ## Key features - Expressive, velocity-sensitive drumming - Six diverse drum kits - Loop recorder with export - Distortion and delay effects - Customizable for left/right-handed users - Inter-app audio and Audiobus support ## Chart rankings - #169 in Top Paid · Music (US App Store) ## Recent user reviews (10 of 38) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/drums-by-asrodot/id587450219/reviews.md ### 5/5 — Oh my holy godly heavens! *2023-09-18* The creator of this unsurpassable app must be over 9000! Just go play this! Fool! ### 5/5 — Audiobus *2021-03-07, version 2.3* Thanks for keeping us updated! Au Support would be awesome. Otherwise great & fun app ### 5/5 — Works really good. I enjoyed playing *2021-01-21* I feel this app was well made even though its older it words pretty good. I felt no lag like with some of the other apps like this. I especially Like that you can record and layer the loops. I also like you can customize the effects of the sounds. You can export loops as well. Well done. ### 2/5 — OK but Cajon poor *2019-09-04, version 1.4* Got this for the Cajon feature but wish I could have heard sounds before buying as I really don’t feel they bear much resemblance to a real Cajon. It’s only £2.99 but I’d rather not have wasted it. ### 5/5 — A table-tapping treasure! *2017-01-12, version 1.4* It is a rare skill to make an app that appears to be simple, is genuinely easy to use and intuitive, yet still capable of excellent results. Drums is one such app; producing very human sounding rhythms and is highly recommended to fellow sonic dabbler's for when a real feel is paramount. A few more drum kits would be nice, but for the price it's a steal. Nic ### 4/5 — Please enable Background audio *2016-12-05* Absolutely fantastic app but i would also like to use it with midi while running in the background But currently the audio will be muted when the app is pushed to the background. It would be a five star app to me if that last missing feature would be added. Fingers crossed X ### 5/5 — Live Drumming *2016-10-13* If you are a finger drummer then this app will appeal to you. It is not just simple sample based triggers like a lot of drum pad type interfaces, but a sort of matrix of sounds so that every hit will sound a bit different. It is also velocity sensitive, giving more variation. It is not obvious where the different drums lay on the drum plane, but easy to figure out. If you are a good finger drummer you can stay consistent with the drums you want to hit with still having a bit of variation, and probably having some control over the variation too. However, some of us less adept drummers with finger drift will find we start hitting drums we didn’t intend. Overall though the interface gives a change to play some live sounding drums and percussion, not just machine sounding hits. ### 5/5 — Simply Brilliant! UPDATE *2016-06-12, version 1.3* Well done the developer. The easiest way to play or program computer drums I have ever tried and I have been programming drums right back to Cubase on the Commodore 64. Simply a breeze to do a shuffle with brushes. Definitely 6 Stars!! Well done after all your health problems it's even better than before!! ### 5/5 — Best playable drums app on the market *2016-03-29, version 1.3* Great sounds,easy to play & audiobus and interapp audio compatible. ### 5/5 — Fun App *2016-03-25, version 1.2* Fun App to use. ## Frequently asked questions about Drums by Asrodot ### What is Drums by Asrodot?
