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.

Ratings and Reviews
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!

Sorry to hear about the troubles. No one wants to lose their master pieces.
The new home screen is basically a finder window. You'll find all your beats in the folder "On my iPhone" -> Ensemble -> **all your beats**.dla
From there you can move them to iCloud (if you use that).
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.
Developer Response ,
Thanks for pointing this out. We found the issue and the new release fixes it. Greatly appreciate the five stars despite a few quirks!
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.

The MusicXML files can be opened with Finale, Sibelius, MuseScore, and other notation software. HTH!
