  • Settings page.
  • Drumkits manager, now you can create and import your own drum packages (the specification is available here).
  • Drum editor, where you can enable and disable drums, and change the keyboard bindings
  • Logs can be accessed through the application (when debugging mode is activated).

Improvements in version 2.1:

Coming soon: Drumkit 2.1

After some hard work, Drumkit 2.1 is getting closer and closer.

This version will bring many changes. Among the new features:


Improved layouts, now supporting "snapped" view.
Added settings page
Now you can import drum packages, and in future versions you will be able to create your own.
The layout manager page. Here you can add layouts, and set up when they will be used. In this case, the "Standard layout" will be used in any view mode (all the modes are checked) which don't have a layout assigned to. For example, there is no other layout for "Landscape" and "Filled" view modes.

Other features planned (not necessarily for this version, but soon) include:
  • improved layout editor, so you can also modify scale and rotation
  • new drum packages (drumkits), rock, electric and others
