    Hi Developers of xdrummer would it be possible to add a drum kit that sounds similar to Michael Jackson’s Track Billie jean ?

    I have the Bias Amp stuff on ipad and pc and it’s so good! However, this app is broken. I can’t get it to do anything I want except play the kit with my fingers… when samples aren’t missing. Please just reconstruct the app over so whatever’s wrong is gone. Call it X drummer 2 even. A lot of work, but I’ll pay again I don’t care.

  • One of positives grids biggest IOS blunders

    This had the potential to become what was and is still very much needed on the IPad, which is EZ Drummer. If only the developers weren’t so shortsighted. Number 1, it shouldn’t have been an auv3 app , number 2, it needs to have separate output support for each kit piece. At this point it’s abandoned and I know those things will never happen, in fact no one at PG is sharp enough to make ANY of their apps into audio units. I just do t think they should make anymore apps for the iPad because they really don’t understand it’s user base at THIS point.
  • No Bluetooth?!!

    XD could be basis of practice/backing tracks, but no Bluetooth makes it limited. Playing back thru iPad speakers is a joke, when should be able to hear via my PA like every other software. And for some reason, Indie Rock add-on doesn’t show up in Templates, yet Classic Rock did. Needs some more fine tuning.
  • Tempo BPM is off

    There seems to be a bug in the tempo section. Type in the exact tempo and it doesn’t line up with several metronomes I’ve used to test it out. This makes it completely useless for me. If customer support can fix this I’d very much appreciate it as I’ve spent money on this
