A sample pack in app format? That’s rather interesting. A flat fee of $14.99’s not a bad price either as many artist sample packs like this COULD go for higher.
Looks like it's by the same dev as Drum Loops HD which is a really good app. Not sure if the grooves featured in that clip are quite my cup of tea though.
What, they couldn't get anyone good?
@AudioGus : “Cough”??
@mrufino1 : lol
I was just hung over and being cheeky about the ‘needs no introduction’ part of video... looks like this dude has cred.
No it’s a great deal: I’m sure many of you are aware that was his groove at the begining of Paul Simon’s “50 ways to leave your lover” as well as Rikki Lee Jone’s “Chuck E’s in Love.” Quite simply put he’s one of the great drum masters of all time .. Certainly the most influential one in the 70’s. Oh, and that’s him on Steely Dan’s “Asia” that famous drum solo. As for whether it’s “Your cup of tea” Gadd was also a chameleon, able to transverse a myriad of styles. You can take snippets of what he does and chop it to make it your own, I suppose. I’m leaving a snippet of my drumming here to illustrate that I play well enough to opine on this subject with some authority although nowhere near Gadd’s league . He is one of the greatest to ever pick up sticks .

Put it this way.. The possibility of anyone here including me programming a beat that would be near equal to some of his masterful grooves are remote indeed.

What’s the app like? I’m a bit wary of apps that look this slick. Style vs substance and all that.
It’s just him playing and you sample it . YouTube “Steve Gadd”. That’s what it sounds like . Or go through your recorded/mo3 collection. Highly unlikely you don’t own anything he hasn’t played on.
The video says there's a choice between dry & live sounds but does the app allow individual outputs for each drum element? Is it just a stereo mix that can be sampled/dragged into an iOS DAW? If it does exporting what format is it? WAV, AAC, etc?
@Telstar5 you have a great feel man, good stuff. My first instrument was the drums, played snare from 6th grade on, with quads & tri-toms thrown in for marching band. I loved playing drumset & still do but guitar is what took me away to open my creativity. Having a rhythmic foundation makes guitar easier to learn; as a beginner to intermediate guitar teacher for awhile (it's how I met my wife
) most have more trouble with their right hand than fingering with the left.
Steve Gadd was one of those hero drummers I saw in Modern Drummer magazine growing up. Dave Weckl, Vinnie Colaiuta and the especially Gadd were all over the videos & instruction articles. He's extremely technical but keeps it sounding in the pocket and funky. With his work with Clapton playing live over the last decade he's streamlined his playing, and it's been so cool to see. Dude just has the right amount of space between his fills & grooves.
I'm interested if this is more than just a beat jukebox. Give us access to the individual tracks, it's essential if it's going to be aimed at the musician/producer market.
@JRSIV : Thanks for the kind words. I actually haven’t pulled the trigger because Christmas but it’s the next purchase I’ll make in the App Store, that’s for sure. Excellent choice to move to guitar as it’s difficult to write songs on drums which is why I double on piano as well. As far as it being a “jukebox”, my immediate first thoughts are to use it w say “mini sampler” in Cubasis and chop the grooves up. As far as single hits are cincerned, we have those in drum perfect Pro.
There’s a free light version to get the feel of how the app works.

Wow, great.. Thanks!!
I think this is more about the quality of the recording. Any drummers samples chopped in right places and fed into Sector or Samplr will sound tight and musical.
Unless of course one uses full loops in which case it might save one hiring a drummer and a studio. The fact that it works seemlesly in garage band is probably the major selling point for me. It’s always good to have an extra drummer in GB.
That would be Chet Baker, Ennio Morricone and Sinatra for me.

Cool thanks. Too bad the demo doesnt give a sense for how tempo changes would be treated. I assume it wouldnt use timestretching of audio.
Just checked out the feature set on the full version. Seems... spotty.
By that I mean, it is not quite a drum app (no link, no variable tempo) and it is not really an extensive library.
That's a pretty good playlist there. Pretty pretty pretty good.
All the loops are available as Apple loops - so worst case load em into GarageBand change the project tempo and export the audio
Just load a loop intro Groove rider and chop it up I to 16 parts. Change tempo to suit taste
There are light versions for all apps of the dev. Here's the free version for Steve Gadd loops: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/steve-gadd-loops-light/id1324002454?mt=8
So you can check out a few grooves and actually export them as well for free. I found that blocs wave seems to be a good place to open these in, it can time stretch them easily, no matter if it's apple loops or wav files. I really wish Audioshare/AUM file player supported time stretching, though, @Kymátika, then I would just keep these kind of loops in Audioshare with no need to copy them into other apps.
@Munibeast : Blocs wave. I didn’t even think of that. However in GarageBand you can indeed adjust the tempo without time stretching . Anyone wanna know just check out the specs in the App Store. Wow!
As apple loops there are great. I really like apple loops which normally sounds good at any bpm rate. Sometimes even better as their original speed
Heard an unsubstantiated rumor this company was working on a guitar loops app. Sign me up
Cool to see Chris Moulious one of the original inventors of Sonic Foundry ACID is back at Apple as an iOS Engineer
