Drums uses the Renetik pad controller as a focused rhythmic instrument. Pads can select General MIDI drum sounds from the synth library or trigger configurable notes and other instruments.

I designed Drums end to end: its product concept, music workflow, information architecture, interaction model, and visual interface. I then implemented the Android experience and took it through testing, release, iteration, and user support.

Drums is part of the Renetik Music Apps family and shares its Kotlin application foundations, native C++ audio engine, Firebase services, automated tests, and release workflow.
