Overdone reverb effects are not optional
I just bought this, and realize the thick reverb on every drum kit is baked in. The sound is artificial an awful. I wish I had known.
Still my Top Favorite! Would really love Real-time Multi Out
It still is my top favorite app and if it had real time multi out it would be the ultimate! This way you can have it send out each audio stem in real time to each track in Cubasis. I’m using it with Alesis Nitro Mesh drumkit to trigger the kits on the iPad and it works! Love it!
I highly recommend this app!

Really?
This app shuts down the entire audio and midi system when you use prearranged loops and try to record in AUM. You just put out an update. You can’t tell me the developer doesn’t know these issues. You going to fix it? Or can I have my money back.
FINALLY!!!! A Beatmaking App I Can Use!!
Hands down the best beat making app I have ever used. Other than the ease and use of GarageBand loops, Drum Session app is the easiest to use and have the best sounding drums I’ve ever heard! Now with GarageBand as my DAW and Drum Session for the drums, I am finally ready to record by songs. THANK YOU SO MUCH DRUM SESSION.
Greatest iOS drumapp 🌟🌟🌟🌟✌️
I have used this app for years and absolutely love it! Haven’t had any issues until very recently. Fortunately the latest update has fixed that again. Thanks to great and quick developer support! 🙏
Loving the variety of metal drumpatterns, great sounding drumkits, and ability to insert tempo changes, edit or customize patterns, cloud sharing... Some amazing stuff that i miss from a lot of other drumapps that i own. This is by far my favorite!
Super grateful that my favorite drumapp got fixed! Awesome job guys! I highly recommend this app, especially if you are a metal guitar player looking for grapeat rock or metal drumtracks!

Not for the recording drummer
I connected by Roland TD-25. Couldn’t get my hi Tom to quit being a crash cymbal. Use this as a drum machine/looper. Do NOT use to record actual drumming.
bugs bugs and bugs.
This app have bugs, I don’t like that, hope to fix it. The sound is good, im trying to use this with AUM but sometimes it don’t works properly. If these bugs are fixed i will rate this app better because the idea is good.
Sounds great but......
I really like the interface, sound quality, and versatility of this app. It’s the closest thing to superior drummer or ez drummer on iOS, but on my iPad Pro the pads and keys don’t work. Plugging in a midi controller works just fine, but the on screen pads and keys don’t function. On my 6th gen iPad and on my iPhone everything works perfectly, just not on my iPad Pro 12.9” 3rd gen. If they can fix this problem then this app will be absolutely perfect.
Needs improvement
I like this app but it’s full of bugs which are not being fixed. I tried contacting support but they weren’t much help. If you need to make changes on a piano roll, export your drum track to another midi program to do so. This one will just crash on you.
Save your work regularly because when it crashes you lose it. Pretty annoying when you just spent an hour working on a beat.
Please remove the reverb from the drums. I can add effects later if need be. Even better add a separate reverb effect control for each kit.
