Love it
Excellent app , will definitely check out the other ones after hearing this one. Thank you
May Favorite of all the Lumbeat Drummers
Why do I love this app? Well it seems to be the only Lumbeat drummer I can control without using either MIDI or a mouse! Keyboard control via the space bar to toggle on and off, as well as the carriage return to toggle with fills and the arrow keys for setting tempo up and down. This makes it so much easier to start and end along with my playing, which is kind of necessary to sound reasonable whether live or recording bands that do not end at the sea time are immediately dismissed as not good enough. The opposite of tightness.
This app really rocks and I just discovered that it also works a plugin which is awesome and one more thing - the brushes and hands are much less in your face than sticks so for jazz and ambient this is perfect.
It also has some jazz, some latin and some funk - this is a huge range of rhythms, sounds, and styles. And I recently tired it with a MIDI keyboard controlling various parameters as well. This is a thoughtful, deep and great sounding non repeating non looping rhythmic scaffolding!

Response from developer
Hi Neubop, Thank you so much for this fantastic and detailed review! We're thrilled Soft Drummer's keyboard control, plugin support, and wide range of styles (jazz, latin, funk) are fitting so well into your workflow, and that the brush/hand sounds are working great for your jazz and ambient tracks. Great feedback on tightness and feel too, that's exactly what we aim for with our non-looping, dynamic rhythmic engine. Thank you for your review.
Problems unlocking drummers
As with the Pop Drummer plug-in, this one seems to be working fine on iPad and works fine in standalone mode, but it doesn’t recognize the IAP purchase for the extra drummers in the plug-in. Please fix this!
Years of Good Use, some things broken in new update
I've been using SD daily for years and will for years to come. Ive also acquired most of the others, this last update though, not entirely sure. when changing grooves there is now a progress bar that take ages to change to the groove youve just chosen and doesnt always land on the new groove and can end up with just a snare, so no, that one is not progress. maybe a bitton to switch it off. Also been asking for years a way to save to a new groove with zero swing. Everytime I bring up a new version of a groove it is stamped with some king of swing. Not a dealbreaker but frustrating.

Excellent
as good as it gets for iOS drummers.
