Amazon.com Product Description
Add the missing ingredient to your Mac-based home recording studio with iDrum--a fully programmable drum machine. iDrum turns any Macintosh computer running Mac OS X 10.2 or later into a slamming beatbox ready to lay down your grooves, your way. From ambient down tempo to bangin' hip-hop to frenetic drum and bass, iDrum has your back (beat). It's as easy to use as the hardware drum machines of yesteryear, but with all the flexibility of a software-based virtual instrument. iDrum integrates seamlessly with GarageBand, Logic, Digital Performer, and other applications that support AudioUnit plug-ins, or you can run it as a standalone application. This means you can use iDrum to create beats from within your favorite music software environment--perfectly synced with your arrangement and always right where you left off when you return to the project. iDrum comes with hundreds of tight drum samples arranged in nearly 200 iDrum files, each with several preset patterns programmed by some of the best beatmeisters working today. But these beats are just the beginning. iDrum also features a wide array of sound-shaping DSP functions, such as filters, amp envelopes, and even crunchy old-school drum machine bit reduction. You can also load any AIFF or WAV sound file up to 2 MB in size as a drum sample. iDrum's sonic palette is limited only by your imagination. iDrum will also export your patterns and songs as AIFF audio, MIDI, or GarageBand-compatible AIFF for further editing. Drum machine neophytes will experience the same magical "instant gratification" fun that hooked an entire generation of musicians on the hardware drum machines of yesteryear. Pros will find that there's simply no faster, easier way to access and manage large, unwieldy drum sample libraries, get a smooth beat going, and export it into the format you need (all for less money than a replacement pad for your MPC 3000).

 very cool software - does amazing stuff no matter what other reviews say November 13, 2007

Folks criticize this software because it doesn't do what they want. Seems to me it make more sense to see what it does and then decide whether it's a good buy. You can download a demo with documentation and use it for ten days and decide for yourself. I've decided it's a very usable tool for a great price.
You can make a beat very quickly and intuitively, import your own sounds including non-drum sounds, do stutter effects, do very cool variable amount swingish beats, 999 bar songs, save patterns, kits etc.
As for a four four only time signature - do some math! Five bars of four can be converted to 5/4. 12 4/4/ bars wil get you 3/4 besides if you are doing hip hop or downtempo electronica, most likely you'll be in 4/4!
You can't beat it for 50 bucks.
Valuable Tool September 14, 2008

This is a great product! Those looking for an all in one drum solution won't find it here, but for $50 you get well more than should be expected. Anyone serious about beat production will have a good sample library, pro sequencer, and truly get the most out of idrum as a plugin.

The drum sounds are good, but this is just a toy. It dosen't work with garage band without crashing and it can only be programed to simple meters.
Not totally useless, but close enough December 1, 2006

First, this thing can only be programmed in 4/4. And you can't quantize; you're stuck with 16, 32, or 64 beats per measure. Forget about a genuine swing beat. Also, I'm sure there are tom-tom drums somewhere among the drum menus but I can't find them. There are about a million snare samples and countless squeaks, blips, honks, etc. If you're doing club stuff this is probably a useful bit of software but if you're looking for something that resembles a drum machine you'd use for rock/pop/roots demos, forget about it. My ancient Yamaha RX17 is much more useful.
iDrum is lame March 15, 2007

If you're serious about programming drums, do yourself a favor and buy Reason. Redrum, reason's drum machine, is soo much more programmable, not to mention it lets you edit waaay more parameters than iDrum does and it comes with a BUNCH of samples. As an added bonus, reason has soo much more stuff for you to play with if you ever get the urge to add anything else to your songs.
