The best!

Honestly, my fav drum machine on iPad!! Nothing comes close. I love it!!! Made so many awesome drum beats. Thank you :)

Nice

A fantastic free app that really performs.

Great app

Really awesome app. Best free drum machine Ive used. The only thing I would like is the ability to change the tempo for individual patterns within a song.

Awesome app

Almost 5 stars, needs some more midi options to sync with my other apps. Take a look at midi options in funk box

Greedy company, app nothing special

WARNING, RIP OFF ALERT! I cannot believe these guys want us to purchase this app twice for our ipad and iPhone. Its the same darn app on iphone and ipad so this is just greed plain and simple. As far as the app goes its nothin special at all. The pads are not even touch sensitive and the samples are low grade so its basically just a toy. I recommend IGOG. IGOG is light years beyond it for drums but is for real musicians who can already keep a beat. But, If you have little or no music ability and just want to keep time and the sounds dont really matter then this app will do it for you, but nothing more.

This app rocks!!!

Its not easy to use but thats because you have total control over every parameter, and it IS Intuitive. Sounds are wicked and is rock solid. Price is dirt cheap and it is EXACTLY what i have been looking for!!

Best drum machine that I have tried

First it is fun, lots of different patches/kits. I like making a pattern & then testing out the different kits. I have tried a few other drum machine apps and this is the best that I have come across, sound wise and ease of use. Keep up the great work! I hadnt played with DM-1 in awhile and forgot that it sounds so great and it brought a smile to my face - wow - great app!

Best drum machine app in the App Store

I tried all of the drum machine apps out there and this is the best. If I can get it to work with a midi pedal or USB pedal to start and stop I will be getting rid of my classic drum machine on stage. I would highly recommend it if you are performing or or just playing around.

Missing only a few things...

This is app is great, works fine, easy to use, and the selection for drum machines to use. The only thing is, its missing the TR-505, 707, and 727! Also a few others, but these are the main ones. They need to add these, making it the best drum app, thats the only bad thing about it. Other than that some effects are a little off-sounding, but it comes close enough. Just those drum machines, plus maybe some Linn ones or other classics, and replace them with the sound effects like "weapon" and "water", which, in my opinion, are pointless. I cant be the only one yearning for those drums, right?

Amazing

I have used this app for over a year, and all I can say is that its awesome. It has a great selection of drum machines (such as Rolands TR 606, 808, and 909) and other rhythm contraptions that will give you literally hundreds of hours of play time. Unlike many other beat creation apps out there, DM1 is incredibly easy to use and has unlimited possibilities of what you can create. You can also upload samples and use the effects channels to go absolutely crazy. This is definitely a 5 out of 5 app. Probably the best 5 bucks you can spend anyware. The only downside is that it can occasionally crash if things get too hectic.

Great app

Great app for anyone who wants to make some cool drum beats and songs.

Great musician tool!

Awesome app! I have been using it to make songs. Just make a pattern hit play and jam away. Plenty of kits to choose from and very customizable. The sync could use some work though I tried to use wist to sync it to my korg app on another device and there were some latency issues after a few mesures. Still a powerful drum app, with a pretty interface.

Not working with iOS 8

Not compatible with iOS 8....cant even launch

Back to life

Works in iOS 8 after last update. Its working with AudioBus again too (AudioBus says "error" on the icon, but I just tested and confirmed I could record DM1s output in GarageBand).

Wont open

Always crashes on startup. I love the Mac version dearly and would love to have this working.

audio copy

app works fine except when I go to do an audio copy export so I can paste into garage band. It crashes and wont let me export PLEASE FIX!

Great drum machine app

Had some initial challenges with a crash in an earlier version, but that’s all cleared up. Well designed and implemented drum machine app.

Great When It Works

This is the best app Ive ever downloaded... when it works. My main problem is the long month or two month gaps where it is unusable because it crashes or the effects are way off and ruin any songs you may be working on.

Import/export issues

The import option doesnt work AT ALL on my iPad mini. I cant open it from email or the Dropbox. So annoying and it completely ruins the momentum of music writing. Please please please fix this. No reason it shouldnt be working

Awesome!

I love it! You can use it for anything, even metal!
