Drum Loops HD App Reviews

The best

The best drum loop app I could find. No joke. The app isnt pretty, but the loops are fantastic, and perfectly recorded in a studio with real drummer.

Bravo!

Groove! The 6/8 half time feel is worth the cost alone. Simple layout, complete with many variations and tempos. Cymbal swells, single hits, great sound. The only app Ive come across with live drum loops of QUALITY. Im looking forward to more loops.

NO Background Audio! :-/

Audiobus support is gr8, thank you. However, there are times when I simply need to have a løøp playing while jamming on a synth or organ app...for this, Audiobus is overkill and uses more RAM and CPU unnecessarily. Unfortunately, since Drum loops HD lacks Background Audio functionality, I am forced to run Audiobus for such a rudimentary and elementary task. Also, there are some fellow iPad musicians I know who have no need for Audiobus (and/or have no desire to plunk down the eXtra ca$h for it). Because Drum Løøps HD has no Background Audio capability, these folks are basically penalized as a result. Please reconsider your decision to delay (if not exclude outright) the implementation of Background Audio functionality in an otherwise fabulous, Five-Star-worthy app. Thank you!

People Are Halarious!!

Awesome for recording acoustic drum applications! Awesome if you simply want to put headphones in & rock yur guitar!! Best 10 bucks I ever spent!! People crack me up when to give a $10 drum loop app for a phone bad reviews as if theyre purchasing a $500 piece of sound equipment!

I wish it had volume control

With audio bus, I can use multi busing now, but the drums are always louder then the program I use for amp modeling. Please consider putting Volume Control option :)

I need help

How I can do copy and paste to the cubasis?

Great sound, awkward interface

After not having used this for a while, I re-downloaded it from the iTunes Store. The resulting download produced no audio. Solutions listed on the devs website simply didnt apply, telling me to access panels that didnt exist. When I reinstalled it from my computer via iTunes, it worked. Perhaps there is something wrong with an update currently on the iTunes Store. Meantime, this is an awkward workflow: copy two measures, go to DAW, paste into DAW (a many-step procedure depending on the DAW), go back to HD, grab a fill, copy to clipboard, etc. The sounds are terrific so, in my book, we have a halfway-there app. Good drumming, but could have an easier workflow. One thing: since Audiobus seems to be supported (havent tried it) how about allowing us to assemble a track "on the fly?" It would mean queueing up the fill, for instance, without interrupting the currently playing selection. Five stars if that could be done. And Id be open to IAPs. I wrote to the dev and, less than a day later, got a very helpful response and thoughtful discussion. Such responsive communication is worth a star all by itself.

Not worth it

Limited options for the price. Great interface and good sound, just not nearly enough options.

Why cant we play loops and fills at the same time. It will help in our band rehearsals. Also we should be able to play vintage and modern for the same tempo simultaneously. Thanks.

Like a real drummer

This app is great! Ive downloaded my fair share of drum loops over the years and this one is instantly my favorite, from the UI to the quality of the sound. Im looking forward to hopefully more loops to come though I have barely scratched the surface on these. The few I have used so far have made my songs come alive.

BEST DRUMS!!!

The best drum loops I have found. This is not "like a real drummer". This "IS" a real drummer A pro in a real professional studio. Recorded with Telefunken Mics and preamps, among others. And now syncs with Garage Band so the BPM can be exact! Do yourself a favor. I even keep these loops as final tracks on some tunes. Killer quality!!

Amateur Singer/Songwriters rejoice!

For many years I have played solo and in that time I have been terrified to spend money on a drum app that I may not use. I started to hit a wall with my music simply because I wanted realistic drums but couldnt find a drummer nor the place that one could play. That is where this app came in. Simplicity for amateurs and room to grow as a songwriter. I dont know how good the quality is for professional recordings but as a tool for writing and practicing its hard to get this kind of quality in such an inexpensive and intuitive app. Thanks for the great app!!!

audiophile analog engineer approved

Fabulously recorded, a sound engineers ear can hear the expert mic placements, preamps, and compressors used for recording the analog drums. Sits in the mix.

Extremely helpful!

Perfect for working on solo parts.

Good but missing

Liked the light version so did the upgrade. But figured with all the amount of loops would find some 3/4 time stamps Waltz tempos but no. So only 3 stars. The 6/8 just dont cut it.

Its ok.

I love that this program is compatible with raw recording, but the beats leave a lot to be desired. The pop/rock beats are the run of the mill 4/4 crap. They put waaaaaayyyy more effort into the Jazz section than anything else. Which is fine if that is your thing. I love the idea behind this app, but they should get a better rock drummer.

As Advertised!

Ive been making music on iOS devices since 2010, and this is still the only acoustic drum loop app that suits my needs. You can mix and match the different styles as the kits sound the same in each genre. Effects can be added in other apps like MultiTrack DAW and Auria for variation. The drums were micd and recorded well; again, they sound great. I think the $10 price tag is fair for what you get. Love it!
