Dr. Drum
Features
Dr. Drum gives
you access to a 16 track sequencer, a full twelve pad drum kit, a 4 octave
keyboard, and a library of premade beats for you to mix. The sequencer has many
advanced features such as pan effect, mix, tone, and volume adjustments. The
keyboard has sounds from guitars to brass to allow you the opportunity to
create a truly unique composition.
Additionally
Dr. Drum allows you to import your own sounds to create truly unique beats.
This beat making program uses .wav files instead of mp3s, which they claim
offers a huge increase in sound quality. This is vitally important when you are
attempting to create professional quality sounds for recording or performing.
Dr. Drum is also integrated with YouTube, which makes sharing your creations
through social media is a breeze.
Initial
Reaction
Dr. Drum is a
program with a well designed and intuitive layout. This means you won’t get
bogged down with all the technical jargon and confusing buttons and tools.
While some believe that when you sacrifice technical difficulty you sacrifice
quality, but with Dr. Drum you get the best of both worlds.
Almost
immediately from the time you download Dr. Drum you can get right down to
business letting your musical genius shine. The wealth of tones you have to
work with at the beginning is almost mind boggling.
You could sit
and play for hours and still not even come close to exhausting the
possibilities. Add to that the capability to upload your own sounds and you
have unlimited creative potential at your fingertips.

Pros
- The utilization of .wav files over MP3 files has to be Dr. Drum’s best weapon. The sound quality is excellent.
- Dr. Drum is easy to use and comes with a lifetime license, meaning you don’t have to pay for any future updates or upgrades to the original software.
- Dr. Drum comes pre loaded with a huge library of beats and sounds to get your juices flowing.
Cons
- Contrary to some of their advertising, Dr. Drum won’t automatically turn you into a beat superstar. You must bring some musical ability and industry knowledge into the mix.
- While it’s true that the software doesn’t have the same kind of learning curve as some of the industry standard software, it won’t literally do the work for you. Instead you must think of Dr. Drum as a powerful and affordable conduit for your pre-existing musical ability.
OUR FINAL CONCLUSION
All in all Dr. Drum is an amazing investment for the up
and coming musician. It makes laying down beats a snap, it provides numerous
opportunities to remain creative and authentic, and unlike some of the other
big contenders out there, it comes with a reasonable price tag.
While it can't make up for a complete lack of musical
talent, Dr. Drum will provide you with all the tools you need to showcase your
abilities and make them clean, fresh, and marketable. Unlike freeware which can
often be riddled with viruses as well as lacking in some key features, Dr. Drum
remains affordable while giving you the security and quality of a professional
program.
