Still elite in 2026
FAC Drumkit is an exceptional drum synth/sampler.
Even in late 2026, FAC Dk is one of the best drum apps on iOS.
the developer’s apps sound so good that it’s uncanny, maybe even witchcraftery.
Don’t forget to pickup the excellent free drum banks on patchstorage. Lot’s of great free banks. Several are from ZVon whom like Fred Anton Corvest is legend.

App Need updates
Probably the best Drumkit to automate via midi on iOS DAWs, the app UI is great, lots of parameters and good sounds pre-loaded. However I noticed starting in 2025 few first and rare glitches when reloading sessions with the plugins not loading, a replace/reload was Ok. Now, March 2026, the FAC Drumkit plugin is broken in Cubasis, Logic Pro and often fails in AUM. It used to be reliable like a clockwork, now it’s unstable therefore unusable for Music Prod on iOS. The maintenance of Music Apps on iOS is a true challenge not specific to this app and limits adoption Personally, I would be Ok to help supporting the maintenance of the app and chip-in like AUM does offer. FAC Drumkit did not get updates for 2 years and may need an AI code review the multiple iOS updates in last 2 years to ensure AuV3 compatibility. Thank you for considering. Would love to rate this app 5 star when it runs again. Thank you.

Essential
I’ve been wanting to go deep on sound design for drums (mainly progressive house). This is the one - I can finally sculpt the sounds I want instead of endlessly farting around with sample packs!
Just the right amount of control without being overwhelming.
Huuuuuuge thanks to the dev! This thing is a beast and deserves a place in everyone’s toolbox.

Drum central right here!
The fact that you can create your own drums and use it with a electronic drum kit to play around is amazing. Great app yall
Horses for courses
FAC DrumKits is very much an app for fiddlers. No, not those who pluck strings, but rather rhythm makers who want to endlessly alter the parameters of sound samples. Tweaking to the last degree. In that task the app succeeds fabulously. So why 4 stars? Because FAC Drumkit does nothing without a third party app such as Polybeat to send it instructions/ drum sequences. Also, the presets included could be a lot better and more varied. PatschStorage currently offers a few more, most of which are experimental noises. The best of which is DJ Puzzles Gretsch Kit. Others are available elsewhere, but really at this point for an app that is not cheap by IOS standards, a few dozen kits should come baked in, offering an array of different setups without needing to hunt around.
