Easy, high quality drum accompaniment in 2026
I think this is a really quality app, there are rafts of excellent sounding loops (real drums played by a versatile pro, and it shows) and they string together seamlessly any which way you want. The process of stringing the patterns and fills together is easy after some light experimentation, way more straightforward than other drum apps in my arsenal (simplicity=win). The downside of that though is you can’t create your own bespoke patterns, so if you want to obsess over specifics it’s not for you. But if your needs are simply for a solid virtual drummer who knows a heap of realistic sounding patterns and fills (cos hey, they ARE real) then this absolutely ticks the box. I’m a bass player and I use the app to jam along with at home - the variety it offers is more than enough for my needs. It works perfectly on my iPad Pro and iPhone Pro, both running iOS 18.7 so the devs must have an eye on keeping compatibility up-to-date.

Easy to use
Another great pick for my music toolbox
Warum bekomme ich keine Rechnung ?
Hallo, ich habe heute die Apps SessionBand jazz4 und drums im applestore gekauft. Warum erhalte ich keine Rechnung? Auf der verlinkten Seite kann ich mich nur im newsletters anmelden … Bitte die Rechnungen mit ausgewiesener Mwst. zusenden !
Great app
Good quality, great for starting ideas, overall great stuff, thanks so much.
Finger weg.... ist das Geld nicht wert.
Man kann nichts anfangen mit dieser App. Es lässt sich kein Takt, keine Geschwindikeit, keine Rhythmus, kein garnichts einstellen. Geldverschwendung, mehr nicht.
Leider nur begrenzt brauchbar
Mein Problem - und damit eures - ist die hohe Übersprechung der einzelnen Instrumente. Will sagen, wenn ich alle Drums mute außer der Kick, ist immer noch die Snare und die HiHat zu hören, und zwar relativ laut.
Noch ein Stern weniger.
Mein Track sieht folgendermaßen aus:
1 2 3 4
A A B B
Fill A Fill A
Aber man hört:
1 2 3 4
A A B A(!)
Fill A Fill A
das sollte behoben werden.
Wird eigentlich noch weiter entwickelt? Es ist ewig her, dass ein Update kam.

New update to great app
App is great and latest update has sorted the bugs. Great playing by Ralph Salmins. If you want a ‘real’ drummer playing on your tracks, I would recommend this app. There’s even styles in 5/4 and 7/4.
Stopped working on iOS12
Quite good until yesterday.
Version 1.2 completely stopped working on iOS12.
Update:
Now back to 3 stars.
Version 1.3 is now working again.
Only 3 stars because it took 6 month for the update.
Why did that take so long?

Inspired
Huge selection of real drum loops. Difficult to export because of latency but will work if you line up carefully in eg Logic / garage band etc...That’s my only criticism of an inspired app for musician/ producers
Klasse
Super sounds. Alle Apps des Anbieters sind spitze!
I like it
I love using this app. So easy to use.
I’d like more care of ending patterns because when I use them for songs, at the end they sound so abrupt.

Utter garbage
App freezes drum beats that are there are basic and inter app audio does not work. Don’t waste your money
Unfriendly App
The idea is good but the console is so stupid. Don’t waste your time and money.
Very poor controls...
Can we please.... please.... PLEASE.... have a PLAY/STOP button on the EDIT window!?!
It is INCREDIBLY frustrating and hindering to workflow to keep having to switch backwards and forwards and then stop and start and back and forward again!!
Makes a potentially very useful app... into frustrating amateur rubbish!

Great Tool
Everything I have from Session Band has worked beautifully to provide a set of excellent musical tools for both study and for performance. Many of the reviews for Session Band Drums have been on the negative side. I can definitely understand this because, by itself, Session Band Drums does not offer as much as the other Session Band apps that provide drum parts, bass parts, chord parts, and much more. However, for the simple purpose I have in mind for Session Band drums, it really has provided a great tool. My recommendation is that potential users of Session Band Drums make sure, before purchasing, that they are not going to be asking too much from the app. If they want more than what Session Band Drums can provide, I recommend that they find a what they are looking for in Session Band Rock, Blues, Jazz, Country, Acoustic, Piano, etc. I hope this helps!

the sound quality is poor
i have all sessionband apps and this is the only one that has very low quality drum samples maybe is the sample rate i don't know but please fix it
Great app one major flaw
This is a great app, superb sounds and easy to use nice interface to create unlimited backing tracks, but there is a major problem when you export your tracks to any daw system, the session band bpm clock does not match with the one you are using in your daw project, if they can solve this issue, it will become the perfect backing track in the market.
Same issue with all the UK Music apps.

So easy to create songs !
Please, consider adding accoustic drum ´n bass and jungle beats in next update...or version 2 ! We also need hip hop loops ! Keep up the good work !
Poor quality
There are a number of issues with this app. One, in this day and age where you can buy excellent drum loops for little money, this app is light years behind. There are a handful of fills for each profession. There is no way of knowing what pattern or fill does what. My oh have to go through each one and write it down to keep track of it. The audio quality is poor. You can hear the high hat stand or pedal squeaking. There are awful overtones from the snare on some of the tracks. Basically, if you just want a limited metronome with real drum sounds then this may work for you. If are hoping for a drum program that raises the bar and could be useful for recording on an iPad this falls way short.
