For some reason I was reluctant to get this. I went through a ton of drum apps and sequencers. A lot of them were very good, but I never really immediately clicked with a single one. This one was different, I immediately got to work! It’s really great and a lot of fun! Check it out! I guess it’s stood the rest of time for a reason. Show more

It is awesome!

Perfect, sounds great and nostalgic. I’d give it a 5 but it has no Ableton Link.

This spectacular rhythm machine is a beat makers friend. Just so many features. Use their sounds, make your own, samples, just so much. Get into the settings and explore. Bran Bos makes the best apps. Just another monster here. Get it. Show more

This is the first app i have ever paid for, like many others HH was one of my very first introductions to computer based music in the early 2000’s so thank for the re-issue. My only question is: is it possible to do odd time signatures (5/4) etc. in the sequencer? I don’t see anything in the manual, maybe i missed it, maybe just not possible? Show more

I can’t really put I better than some of the other reviews here; this is a blast of nostalgia and still a fantastic tool that’s unbelievably easy to make compelling beats quickly. After hoping for ages, I’m happy to have Hammerhead back. That said, as much as I hate to be that guy, I have one tiny unfulfilled desire. I would _love_ to have back the reverse option. If there’s any way for that to happen in a future update, I’ll come back and rate this 5+ ? Show more

I remember coming across hammerhead way back 1n around 2003. I had to go out of my way to rate this app and I gave it a 5 because it is the most user friendly, simple to program drum machine I’ve seen to date. Very good workflow, it is very flexible and sounds amazing. If you guys do an update, please you may add features but don’t change anything, please. Way better than more expensive drum machines out there. Show more

I still remember downloading this software back in the late nineties, and it opened a whole new world of music for me. This 25th anniversary addition is nostalgic, and has an excellent drum synth and other extra features to go with it! Thank you for making this and for being awesome!! Show more

I used hammerhead to write my first album in the 90s. Seeing it come back is very gratifying! I’d give it 5 stars if it had a way to export loops to .wav files. I hope that’s coming! Show more

Tap in a few basic rhythms, copy and paste, throw on some chaos and mutation, set sequence playback to random, and you’ve got yourself a nice bed to rock other synths over that isn’t just a repetitive loop. If you’re familiar with the original, you’ll be pleasantly surprised with the upgrades. Bram rocks! Show more

Glitches and randomization on the full kit only is too basic here. most of the fun of these sequencing apps would be to have control over setting locking randomization parameters on each sound individually.. we’re in the 2020s now.. ive assumed most drum pattern programmers had most their fun expressing themselves exploring finer tunedness of their own idiosyncrasies. ive got this app assuming it’d be more fun here :(( expanding upon skimming through and setting different randomization states would be great please consider my request when u have the time Show more

Excellent piece of iOS/iPadOS kit! Would be beyond stellar if the dev would allow usage on an M1 Mac! ?

This is the most immediate fun with drums you’ll likely ever have

Daddy does it again <3

Bram has been making awesome software forever and it’s great to have this new version of Hammerhead. Fast, easy to use, and fun! Hey Bram, old school Tuareg/Tu2 user here! Tu3 for iOS? We’re waitin’! Show more

The original Hammerhead was one of the first programs I ever downloaded to get into music production with computers. It was instant fun and here I am over 20 years later pleasantly finding the old shark’s popped back up out from the depths, with lots more features added that expands the fun and gets it right and comfortable in the modern iOS music app landscape—with auv3 capabilities that lets it get busy with all the other modern apps, and innovative in its own right still, all these years later. And somehow it still has the simple soul it carried in its original form, that made sure you could get right down to making a beat that knocked to your hearts desire, basically right out of the gate. (Not just for drums either, I love importing my own samples and instrument one shots or melody loops and with starting point adjustment you’ve got some slice arrange capabilities. Of course there’s also pitch adjusting and more to shape your sound and sequences.) Fun and effective for the novice and professional music-maker alike, this Hammerhead is back with a bigger bite, and it makes me feel I’ve come full circle. The first Hammerhead was one of the first programs to get me in the game, and this latest edition feels like it’s one of the last one’s I’ll ever need. Show more

One of the first forays into the computer drum makers brought back and updated for todays IOS ecosystem! Brilliant implementation Bram Brothers!

Love the drum machine, love the effects, love the fact that it time-stretches my loops. Thanks for another killer app.

Love it!!!!!!!!!

The app is still downloading and it’s already been giving 5 stars by me. Haven’t even opened it and not even gonna question it. This is the product of a lifetime of work and even if you don’t own a single Bram Bos app, you be sure to buy this one. When I was a kid Hammerhead truly inspired me at a young age to want to make beats. Of course it’s so accessible for today’s youth and tbh they are quite spoiled, but this was the precursor for me getting into Computer based music production. Here I am at age 39 downloading a new perspective on a old idea from a developer I have respected for two decades, that alone is worth the price of admission. Here’s to you Mr. Bos , you’re a legend and deserve all of your success , full circle. Show more
