How about 2 simultaneous layers to experiment with rhythms playing against each other. I guess it's called polyrhythms... Sorry if someone had already mentioned this...
@gkillmaster For DrumPerfect polyrhythms, see http://forum.audiob.us/discussion/comment/50104#Comment_50104
However, DrumPerfect does not do polymeters, which are different.
Hi.
Maybe after so much post it could be a silly question, but:
Is it possible to play flams and stick rebounds? (I mean, as a beat, not as effect).
Thanks.
If you have samples for them, then yes.
Smart guy...
Well, I'll play two beats, one of them with some delay and different velocity.
Thanks.
That's another way to do it. I wasn't trying to be glib, DP will use whatever sample you build into the kit. I do have some flams and rolls samples, but I haven't built a kit with them yet.
No regrets, I appreciate any help, specially the quick ones.
Got it yesterday. This is of course the best acoustic drums app around. Congrats to the dev, finally we have something sounding good here.
Two requsets though. It really needs MIDI, as everybody said. We would love to be able to control it from other sequencers. And it really needs more kits. The factory ones are aimed at jazz/fusion and are just too soft for me. Some rock kits would be nice. But I'm a tweaker by nature, so this week I'm building my own kits from my samples. Thanks a lot for that functionality!
Will we be able to get more kits in the future?
EDIT: Got some time to read the post more deeply and it seems both requsests are going to be reality in the future. Thanks!
Congrats on the positive review on SmiteMatter...

@FRibeiro, @funjunkie27: Thanks!
Bought it. Great app, but I appear to be a terrible drumming programmer, grrr...i can only blame myself. All I make is terrible non swinging stupid patterns. I am disappointed. My insight in drumming is really bad. grr.. I understand a lot of how the app works, and it is really very good this app, the user interface is very intuitive, and thats great when there are so many options!! This is really a very good app!! Still I feel like I have thrown away the money, can't stand it.
Marcel, look at it this way. You can only improve...
Hahaha, yeh, thats true! First time I laughed the last hours. Thx Paul.
Hey @Marinus...why didn't DrumPerfect ship with this kit...
;-). Love the app, and it's the closest Bozio emulation I've seen!
Lol.
@funjunkie27: Lol. Still looking for a way to get that huge china in..
On the subject of polyrhythms, is there a way to have different kit pieces play different subdivisions? First thing I tried to program was a 2-3-5-7 4-way coordination thing (thanks Paul :P) but I couldn't figure out a way to do it. I suppose I could set up 7 patterns of 30 beats and manually do it that way...
It's mostly just a curiosity as I would probably never have a use for something so rhythmically complicated.
Fantastic app, btw! Natural sounding acoustic drums have been sorely missing from iOS until now.
Yes. That's what I've been talking about in another thread.
Program the instruments you want with one subdivision value, then select an instrument you want to use a different subdivision value for and change the subdivision value before you enter the strokes. This will not change the previously entered strokes. The trick is to work out which subdivisions to place strokes on, as they are beat subdivisions, not bar subdivisions.
As an example, in order to get this 7 against 6/8 pattern, once I'd set up the 6/8 beat, I changed the subdivisions to 7 (per beat) for programming in the ride cymbal, then placed a stroke on every 6th subdivision, ignoring the 6/8 markings, in order to get 7 strokes evenly placed across the bar. I then linked the ride cymbal strokes and lowered the probability a bit, so that the cross rhythm doesn't occur every bar.
That's very cool @PaulB
I haven't bought this yet, because although I think it sounds great, it looks like a lot of effort to program and I don't think I'd have the patience. I tend to work by playing in drums in real time to the track I am doing, so that the drums support the feel of the track, rather than starting with a drum pattern. But I'm open to comments from existing users if you think I've got this wrong.
@PhilW How could you be wrong? If that's the way you work, it's the way you work. DrumPerfect is currently all about constructing your drum patterns beforehand.
@PaulB thanks for that, I've got it working now. I was attempting to split beats into 2 subdivisions but that seems to reset all other parts to 2 as well (possible bug?). As soon as I started using larger numbers it all worked as expected. Cheers!
Thanks, PaulB!
Along with the swipe-to-set-steps feature I mentioned earlier, it would be pretty awesome to have an insert function as well. Possibly just a button with a drop down for which beat to insert the hit on. Fr instance, you want a kick on the first beat of every bar. You hit the insert button and then select 1 from from a drodown and it inserts a beat on the first beat of every bar. Just trying to think of ways to speed up the core beat creation process because it's painful right now to me at least. Just a thought.
@boone51 There is only one bar in a pattern. With the kick instrument selected, placing the stroke on the first beat is a one touch action. Why would you want to make it a two touch action?
@PaulB, you're absolutely right. This is something I look for when I'm trying to work around that one bar limitation by putting in 16/4 as the time sig. I guess my request doesn't make sense in the current setup. Thanks.
Ok, I see what you're on about now.
On the plus side, you will only have to do this kind of thing once per example. Marinus will be adding pattern merge functionality, so you could save patterns with just kicks where you want them, others with just snares, etc. That means you could just load the pattern with kicks on the 1st beats, then merge in the pattern with the snare on the 2nd beats and so on, tweak a bit and save it as a new composite pattern.
Ah, that's cool. Yeah, that could help. Thanks again, @PaulB.
This app looks great, but I just opted for Stochastik, despite all of its limitations, for several reasons. First, it's 1/3 of the price. Second, I'm really afraid that DP is a resource hog, and would be a waste on my iPad2. Third, the interface terrifies me. It looks like what Stochastik does with probability and gain variation, except much more complicated. I'm not a real drummer - I just want to be able to set the thing up and play guitar/bass with it.
DrumPerfect is certainly "better" than a lot of other drum apps, but I'm not sure it's for me.
You know, it would be a great idea to have a simplified look for DP. Specially for non drummers like myself, it would be great to have it where one can click advanced and go to more deep detailed editing like it is now if one wanted, but also have the ability to select a really simplified look where only the most important choices could be made, sort of like Stochastik. Having a midi learn feature would be cool too, specially for selecting patterns off of drum pads on a midi controller maybe?
