Drum Kit: Beat on Apple Watch
Percussion sound for drummer
- Apple Watch

Most music apps on a wearable feel unusable for one reason: latency. If the sound arrives after the tap, you cannot keep time with it.

Features
What it does
- Ultra-low latency audio engine, so a tap sounds when you make it
- A realistic percussion set sized for the watch screen
- Useful for practising rhythm patterns away from a kit
- Runs without an iPhone
Do I need my iPhone?
Not while you are using it. This is a standalone watchOS app: it runs on the Apple Watch on its own, with the phone switched off or left behind. You do need an iPhone once, to purchase and install it — that is an App Store rule rather than anything about this app.

Questions

Is the latency low enough to actually keep time?
Yes - that was the hard engineering problem in this app, and the reason it exists.
Do I need my iPhone?
No.
How many sounds are there?
A standard kit selection, chosen to stay playable at watch size rather than to be exhaustive.
Can I record what I play?
No. It is a practice and sketching tool rather than a recorder.
