Mid East Drummer

I found this app useful on multiple levels. Technical drummers working on patterns will find it useful as a tutor to teach a basic pattern by allowing you to slow down the rhythm and isolate various instrument parts to practice. Once a part is learned you can mute instruments or change volume levels and you can take over a part of the rhythm. The app doesn’t limit you like a lot of tutorials with the jam function you can learn where to insert various flair and signature patterns. It also performs like your own personal drummers and is enjoyable to set your preferences and play them for listening enjoyment. The song feature helps you learn how the patterns can be interwoven for listening or dancing. I really can’t express how impressed I am with this application from instruction to entertainment it has been very versatile and scalable based on your preference. Side note I am listening to a rhythm with 100% swing and jam intensities as background music as I write this review. I have been searching for something like this for years and I am really impressed with this application.

After purchasing Reggae Drummer, my favorite drum app of all time, I have since purchased every other app by Lumbeat. I now use these apps in almost every song I produce with amazing results. It does take a little processing in Ableton Live to fix a slight timing issue (for example a 74 bpm tempo is recorded as 73.97 bpm, Ableton fixes this issue easily) but other than that they are highly useable. All the Lumbeat apps although similar, are also very unique. Drums are the foundation of any song and these apps provide a solid foundation for anybody looking to create music on iOS. These apps are customizable and complex, yet easy to use. I look forward to to all future releases and updates. Keep up the great work!
