Drum Pads 24 Beat Maker Music Reviews

by Jumbo/paper

I used to love using DrumPads24BeatMakerMusic, than I took a long break from it. Eventually I decided to make some more music and I went back on it for the first time in a while. When I came back though I saw “Premium”. Turns out they got rid of coins so now you have to pay $7.99 a week! How do people even afford that? They got greedy (or people were not buying coins) and they made premium. DrumPads24BeatMakerMusic took a step backwards and I’m kind of sad to say that.
Now I get people put the time and money into making these awesome sound packs, and there are way cheaper options for premium, but I feel it was better using coins. I spent almost $50 on coins and I enjoyed using the sound packs. But I just can’t afford to pay $50 a year for that stuff.
Coins was a great option for a lot of beat makers like me and I hope that you guys would consider bringing them back, but as for now I won’t be using DrumPads24BeatMakerMusic for a while...

I’ve used DrumPads24BeatMakerMusic for years and have wowed many friends and got them to download it as well. Unfortunately I’m going to have to find another drum pad app to use now because $8 a WEEK for any app is insane. If I used it professionally every day maybe I could swallow the $50 for the year, but when it comes down to it, a subscription fee for an app is NOT a good idea. I was happy to pay for a few beat sets here and there, but now the option to choose the beats I want to pay for has been removed and now have to buy ALL of them is quite a rip off, and a tragic move by the developers. I’ll wait a few years and see if maybe the will switch back to the way it was. Don’t get me wrong, I understand it takes an army of people to make this stuff, and I didn’t mind paying to support them at all, but taking away customers options and telling them to buy everything or nothing is doing them dirty. I can’t even get in to all the old beat sets I’ve purchased in the past without starting a stupid 3 day free trial which automatically pulls money out of your account on the 4th day. Clever little way to con people there.......

This is an AMAZING app! I have used it SO MUCH over the past 5 years. However I have a HUGE PROBLEM with the coin system changing to premium memberships. Ever since the change, all of the packs that I got that were not free are no longer useable! I’ve lost at least 10 packs because I can no longer use hem without a premium membership! I will not stand for this! This needs to be fixed! I want to be able to use the packs that I bought with MY HARD EARNED CASH again without having to sell my soul to a premium membership. I have also seen responses to reviews similar to mine that all it takes is just “signing in to the account that had the coins on it.” But here’s he problem: when the premium membership update was released, that account was signed out, and I remember absolutely NOTHING from that account. Therefore, I have lost absolutely everything: all the tracks that I had made, all the packs that I purchased; I even had to download ALL of the free packs ALL OVER AGAIN! I would have rated DrumPads24BeatMakerMusic 4-5 stars in the past, but this issue is such a problem for me that I’m bringing it down to a 2 star rating. Great app, but I do NOT want to sell my soul to a membership just to use my packs again!

Thank you for responding to my review. Here’s a clarification as you requested. When connected to the internet I watch an ad as usual to download a sound pack. The pack downloads as usual and I can play it, though the banner ads do make it a bit laggy, but I assume that’s just my device as it is pretty old (the first gen iPad mini). Here’s the problem I’m facing, and the same issue has arisen with your old apps as well: If I disconnect from the internet, open DrumPads24BeatMakerMusic , and try to access my downloaded sound packs, it still asks me to watch an ad to download, even though I already did this when I was connected to the internet. If I hit the button it says “Sorry. No ads available right now”. Might be my device, I don’t know. I haven’t seen any other reviews addressing this problem. I’ll be getting an iPad mini 5 soon as well. I’ll see how DrumPads24BeatMakerMusic performs once I do so.

I’ve had DrumPads24BeatMakerMusic for over 3 years. Used to be perfect - pay for what you want with coins. However it now has a subscription-based service. Even if I just want one sound pack I would have to pay $8 a week. It could be argued that you get a bunch of sound packs for $8. But personally I only want 1 or 2 every once is a while. 3 days free is ok but a service for $8/week seems exorbitant. I understand the need for apps to move to subscription, but at least make it clear if you can do it monthly. Where on the pop-up screen does it show monthly subscription? At least you can still download free ones or download from the community, which is great, just a little frustrating to see the screen pop up every time I open DrumPads24BeatMakerMusic . I like the coin system and would love to see it return. Either way DrumPads24BeatMakerMusic is still usable and I still use it frequently.

I’ve been using Drum Pads 24 since it’s release, back in the days where you had to buy coins for fancy packs. I’ve always loved the care that was put into each pack, including the Christmas meme one [OG fans know exactly which pack I’m talking about].

However, with the frequent updates, tho many of them I love the newest update has some issues. For one, with premium— I can no longer access the packs that used to be purchased through the Coin method ( such as one of my all time favorites “Deep Vibes”. ) they load but the sounds no longer are registered to the pads.

Secondly, with the new update, all 12-pad packs breaks DrumPads24BeatMakerMusic and freezes it. I cannot delete and reinstall DrumPads24BeatMakerMusic due to the amount of recorded tracks I have. I don’t wish to lose them and can’t move all of them.

Overall it’s still a great music tool, and I use it frequently ti make my own packs or work with my own music. Just how I love the Loop Pads app “MixMate” just as much but I feel it doesn’t get the love it deserves.

This is for sure one of the best (mostly) free apps available for creating beats on your phone/tablet. The social feature in Drum Pads 24 is rad cus you can share your packs and recordings with the community and allow other people to download your pads and make their own beats (and vice versa). There’s a a decent amount of options for tweaking and manipulating sounds and you can upload external recordings, but I’d like to see more effects available (I.e distortion, etc.) that could be applied to individual sounds, bites, etc. Overall a sweet app tho

I’ve been using DrumPads24BeatMakerMusic around early of year 2016. I find music producing fascinating mainly some modern hip-hop trap beat. I always use DrumPads24BeatMakerMusic whenever I’m feeling down because I can express my emotion by playing the many types of presets in DrumPads24BeatMakerMusic. Although feature where users can post their beats publicly is a great idea, its also kind of obnoxious that I have to see the same sound pack every time. It gets repetitive and I cant find any other trap type beat presets. In short, I want more trap presets created by the drum pads staff and music producers from around the world

I love DrumPads24BeatMakerMusic it's very fun to use but I hate how every time it gets updated all the sounds I have don't work only the very first drum pack so I have to delete DrumPads24BeatMakerMusic and reinstall it then I have to download every sound again and whatever I recorded gets lost this has been going on for the past few updates
Thanks for fixing the sound problem they all work now last minor issue is that it lags when your connected to the internet or lte but it works fine when cellular data is off slow but functions
Update has fixed everything no more issues app perfected thank you for the quick fixes

Hello. As a blind iPhone user, I am showing this drum pad up very amazing! I can navigate it easily with my screen reader, I can download the sound packs easily, and it’s just a lot of fun to play. I can just switch off my screen reader and start tapping and once I get used to it, like how the pads are laid out, I can start drumming like crazy. But can you make a search bar in the feed because there’s like 1 billion sound packs, and can you also make it available to the US again? The drum pads 24 in the electro drum pads 24 I can still use. But what happened to the rest of the apps? Please fix this

by Roxie2009

This game is AMAZING! It really lets you get your creativity level flowing! I like the fact that you can press any buttons in the musical pads and it will make a beat! Its very helpful when your not used to making beats. There may be just a few bumps, like the fact that there is so many premium beats and not a lot of free beats. But you canget premium beats by watching a short reward video. Do you et to keep them? Of course not, there for the premiums! But its nice to see into what the premiums get every day for a few minutes. I dont like the fact that there isnt any famous songs on there, like billie eilish and Old town road and tings of that nature. But yeah! Thanks!

After almost a year of endless searching, buying, and being horribly disappointed with countless apps that claim to have awesome features, only to find it was false advertisement 90% of the time. When I came across Drum Pads 24 it really blew my mind. Besides being very impressed, I unintentionally found myself a new hobbie. Once I start making beats, I can’t put my iPad back down. On multiple occasions I have played until my battery runs dead.
The only thing I would change is maybe the price. I think it should be a one time buy in, with the option to buy new sound packs etc.

I’ve been producing tracks for years. Have my own studio and tried every music manipulation app out there. I always go back to DrumPads24BeatMakerMusic for straight up fun. It’s quick, easy and fun. I’m getting older and keeping time on live play and memorizing the sound locations on the pads are a challenge but keep you sharp. Totally recommend this for an introductory to music production programs. The improvements over the years have been right on for what was missing. The sound overall is clear and above par to the class of app. Please don’t stop the improvements and continue to expand step record mode. This model is fast and responsive and it can be turned into a more serious step recording program like others.

After 6 years of using drumpads, there’s been so much progression and it has truly been amazing! I can’t wait to see what’s next for DrumPads24BeatMakerMusic! One I thing that I wanna bring up that I kinda miss was the old sequencer, only reason is because when I record beats with it it, it’s easier for me to turn off certain pads when I’m in the process of making a beat. Being able to turn off 808s on certain parts of my song was great. I know it may be too late now for that but if there’s anyway in the future to bring that back but keep the 4 bars feature with it, that would mean so much to me. Other than that, keep doin what y’all doing, y’all will forever be my favorite community and my favorite app of all time✨✨

Honestly, I have been making music for years. I make beats for rap. I even helped in making a beat for Quavo once in his song Ice Tray which became a big hit. I have a studio at home and I make so much music. I have a Cubase Studio and drum pads. I had some singers and rappers come to my place to record. To be honest, right now DrumPads24BeatMakerMusic is just for fun. But it can be taken to the next level. Drop a more advanced version of it on a computer or make your own actual drum pads. I have always dreamed of drum pads or studios that let me record the sounds I want. DrumPads24BeatMakerMusic has gotten the closest and is basically my dream. It is just not big enough on my phone and my drum bass don’t connect. 😂😂😂 take this to the next level. Trust me you will become so popular if you expand on DrumPads24BeatMakerMusic. Good job! 👍👍👍👌👌👌

Ok so first off all of These reviews that I’m seeing are retarted yeah there’s a subscription SO WHAT?! You can skip that screen and SO WHAT THERES PACKS THAT NEED MONEY OR WHATEVER IT DOESNT MATTER listen I love DrumPads24BeatMakerMusic getting to chat with the other beat makers is amazing getting to make ur own pack is amazing but there is one thing that I would like the developers to fix there is a bug to where if I try to rename a pack that someone made it won’t let and so if ur making a remix and I take someone’s pack that they made like for an example what if I wanted to make a remix of idk maybe one of King Rocky’s packs (sorta famous beat maker) but it wouldn’t let me rename that would be a problem I think.... idk but anyways amazing app one more thing I thing in the feed where you post ur own pack I think there might be some robots so idk try to fix that somehow... AMAZING APP! why am I still typing

by HARDCORE RACER

Hey devs, I’ve suggested stuff in the past and got a response each time from y’all which is rare thing that happens with other devs. Anyways I have another great suggestion and this involves the sequencer :) so while using the sequencer I thought that it would be awesome if y’all added some type of filter system to each bar y’know?

Like if I have a beat in the sequencer and I don’t wanna get rid of the pattern I have but I can just click a button or something to filter out a sound while having the loop constantly going.

I would have 808s, kicks, hi-hats, and snares but I wanted to filter out the 808s and snares for a build up. I feel as if this idea would further increase the possibility’s of a finger drummer potential. I don’t know if y’all agree with this idea or not but then again it’s just a suggestion. Please consider this. - A satisfied customer

by NoahsLegends

I love it, this is not one of those fake reviews, it’s legit, like me😂. I love DrumPads24BeatMakerMusic , it’s the best drum pad app I’ve gotten, I love the feature that you can make your own pack WITHOUT PREMIUM!!! I LOVE IT, and there is a chat (which means that people cuss a lot and a restriction should be put on the chat) and you can download other people’s packs, it’s amazing, but does have a few problems, but besides that, it’s amazing

Update: Please see if there is a way to install a algorithm on DrumPads24BeatMakerMusic to detect and delete or censor the message, or something around the lines of that, or add a “report” button to delete messages people don’t like, and refrain them from being able to type anything in the chat, or change DrumPads24BeatMakerMusic rating to “17+” because some kids may possibly download DrumPads24BeatMakerMusic ,, and see the inappropriate profanity in the chat.

Another update: I like how you added a “watch add” button to temporarily unlock the premium packs, thank you!

if anything everyone using DrumPads24BeatMakerMusic should be able to make their own packs as that is truly more impressive than just playing back what movskin, irekid, andrew papin, Baxxre, DJ Venøm, or sava have already made and arranged. in addition will our pack covers be allowed to be in gif format sometime soon or just pictures? I honestly don’t have many bones to pick with DrumPads24BeatMakerMusic i really haven’t touched one of the packs the developers make themselves in about 2 years or so and i’m doing fine just producing my own style of music on my profile so to those who are quitting over a “subscription” to remove “ads” that literally take up no time. for shame on you. for shame. The developer team is literally always working on stuff to improve their app and rid it of bugs.

Sincerely, Scrim.

(ps. Baxxre lost his account if there’s anyway for you guys to help him with that it’d be amazing, i’d hate to see his effort on that 600 follower account to go to waste. he’s truly an amazing producer.
Check out our collab coming soon.

Gotta day I love DrumPads24BeatMakerMusic. The sounds are big and unique, all different types of genres. Some sounds are a little obnoxious but it is fun to try to flip them into different styles. A couple factors would make this 5 stars for me: the UI for the menu for sound packs is kind of clunky, I’d love to be able to manage packs better, when I want to favorite, I have to exit the pack and scroll through, that should be in the pack or when I exit the pack I should be at the spot where the pack is. Also when I download a pack I’d love some flag or marker in the menu that I downloaded it. Or have a marker/take away the packs I’ve downloaded from “all”. I’m basically having to memorize which packs I like because the favorite feature is so clunky.

A big one, make the A/B button Midi programmable. I use the Roli Lightblock and I have 4 open buttons to program.

If there was a BPM for each pack that would actually help to, a way to have a metronome would be good.

I’ll keep thinking of ideas but DrumPads24BeatMakerMusic is awesome for every level of musician IMO. Great job guys.

Ok I’ll start by saying I love DrumPads24BeatMakerMusic! Drum pads 24 keeps the fire burning when I’m away from my instruments, I have some questions. I recently downloaded Groovebox and a free synth app. I made some samples on these apps that I love and want to play with on drumpads24. I saved the files from those apps to my iPhone, the were zipped files. After I unzipped them and saved them to a folder, they are not appearing when I go to create my own soundpAck in the drumpads app. I’m wondering is there a specific format I need to save them in to use them ? Why are they not appearing? Help guys!

by SIDETRAKT

Yo this ain’t just a finger drummers dream come true it’s also a producer and djs dream tool
The samples are already cut and ready to use in your productions and ready to be used at home club for live djay sets not to mention you can use the record function to your advantage. Play with it because If you truly love music and you love what you do the work of finding a place for every aspect of technology is worth it! Oh and do not do like I have for so long and sleep on the feed! the feed, the FEED, THE FEED!!! It’s not the feed your used to. That of non sense jibber jabber it’s the feed bearing gifts... it’s the B-side to every record for DJs it’s the unused by any other producer pack of samples. It’s D.P.’s underground!

I've already spent quite a bit of time messing around with this and trying to create my own "jam". I'm not extremely musically inclined, but can still manage to create fun tunes from time to time.

The one and only thing I'd like to see down the road is the ability to adjust each sound's volume (similar to the pitch). Some of my sounds that I would like being more of a background actually overpower the actual tune I'd like being heard more.

Still fun though!
