This is a little music toy I made for PCs and mobile phones.
Download (version 1.0.1)

- Android version (requires Android 2.3)
- Source code
What is it?
Drumcircle is a radial drum machine: you place tiles corresponding to notes or drum samples, and they play as the clock hand sweeps past them. An internet-play mode lets you collaborate on drum patterns online with other users of the program. I’m really happy with how this turned out– making drum patterns with the tiles just feels really natural and intuitive, especially on the tablet versions.
Drumcircle includes icon art by Mike LeMieux and 27 different sample voices out of the box.
Sample packs
- The PC version of Drumcircle lets you add your own samples. Download this thing for more information.
