Elastic Drums App Reviews

if you put all apps together who claim they are drum machine for iOS they are not as good as this. Period! - because truly allows you to shape your beats and sounds, plus will gives huge add on with all kind of effects. There is some things i would redesign, add or change. If you have all other drum machines in collection do not think you have it all, this is the one you are missing for sure. Very nice update for ipad and iphone. Happy to meet another developer who is thinking and working hard and deliver amazing product...

So glad to see the iPad support! A real gem here! Probably the best synth drum machine on ios IMO. There are tons of sample based drum machines on ios but only a handful of synth based apps. You can really dial in your sounds and get creative here. A must-have!

Best drum synth app available for iOS.

This by far the best drum machine. Its so easy to make an interesting beat. The downside is all the installed presets. I wish I could remove them. Seriously this is so easy my kids could make something as good as the presets on this. Enjoy

I have worked with various Elektron products and longed to own them. However, Elastic Drums came out and I will put my Elektron money into practical things. These percussion sounds are incredible, the randomized is brilliant, each sequence channel can be a different length, the automation is simple. People say the phrase "game changer" a lot without considering what theyre saying. But Im saying this: Elastic Drums is a game changer.

I love a good drum machine app but they all are too infrequent. Lately there have been some worthy new additions. This is one of them. I resisted this for awhile until the app went universal and tried it out. I was not really expecting anything interesting but within minutes made one of the best beats I had produced in a good long while. Finding a good iOS drum synth has been a problem for awhile - the ones with good sound seem to suffer from various user interface clunkiness and the ones that offer smoother interfaces unfortunately just all sound predictable and uninspiring. This one sounded great before even getting to the extremely fun and impressive FX panel, the quality of which is not exceeded in any other mobile app. If this doesnt change your perspective on mobile drum synthesis then nothing so far released will.

Ive been using the great DM1 as a scratchpad for a while now, but ElasticDrums is packed with everything, including great automation and individual instrument control. Its just a great, fast app thats perfect for me to put down more detail into an idea when it hits me, so Im at least a little less likely to later say, "what was *that* supposed to be?"

This is pretty much everything I could ask for in a drum machine - excellent algorithms, great master effects, easy to pick up and play! You can really make a whole track here, and it sounds as good as (or better than) a number of desktop plug-ins.

It doesnt work properly even alone on Audiobus, please Needs an update.

I have really enjoyed this drum beat application a lot so far. I find it great to lay down any beat that is stuck in my head during the day. But, I have also found that it really inspires me to create all sorts of crazy new grooves. Getting to know my way around the application didnt take long at all (though, I did not understand how to use the Velocity function right off the bat.). But, I believe that this drum app is very user-friendly and anyone from a novice to a professional would be able to get acclimated to the application pretty quickly. By default you get a pretty sizable and decent quality selection of Kick, Snare, Clap, HiHat, Cymbal, Wobble, Grain, FM and other preset samples to help construct your beat with I thought. I do hope that the developer of this app will please add new samples in future updates please. As I said, though, I believe the quality of what is already included in the app is actually pretty darn good. One thing that I would please like to see added also is, a way for the user to save their beats please. Maybe this feature already exists? If so, well, I just cannot find where it is. I do really appreciate that the app allows me to record and export my projects to Audioshare (if you dont already have this killer application, I highly recommend that you check it out.). Though, a general "Open In" function would be much appreciated as well please, thank you. So, in conclusion, I just think that this is an easy to use and robust drum application and I highly recommend it to all professional and aspiring musicians. Plus, at this price I find it to be quite the sweet deal. Many thanks to the developer for all of the time and hard work that you no doubt have put into crafting and maintaining this superb application. Thanks again and God bless. iPad Air 2/ iOS 8.3 iPhone 6 Plus/ iOS 8.3

Very interesting, powerful, inspiring. The automation and FX are top notch. Synthesized sounds allow for a high degree of customization, and then you can automate parameters to get REALLY vibe-y unique beats. Not the best tool if you’re looking for ‘realistic’ / acoustic drums, but VERY strong for original flavors, from minimalist to dense and complex. Fully automate-able effects, four simultaneously. Can’t wait for next release!

This immediately became one of my favorite apps. Dynamic and fun to use. Reminds me a bit of elektron Machinedrum. Highly recommended!

Some one has been reading my revues about all the lame (you know who you are) drum machines and sequencers cause this beautiful app has EVERYTHING I have been waiting for !!!!!!!

You could spend a couple house setting up automations and lfos in Ableton/max or accomplish the same thing in minutes with surprising results in Elastic Drums. This along with Audulus has formed the basis of my on the go setup. Hours and hours of non stop tweakery! Just a thought. It would be great to set the patterns to play a certain amount of times before moving on in song mode.

I have been waiting for an App Store version of the Nintendo Korg DS-10. I was losing hope, but then I got Elastic Drums. Obviously not a direct port, but really the same idea: 6 synths, editable, with x/y pads for effects, etc. It doesnt sound like a DS-10, but it has the same level of fun and exploration of sound. If you like that sort of thing...

I love Elastic Drums! I have an Elektron Machinedrum at home and this is basically that in your pocket. If you love sound design and weird percussion this may be the one for you :)

This is a really surprising, powerful instrument for electronic music creation. The voices are capable of sounding big and complex, the effects are beautiful, and the automation makes everything live and breathe in ways that either aren’t possible or don’t sound as interesting using other tools. If we just look at the features, lots of people have made software that does similar things on paper, but it takes great taste and a deep understanding and love of electronic music to realize something like this.

I have the current audio share. Your app insists I do not. And will not open audio share. This is a huge error. It needs a fix.

Extra star for being a responsive, proactive dev. I am absolutely loving this drum synth & sequencer. The sound sculpting capabilities are much deeper than your average drum synth and the automation tools open many possibilities.

Elastic Drums gives you complete control over sculpting your drum sounds. Its easy to come up with something thats sonically unique. It is fun to use and the interface is extremely intuitive. A+
