The little shark is back. After 25 years, the new Hammerhead is a fresh, mobile reinterpretation of the classic software drum computer that started it all.
Hammerhead is still simple, fun and playful. It still feels like a little 90s groovebox. Except this time it fits in your pocket, it integrates in your plugin ecosystem and comes with a lot more creative possibilities...
- Pick from dozens of classic sounds and loops, or import your own WAVs
- Use the built-in drum synth to design your own kicks, bobs, tocks and thwacks
- Runs standalone and as a state-of-the art AUv3 Audio Unit plugin (e.g. in Garageband)
- AU plugin supports individual outputs per channel, MIDI output and fullscreen modes
- Trigger sounds and patterns using MIDI (when hosted as an AU plugin)
- One-click compression and distortion, with several sound models
- Let the universe decide: random pattern generator, mutation, glitch and much more
- Easily create complex evolving polyrhythms
- Designed for creative fun: no menu diving or arcane expert settings. Just dive in and create

Had the original years ago
I had the original many years ago and I used it all the time. It’s there on some of the many Duran Duran records I engineered back in the nineties. I migrated from Roland drum machines and Hammerhead just worked for me. I’ve bought it because it made me smile back then and unlike everything else it didn’t stop working when Windows 2000 or XP or 7 came out and I even made it work on my Mac. Sure there was other stuff around trackers and the like ported from Atari and Amiga but this had such a gritty character and was superb for working out beats on a laptop on airplanes. I could go on to say the youth of today don’t know how spoiled they are but it would make me sound old and ungrateful. This software was just so simple and worked in the same way as the drum machines I grew up with. Roland DR55 TR606 TR909 etc. I’m buying it to start smiling again. I love that it’s AUv3 it will be fun to integrate it with Ableton and BitWig. It would be amazing if it spits out MIDI but I don’t really care what it does I just wanted to support the software author for making me smile all these years!
Made with love and ideal for jamming
A classic - made with love. Great sounds, easy to use and still plenty of options (specially in a live jam setup).
Another great app

Stunning....
Bram hits it out of the park again with this faithful, yet modernised and updated version of the beloved Hammerhead Rhythm Station. Retains the simplicity and ease of use from the original but builds on the possibilities made by modern technology. As a power user of Hammerhead since 1996, I can recommend this very very highly!!
A fun music app. With wonderful workflow and some serious magic under the hood.
Music app of the year 2021 in my book. Just so much fun using this for underground beats etc. Easy to use but with some serious clever workflow options under the hood. Go get.
Killer!
So you’re not sure if you need another drum app. Believe me, you do. This one is brilliant. For me, the perfect drum app.
Another winner!
I'd not used the original but this is stunning stuff. It makes it easy and enjoyable to get a beautiful little rhythm on the go. Worth anyone's money. Non-stop fun with lots of added instant variation.
Good, simple fun- but as gritty as you want
In a month that’s awash with new drum and percussion apps, this is a breath of fresh air. Really easy to pick up and play (and impossible to keep the smile off your face whilst doing so) it nevertheless has deep sound modulation possibilities- and I haven’t even tried importing sounds yet. There are no frustrating assignment protocols, no steep learning curve- and it has multi-outs too. Bram Bos does it right, as always
