Favorite apps for drum sounds?

I love all the Luis Martinez apps; the Afro Latin and Brazil apps are really, really great, in addition to the Rock/Funk/Soft mentioned above. I can’t get into FutureDrummer

I also still like Funkbox for classic drum machines, even if it’s rather limited in tweakability.

DrumJam can be very useful, too, sometimes, and Patterning is a cool, unique beast.

Basically the same list for me with regard to acoustic drums. Ruis apps and elastic for synth drums.

Also in the "bang for the buck collections of drum sounds" category would be DM1, BeatMachine and Vatanator.

Preferring to use as few apps as possible, I find Grooverider fairly good for drum sounds too. And you can load your own favorite samples e.g. made by other apps (I only wish GR-16 could sample directly .
If I had to choose my favorite "high-end" drum app, it would be iSpark however.
In-app sampling, STEREO sample support, up to 6 velocity layered or round-robin samples per pad, great FX and very usable UI make it my personal best-of-all when it comes to drums (and simple monophonic melody lines).
Ableton Link and Midi Clock Master/Slave sync make it useful even in a serious setup with external hardware.
The ability to use the Spark LE hardware controller is another goodie although not really necessary imho.

Linn Drum samples in Patterning. Sprinkle in the occasional DMX or Cr-78...all I’ll ever need

I like pattering. Is the only way to use it in a daw to export the audio?

I use Gadget alot and have found Bilbao to be really good as a sample player. I have made my own banks with my Cr-78 and 808 samples. FunkBox or Ruismaker is usually what i open If i’m setting up a session in Aum for live jams.

You can export directly from the app, but only in .aiff format. Go to Files / Export and you'll see all the options under the Audio (.aiff) tab. If you need .wav, then you'll need to convert in AudioShare, or try open-in to get it directly into other apps that support it.

It doesn’t show up as an iaa inCubasis. But does in AUM.

In Cubasis you have to set up an Audio track. Then under Routing Change from Mono Input to Inter-App. Then you'll be able to pick Pattering (Main Output), Patterning (Track 1), etc.

Sweeeet. Thanks!

For e-drumming: GarageBand; BeatHawk Acoustic Drums; BM3 loaded with third-party samples. Still lacking a drum synth for some squelchy goodness

You have plenty to buy ( ), but I will add DM1 to the list. Seems like everything else has been accounted for already.

Forgot I owned DM1. It wasn't downloaded to the new iPad. It is actually great! Nice sounds, pretty flexible without being overwhelming.
