DrumPerfect Pro

This is a high quality app with excellent iap loop sound packs. However, it is not user friendly. As a professional recording engineer and years of having this app, I still can’t get it to work and with the new update, version 3.0.1, the graphics on the top 2 sections of the app “Pattern, Grid, Kits, Songs, Pads, etc.” and the section right below it are now blurred. Please correct and have a Spring sale on your iap’s please. I can then upgrade my review to 5 stars. Thank you in advance for listening to your customers! -Sincerely, AprilRox of AprilRox Studios 🎶

I just discovered DPP and decided to pick it up, thinking OK, my expectations aren't very high, because most drum apps on iOS don't really cut it for professional productions, unless you're into electronic music. Boy was I wrong! DPP is so deep, it easily rivals the best VST plugins on desktop machines. Be ready however for a learning curve. This is not one of those apps you just pick up and get going with in five minutes (although it's actually very straight forward once you get the hang of how things are laid out and handled). The sounds are very decent, but I prefer to use my own Samples, giving me a good cross-platform compatibility with my desktop DAWs. Overall, DPP is an amazing drum app, not only for real drums, but also percussion (available as iAP) or electronic drums, making it a great all-round Drum app. Great work!

I patiently waited until more velocity layers were added, and my patience was rewarded! First of all, DrumPerfect Pro incredibly flexible, with features that aren't found in ANY other drum machines. Unusual tuplets can be assigned on each track individually, and per beat if desired. Tempo can be assigned per pattern, and the entire song's tempo can be scaled up or down relative to the individual pattern tempos. The included sounds are great. The convolution reverb sounds wonderful. And there are newer features dealing with tempo, dynamics and humanize functions. The GUI is pretty stoic, and the workflow can be a bit tedious, compared to other more simple drum machine apps. As a very powerful and deep drum machine, it must be challenging to balance all the factors that make it powerful against those to make it easier/quicker. If you are an intrepid explorer of new and exotic rhythms, get this (and get Metronomics, too).

If you want real sounding drums this is it; the best sounds and the best way to create your own rhythms and create drums for your compositions. It’s so much better than pre programmed loops! Also the ability to export the whole song with each drum as a separate wave file makes mixing a dream. I love it!

It's one thing for an app to be complicated. It's another thing all together to be so unnecessarily random that it's unusable. To the developing team I say you have a good idea, but bring out a more user friendly update, develop a grid that allows you to see all the events on one screen, and write a single, thorough manual, rather than two small manuals (the manual and the quickstart guide) that provide different pieces to the same puzzle (the actual manual doesn't even cover what the different colored events mean).
