## Ensemble Composer Description
A whole drumline in the palm of your hand! Compose a street beat, a stand jam, or even your whole book. Play along, practice, share, and edit. With amazing real recorded drum sounds and the ability to create any rhythm over any time signature, this is the real deal.

Compose and play along with the actual battery drum line sounds of the Paul Rennick 2012 Santa Clara Vanguard, as recorded by bass tech Brian Lowe - tuned the way they sounded on finals night.

## Ensemble Composer Reviews in United States

### ****- "Good App"
If there was a hi-hat option for the cymbals it would be golden. Also, if the unison on the bass drums were actually a unison instead of just the lowest bass. Maybe also, I get the need for articulation, but i personally hate when you play one drum on tenors and then when you play the next drum it cuts off the first drum, but I guess that’s personal preference.
-- Bigger picture., 2025-01-03

### ***-- "Update this app !!!!!"
I have been using this app for some time now however recently when i have created new cadence it stop saving. I would love to keep use this app but the update is a must !!!!!!!!!!!!
-- Nehemiah watkins, 2024-11-17

### ***** "Add a single tenor section."
Love the app since I first got it. Y’all should really add a single tenor section so that you don’t need to make separate beats for the quint and single tenor.
-- Seanthedon2, 2024-05-04

### ****- "(kinda) good app"
Overall, the app is really good to mess and have fun with, including copying cadences off from MuseScore. Although, some of the features can be quite buggy. Sometimes, the split feature can just freeze and losing a part of my progress in the process, and also the fact that some of my save files like to “duplicate” themselves for some reason.
Again, good app, but might need some testing in the near future.
-- ALPAT08, 2023-12-10

### ***** "PLEASE ADD THIS FEATURE"
This app would be a 5/5 for me if there was a way to separate tempos within a drum section. I.e having the lower register tenor drum be at a different tempo than the higher register drums.

I’d willingly pay extra for that feature alone.

Please🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿

### ***** "How do I export it to musecore"
How do I export it like as sheet music
-- erynbgh, 2023-04-11

### ***** "Polyrhythm/time sig issue"
I’m having some trouble with polyrhythms under odd time signatures. For example, it won’t let me do 4:3 while in 7/8 time. Also, it won’t let me do certain subdivisions without crashing. I can go up to the 64th notes when doing one quarter note at a time. It won’t let me do more than 8th note triplets across two quarter notes. And if I try to subdivide more than that at a time, it’ll crash. I have this app on my iPad on an older version (1.5.5.3) and ironically don’t have this issue. Again, I’ve only noticed this issue working in 7/8. This review remains five stars because I’m a long time user and know this app’s potential.
-- A_Bad_Word, 2022-03-13

### ***** "One thing"
I love this app and have been using it since it was 3 separate apps before they put them all into one. One problem is the buzz rolls, they are impossible to make. When you make a buzz roll it just sounds like individual staccato buzzes, instead of a straight buzz sound. Please fix that devs and your app will be almost perfect
-- Uriejsjxnsnms, 2021-11-19

### ***** "One of my favorite apps"
I put up a review a few months ago and gave a 1 star rating. I was basically judging it off of the work that I had lost which was not fair. This review will be totally different. Aside from my work being lost (which I have on a different phone now) this app is really good! I’m loving the new sounds! The price might be a little much but for me it’s worth every penny. I definitely recommend this app to anyone that just want to write down their thoughts. It’s very easy to use. Like I said, the only downfall is the fact that you’ll lose your past creations if you’re updating from the older version. Other than that, it’s awesome!
-- TheFlyingCricket, 2020-11-30

### **--- "New app deleted everything"
What am I supposed to do about all the music I had on the app before the update ? It’s all gone and all of it wasn’t on paper yet ...
-- itz.Elmo, 2020-08-19

### ***** "Amazing"
I love all the new features, and the audio🔥 Love this app
-- bigfatchickenwing, 2020-08-18

### **--- "Eh"
Bought my sheet music and no matter what I do the file won’t open on any device I have. They stole my dollar
-- ...$):539j, 2020-01-23

### ***** "Awesome game"
I really love this game. The only problem is that I can’t see the sheet music Of the song I created anywhere. In other words, I can’t find where to view the sheet music. Other than that, perfect.
-- dj excision, 2019-12-17

### *---- "Doesn't work move on"
Purchased for my iPhone X and doesn't make any sound. No documentation. No support. So far, I am not satisfied with the app.
-- Velonaut303, 2019-09-06

### ****- "iCloud Feature"
I recently had a phone stolen with this app on it and it was full of cadences, warm ups, etc. Now they’re all gone before I could write them out! I really love this app but it would be absolutely amazing if there was some kind of iCloud or backup feature to transfer between devices.
-- Super-bawsman, 2019-02-12

### ****- "Useful but can use a few improvements"
The cymbals sound like loops rather than realistic crashes and they cover over everything.  It would be nice to have options as far as how the drums are tuned.  Also, the addition of southern style marching single Tenor/Tom drums would definitely be useful.
-- Swanestyle, 2019-01-11

### ***** "Converting it to sheet music."
I have bought the extension for sheet music, but I can’t view the file, I have just got MuseScore and it won’t upload to it. Please tell me which app/program I must get to be able to view the file as sheet music and then be able to send it to someone so they can view the sheet music version of it so they can learn and practice the piece.  Great app, thanks!
-- Calebwebb304, 2018-12-08

### ****- "Fix the export issue"
App is great. I like it’s set up. I don’t like how my export purchase doesn’t even export correctly. The app converts the sheet music to a .mxl file instead of the advertised .xml file. Fix this for five stars!
-- CATucker, 2018-11-02

### ***** "I really enjoy this app"
I purchased all of the extensions but can only use the audio files which is fine. I just wish I didn’t waste the money on the other extensions. It would be amazing if the app could be updated more often because I use it almost everyday wether it’s to write, practice or help my students. I’ve recommended it to several friend despite the weird bugs. Hopefully these prayers are answered lol.
-- Ajjja56, 2018-10-23

### ***** "Great app."
I love composing random music off of the top of my head, writing beats, and I even use this to write new warmups and cadences for the high school I went to. This app is worth the money, and the extra features are great too. I can export sheet music to print, and I can export audio to play along with. No other app is quite like this, and this has a easy to use GUI. Perfect.
