Elastic Drums is a music app showcasing an interactive drum kit, that enables to create a huge range of rhythmic grids, ranging from classical analog drumkits up to experimental soundscapes.
It contains six channels of high quality synthesized drum sounds, a step sequencer and 4 effect channels. All important control parameters are automatable. The result: Elastic drum composition with a unique character!
Features:
- 6 synth channels with 13 different percussion synth engines (kick, snare, hihat, clap, tom, wobble, fm, fm4, square, grain, synth, drone, sampler)
- 12 parameters for each synth engine
- automation for each parameter via knob recording or velocity
- 4 send effect channels with 2x13 mono effects and 2x11 stereo effects
- automation for all of the 8 possible effect parameters via xy pad
- master effects (stutter, delay, compressor ...)
- 16 step sequencer for the 6 channels, each with it's own tempo multiplier & length
- record audio and export to Soundcloud or Audioshare
- email audio recordings and presets
- Audiobus, Audiobus Remote, Inter-App Audio and Ableton Link support
- Midi learn/Midi implementation of the most important parameters
Because all sounds get generated in realtime, the app is cpu heavy! iPhones 5 and greater can handle it with no problem, on iPhone 4s effects 3 and 4 get switched off by the engine automatically to save some cpu power. iPhone 4 and iPad1 are NOT recommended!
Elastic Drums is published by MoMinstruments, the instruments app label of Mouse on Mars and friends.

Ratings and Reviews
Top marks!
Well, what a surprise - having bought several other drums apps, tried this one and it nails it! Full of features and the ability to craft sounds, Elastic Drums is presented in a straightforward way and doesn’t take long to learn, and once you do it really opens up the sonic palette. I was able to dial in a fantastic kick easily and am having a great time sculpting + modulating + saving sounds (no difficult effort, unlike some other apps!) Add to this the mixer, effects and jam sections as well as the further option to import samples and this is hands-down the best drum app on iOS. Brilliant!
Amazing
There are a lot of apps dealing with rhythm. Usually these are dealing with sounds that we are familiar with in western drumming. Sometimes these extend to ,maybe, unusual unfamiliar percussion.
This app can contain any sound, which you can edit prior to using in your “kit”. It just seems to be able to create a groove with very little effort. The midi capabilities are comprehensive I understood how to apply midi controllers twiddly bits to experience a full on performance. I’m an mididiot and I get it. You should give it a try just for the fun of it.
Developer Response ,
Thanks a lot for the nice review 😊
the best?
If you enjoy cooking up beat based mayhem then not much comes close to Elastic Drums. So deep yet accessible with it. I’ve not had it very long but expect to be using it for many years to come. The attention to detail in every part betrays years of development and steady perfectionism, leading to a very complete instrument. We are lucky as musicians to have such amazing tools at such affordable prices. My only wish would be to be able to record stems WITH the effects on. Cheers for the app
