Triplet sequencing isn't possible. No MIDI. ### 3/5 — Leider keine AuV3 /IAA Anbindung *2025-06-28* Bitte fügt das noch hinzu. ### 3/5 — Please Update *2025-01-17* for iPad mini (A17 Pro) & iPhone 15 Pro Displays Size ### 3/5 — 懐かしくて久々にダウンロードしましたが *2023-12-17* 音質は良いし、以前よりも進歩しているのですが、以前は確かGaragebandのIAAにも対応していたと思うのですが、おやめになられたんですか？　だとすれば、とても残念です。是非またGaragebandへの対応をよろしくお願い致します。 ### 3/5 — Not bad but!! *2022-09-20* Can’t use w Bluetooth. I got this to make up beats to practice drums. Unfortunately I can’t send to my speaker. ### 4/5 — Software is good but *2022-05-14* The software is good but need more samples of exotic drums like Indian, African and Japanese origin. At the same time would be great if we get an option to add our own samples to the tab and sequencer and export it as a way. Trust me this will be a game changer. So 4 stars from me unless such functionality appears. ### 4/5 — Great app *2022-03-14* Great app. App needs an update like new Drum Kit, Option to change colour of Drum pad and hit mark, Option to increase bass and treble, option to keep pad full screen and hide menu options. Hope it gets updated soon. ### 4/5 — Great drum pad app *2020-12-30* I’ve been using rhythm pad since day one. I’m happay to see that the creator of this app has kept up with all the multitude of apple updates and kept it alive and even expanding its capabilities. Here’s a couple things I would like to see. The reverb and compression is a nice addition to the experience. But ide like to see the reverb assignable to individual pads. I think that others might agree that it’s nice to have a dry and tight kick drum in the same kit as a snare soaked in reverb. As it is, reverb is applied to the whole kit. The compression is also applied to the whole kit but that is the way it should be. So, half awesome. And I really miss the pad animations you used to have in the olden days. It’s like they lit up from the center like there was one LED in the center and it got a little darker towards the edges. Not a big deal of course but to me it’s much more aesthetically pleasing than the all yellow graphic that has taken its place. And I also remember the old rhythm pad had a secret function that I really liked, and it might still be there, I haven’t checked this version yet. I assume it is. But if you have the app open while using your favorite DAW you can use it to control instruments within that DAW. I would open rhythm pad while using easy beats in Logic Pro and be able to trigger the easy beats samples including velocity with it. Try it, it’s really fun and useful for creating more lifelike drum tracks. Pads even match up kick for kick, snare to snare, etc. pretty cool! Keep up the good work! ### 5/5 — Was great before, fantastic with new upgrade *2020-07-17* Sounds great Intuitive to use ### 5/5 — ну вот( *2020-07-08* пропал мой любимый сЭт trip-hop...в остальном всё гуд.. ### 5/5 — RhythmPad is a great little Drum machine *2020-07-04* This app has been around for long time. It is awesome that they’ve continued to upgrade this and keep it current as iOS music gets better. It really IS a great drum machine. ### 4/5 — Superb now!!! *2020-06-30* I have completely re-wrote my review! This update makes me want to apologize for my previous review! Rhythm Pad now feels like a more serious drum app than a toy now! The developer has completely re-structured this app and it is usable now. There is a built in step sequencer that you can choose to record live to or step program. There is a metronome and a count in to start recording. With this new update I was no longer confused, the UI makes sense now and I tapped out a beat in seconds (it even quantize now) which can be exported as an audio file! The sounds are awesome and good quality which is a carry over from the original app. Great work...I would definitely recommend this app now! **edit** after playing with the app a bit more it still has some debilitating issues. It will only quantize 1/8 and 1/16....why not go the extra mile and add 1/32 and 1/64th? The way it is now limits the types of beats you can do...good luck trying a good trap beat. Also, when you record a beat, stop to listen and press record again to add to the beat, it erases the beat events instead of adding to it, so too bad so sad if you didn’t save that beat. The developer has made some great improvements, but it still has a way to go. Just a side note, velocity would be a nice feature and the ability to assign what pad gets reverb or not would also be cool...and the hopes of additional sound packs and AUv3 would be great 👍🏻 **Developer response:** Hi Fretless33, I am very sorry for the inconvenience caused. I confirm this was a bug in our end. The bug has been fixed and the update is now live. Please update to the latest version of Rhythm Pad for the fix.

App is good and latency good but please add more drum kits . Drum kits are very limited in the app. After a long time again saying please add more kits like indian tabla sounds and many more other sounds. I have purchased app please do it for us. It’s a request. Regards Edit: its May of 2026 now but you still have not added any new drum kits. ### 5/5 — Wow! I cannot believe this app has been around for over 12 years! *2025-07-29* So I had this app back on my iPad 3rd gen, over 12 years ago… and the app has grown over the years the sound quality is awesome! I just downloaded “GtrWiz” the other day and was writing a review, because that app is TOP… if you play guitar its a MUST, honestly it is dope, the best Swiss Army Knife for guitar available… but Im glad I came in bc I opened this app up again (after MANY years) I had to blow some ‘dust’ off, but these drums are KILLER! I wish there were more apps geared toward metal (although metal is not my main genre) I love the RAWNESS and DEEP lyrical abilities when writing metal! Anyway this apps acoustic drums just set me on fire! ### 5/5 — Super gut! *2024-10-26* Ausgezeichnete App, um auf einfache Art Drum-Tracks zu bauen. Ideal als Background, wenn man Guitarre spielt. ### 5/5 — Rhythm Pad Pro *2024-07-17* It’s great! If only I could get that Gretsch Motown sound, or the distinctive compressed sound on Al Green Let’s Stay Together. Love those 70s classic rock drums also. ### 5/5 — Updating my previous review *2024-05-04* It didn’t justify this app! These samples sounds like these were played by the the greatest of the greatest “Bonzo” Bonham! I never thought I would be writing this review ever in my life specially in the iOS ecosystem! This is dear god of forbidden light! This app is just sheer Ragnarok! Into the valley of death march the 600! Into the valley of death !! ### 5/5 — Holy goodness gracious, Thank you Dear Lord! *2024-04-26* At last, at the very last, ohh, these samples are truly divine, Many apps just gives you dum dada di da da, but just listen to these samples with your eyes closed. You’ll feel like it’s been playing right before you! Thank you so much! The best the best the best! And one small free suggestion, don’t program, during tracking play with your fingers, If you don’t understand why I said this, just forget that the line exists. But if you do get why I suggested to tracking by finger playing, You’d be making Bonzo The King of the Zeppelin very very happy! ### 5/5 — 심플하고 좋은소리 *2021-03-12* 사용이 쉽고 소리가 리얼합니다. 패드개수가 조금 더 많았으면 좋겠습니다. ### 5/5 — excellent *2020-12-11* awesome, love it, just what I was looking for ### 5/5 — Вообще сильно💪 *2020-11-24* Барабаню всю ночь. Вся семья теперь не спит. Вообще чётко 🤟🏾 ### 5/5 — This update is awesome *2020-08-06* Exactly what I wanted. Thank you. Now, the only thing missing is MIDI clock out to be able to sync with loopers, synths and other devices and you guys are done.
