Sessionband Drum 1 v1.3

I am a big fan of the SessionBand Apps since a long time now.
This one is the first one for Drum only, and I hope this is the first of many....
But let's be optimistic (even if it has been released in 2015), this App is called SessionBand Drum 1...
348 Drum loops, 348 Fills and 348 end hits!
348 loops divided into 8 different music genres.
Pop 50 x 3 loops | Rock 10 x 3 loops | Funk / RnB 20 x 3 loops | Jazz 9 x 3 loops | Blues / Country 8 x 3 loops | Latin 9 x 3 loops | Reggae 4 x 3 loop | Odd meter 6 x 3 loops
And 116 songs (styles)

Before I go any further, I must specify something...
I've been talking about loops from the beginning, but they're not really loops. Or at least not as we understand it.... Not stereo loops......
Here we have a track for Kick, Snare, HH, Toms and Overheads

Okay, I'll start again....
So three loops per song and three Fills.
Okay, another little break for those who think that 3 loops and 3 Fills is not enough for a song....
First of all, each loops last 8 beats, and you have the possibility to modify their lengths. From 8 to 1 beat (Note that a loop set to 1 beat can become a final or break hit. All you have to do is select End instead of fill A, B or C.
Second, you can apply the style of one song to another.... Let us take a concrete example. For example, I load Queen's Demo Song We will Rock you. The first pattern plays a Kick, Snare and Tom. If I apply Billy Gene's style on it, my first pattern will now play a Kick, a Snare and a HH...
Third, I can choose to play any Fill with any loop... Drum A + Fill C, Drum C + Fill B and so on....
And finally: these are not stereo loops! This means that nothing prevents me from recording the separate instruments from a loop (in my favorite DAW) and adding other solo instruments from another loop. It's up to me to decide if I keep the overheads or not...
Oh, I forgot.... This is all the more feasible since I can change the Tempo of each loop and that all SessionBand Apps are Audiobus compatible.

Alternatively, of course I can build a song from A to Z with the app as in any SessionBand Apps as well as record my automations...
Watch the tutorial video....
The Audio quality is as always irreproachable....

The drummer awesome...
Drums - Ralph SalminsCredits include: Van Morrison, Paul McCartney, Elton John, Madonna, James Brown, Robbie Williams, Burt Bacharach, Quincy Jones, Wynton Marsalis, Georgie Fame, Jeff Beck.
​
To conclude:
An awesome App for creating real Drum tracks for your composition or arrangements.
Even for practicing (each section ça, be named and loop)
A Killer App! A Must Have !
