Soft Drummer App Features

Packed with tools for expressive rhythms

Soft Drummer goes far beyond repetitive loops. It delivers organic, expressive soft drums that respond like a real musician. Whether you’re composing, recording, or jamming, its tools ensure your rhythm feels alive and naturally aligned
with your music.

Humanized Groove Engine

Real Drumming, Not Repetition

No two hits are exactly the same, just like a real drummer. With the Humanized Groove Engine, Soft Drummer brings subtle variations in velocity, timing, and articulation to every snare, kick, and cymbals.

Rhythms that feel alive, not looped.

This engine simulates the imperfections and expressive timing of a live performance, so your tracks always carry that organic, musical feel, even when you’re just sketching ideas.

Perfect for:

Acoustic songs that demand natural dynamics

Jazz and soul grooves with relaxed swing

Lo-Fi and chill beats with a human touch

Song Mode in Soft Drummer

Build full drum arrangements with easey

With Song Mode, Soft Drummer becomes your full-time rhythm arranger. Instead of triggering one pattern at a time, you can build complete songs—intros, verses, choruses, fills, and endings, organized on a clear, visual timeline.

Drag and drop sections to structure your track, repeat or extend parts, and customize each one with its own fill, intensity, and jam level settings.

Perfect for songwriting, live practice, or production workflows, with the option to export your arrangement as stereo or multi-track audio, as well as MIDI files for further editing in your DAW.

What you can do:

Save multiple song presets per style

Create section-based arrangements

Add fills to parts

Adjust intensity and jam level per section

Export your full song as stereo or multi-track audio

Export MIDI for further editing or applying your own external sounds

No-Rush Rhythm. The Soft Drummer app includes more than 130 editable home grooves

Jam Intensity function

Dynamic expression, one slider away in Soft Drummer App

The Jam Intensity control adjusts the drummer’s playing style in real time—from subtle and laid-back to more dynamic and expressive. Whether you need a gentle background groove or a more involved rhythm, simply slide the control to match the mood of your performance.
