Poor File Control

Has potential but useless file control. The iPad has file access now. Need to move with the times.

Incredible app

This app is an unbelievable tool when it comes to writing and exporting MIDI drum tab. From blast beats to off-time funky beats this app does it all. As good as Tabit IMO. Works well with Reaper. A must have tool for those recording their own music.

This is one of the top drum iOS apps

I tried most of top drum apps for iOS over last several years. After working with them, I came back and used DRUMSTUDIO for my drum lines because you can program them easily & precisely and the drum sounds are so real compared to the others. Thanks DRUMSTUDIO for this app.

Time Signatures!

I tried many other apps, and this is the only one I tried that can change the time signature of the pattern, the step view, and the metronome. Other apps want to just give you a different number of steps, but it still looks like 4 beats, or it will not change the accents in the metronome, or it is just 4/4 all the way. Drum studio does it all.
Also it may be hard to tell, but you can build songs apart from just the 4 patterns that you can see.

Poor update

So, an easier export means iTunes only. You've got to be joking.
