Can’t get audio to work on iPad (could be human error). Beautiful and simple interface, dark mode would be cool. Appreciate you making this and sharing, thanks.

Thank you! I noticed on my iPhone that if it's on silent, the audio doesn't play — that could be it.

I can confirm this. It’s definitely not expected! I turned my audio volume all the way up and heard nothing. I shouldn’t need to turn on my phone ringer (and wouldn’t ever think to do so!) to hear a drum machine on a website.

I would highly recommend enabling click and drag to "paint" notes. As it is right now, if I want 16 closed hats, I have to move, click, 16 times. I'd rather drag to paint based on whatever state of the note I start on. The mutes on the left would be better if they mute the notes, not the sounds. Muting and then enabling can end up playing the tail of some of the longer sounds. This isn't typically how you want this t…

Great suggestions, thanks so much. I definitely want to keep the app simple UI-wise, so it's going to be a challenge!

Fun. Always love playing with toys like this. A little d'n'b loop: https://peel.fm/c275e61 The banana tapping in rhythm is a great little touch. Fruity!

Nice amen break-ish loop.

Here’s a house one. https://peel.fm/abe44a8

As someone who was into making electronic music back before Fruity Loops and Hammerhead—-a time when one coveted actual hardware, but was always searching and dreaming about software drum machines because they were cheaper or free, I always find it amazing that we can do this in the browser. I always love seeing cool projects like this come about.

Hammerhead now that’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time… since my teens. Just googled it and there’s an mobile app! https://ruismaker.com/hammerhead/

Yeah Bram Bos is one of the best iOS music app developers out there :)
