Drum Loops HD Reviews

Great sound, awkward interface

Bobbo924

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 dev's website simply didn't apply, telling me to access panels that didn't 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 (haven't 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 I'd 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 can't 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! I've 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. I'm 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 couldn't 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 don't know how good the quality is for professional recordings but as a tool for writing and practicing it's hard to get this kind of quality in such an inexpensive and intuitive app. Thanks for the great app!!!

Fabulously recorded, a sound engineer's 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 don't cut it.

It's 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.
