iDrum turns your Mac or PC into a powerful, simple-to-use virtual drum machine. Build patterns with iDrum's lightning-fast step sequencer, using included kits or your own samples. iDrum for PC and Mac can also link to iDrum for the iPhone and iPod touch, letting you take your beats anywhere!
It doesn't matter if you're a professional beat-maker or if you've never touched a drum machine before. iDrum lets you create drum patterns quickly, either with its top-notch included kits or your own samples. There's simply no faster way to build a beat on your Mac or PC.
Drum machine newcomers will get to experience the same magical instant-gratification that hooked an entire generation of musicians on the hardware drum machines of yesteryear. Pros will find that iDrum is the perfect way to manage large unwieldy drum sample libraries, get a phat beat going, and get it exported into the format you need (and for less money than a replacement pad for your MPC 3000).
Seamless integration
iDrum runs as both a standalone native OS X and Windows application and as a plug-in for Pro Tools, GarageBand, Logic, Ableton Live, SONAR, Cubase and more. This means you can use iDrum to create beats from right within your favorite music software environment, perfectly synced with your arrangement and always right where you left it when you return to your project after your next world tour.
Play that Beat
Don't feel like pushing buttons with your mouse? Prefer to bang on things instead? iDrum has you covered. Use record mode to tap out beats on an attached MIDI keyboard, or even using your QWERTY keyboard!
Samples Reloaded
iDrum comes with hundreds of professional drum samples arranged in nearly two hundred iDrum files, each with several preset patterns programmed by some of the best beatmeisters working today. But these beats are just the beginning--since you can mix and match parts and samples between kits, and even load your own AIFF and WAV drum samples, the possibilities for beat creation are virtually endless. If you ever run through all the drum sounds that come with iDrum (and it will take you a while, believe us), you can drag any AIFF or WAV file of up to 2MB in size into iDrum's channel window.
Patterns Galore
Store up to 99 patterns in a single iDrum file, along with all of the drum sounds you used to make your beat. iDrum makes it simple to create tons of variations on a simple pattern, and then chain them together using Song Mode. Or simply trigger patterns from your favorite host sequencer.
Parts
iDrum comes with dozens of part presets--a unique feature that makes it incredibly easy to create amazingly cool beats by simply mixing and matching parts and samples--even if you've never programmed a beat before. You can even add your own parts to iDrum's part preset library so you never, ever, ever have to program that syncopated disco hat figure again (you know the one we mean).
Link to iDrum for the iPhone and iPod touch
Take your beats anywhere! iDrum versions for the iPhone and iPod touch platforms are available now in the Apple App Store (for just US $5). iDrum for PC and Mac now lets you share kits and sounds with your iPhone/iPod touch. Create beats in the palm of your hand with your own samples and custom kits!

"Best one going for 50 bucks worth much more"
Feature:
Well done. Try the demo yourself but remember the real version has thousands of sounds.
Quality:
software!
Value:
You can't beat this software for 50 bucks. It's really amazing - people dog it but they must not have explored it or they would rate it extremely high as well.
Sound:
Very intuitive drum machine and really cool. The dynamics controls and layout are very good. Thousands of sounds and you can import your own.

"The $50 M.P.C. 2000"
Feature:
It didn't come with any accessories: none were needed for Idrum.
Quality:
Since it is a "mac exclusive" program you know it will be a superior product. Nothing compares to it. There are no problems with quality control
Value:
For $50 dollars it is definitely worth it. If you are contemplating spending $1500-$3000 on an m.p.c. than your a sucker. Idrum is loaded with all the same sounds and samples that you would get on an m.p.c. and then some.
Desirability:
Any musician who uses Macintosh for music should add this product to their library. It's a great addition and for what you can do with it, will only expand your musical horizons.
Sound:
Because the program is only for mac users, iDrum is automatically in a league all it's own. The quality of snare,kick, and hat samples cannot be compared to any other computer beat making programs. The sound quality sounds proffessional. From the second I opened the box I became instantly hooked and fell in love with it's endless possibilities. I'm not a fan of mouse clicking drum sequencing, instead I record my patterns using my m-audio MIDI. With Idrum you can't lose, and for it's price it's a steal.
Ease of Use:
I had no trouble learning how to use the program. I was familliar with drum sequencing like this before through "Reason 3.0" but these days I run logic pro with Idrum on my spankin' new Imac. I couldn't imagine where my music would be without iDrum.
Support:
No. even though when you register the product to verify ownership of it they give you all the info needed for technical support online. So far I have had no problems with the program.
Overall:
The only way I'd ever part with Idrum would be if there was a newer version or an upgrade. No other computer drum sequencer compares to Idrum. Idrum has only expanded my musical ideas and abilities. I would never part with it. If it was stolen I would by another copy of it. I love this product that much
