Create A Drum Machine From Your IPhone Or IPad With These 3 Apps
The first drumming machines made is easy for anyone to create beats, add drums to songs and do professional demos without a live drummer.
Fast forward ahead to today and we have apps available for smart phones and tablet devices like the iPad that cost less than $10 bucks and can do everything those original drum machines could and more.
What are some of those apps you can get to create beats, drum loops and more on your mobile devices? That's what we're going to look at in this article.
Drum Meister
Drum Miester has a picture of a full assembled drum kit on screen. To play each drum or cymbal you simply click the screen over top of the drum you want to play. Creating drum beats can at first feel bit odd but once you get the hang of it the sound quality of the samples and simplicity of it makes these apps easy to use.
Vdrummer
Like Drum Mesiter there's images of each drum from a full kit on screen in this app. You tap the particular drum or cymbal you want to play and the sound is made. An advantage of vDrummer is that rather then displaying an assembled drum kit on screen they have positioned the drums next to those that are most used. For example the snare, kick and high hat are right next to each other. This layout is much easier to use with common beats and arrangements that use the kick drum, snare drum and high hat cymbal.
Korg iElectribe
Unlike the other two apps above this is a drum/beat machine more then a drum kit. You don't need to know much about actually playing the drums with this device since you can easily program the beats you need and then play them back. If you're used to using drum machines like the DR machines from Roland then this Korg app will look most familiar. A down side to this app is that you can't export or save the beats you create so you'll want to record them if you can to an external laptop or digital recording device via the headphone output on your iPad or iPhone.
These are just a few of the many drumming applications that are available for devices like the iPhone, iPad and other mobile devices. To get the most out of these apps you should have some knowledge of playing the drums and what makes a good beat.

Buyers guide: DVDs (indystar)
Despite the economy -- or perhaps because of it -- movie studios released many
quality box sets this year. While many of them will appeal to die-hard fans,
others will appeal to even casual fans of movies and quality TV. (Who doesn't
love a good "Yoiks! And away!" every now and then?) Star Wars: The Complete
Saga (Blu-ray) We ‘Star Wars’ fans keep saying that we’ve had enough with
George Lucas’ meddling with his movie, but we keep coming back for each
release, telling ourselves that this might be the one where he stops. This is
not that time. No, instead we get more tweaked effects and Vader screaming
like a girl at the end of ‘Jedi.’ If this were the Lucas from ‘American
Graffiti’ through ‘Raiders of the Lost Ark,’ it wouldn’t be so bad, but as
those who saw the prequel trilogy have to honestly attest, he’s no longer the
filmmaker he used to be. Still….It’s ‘Star Wars’ on Blu-ray! While you could
get the two trilogies individually, this big set of all six films also
includes three discs of supplements, including tours of the Lucasfilm archives
and 90 minutes of spoofs. ...
