Play the Drums in Logic Remote on iPad
With the Drums Touch Instrument, you can play a drum kit simply by tapping the onscreen drums. The drum sound is based on the software instrument for the selected patch.
You can play an electronic drum kit, which shows a grid of drum pads in half- or full-screen view.
Or you can choose an acoustic drum kit, which shows a realistic-looking set of drums.

Some drums, such as the hi-hat and snare drum, make different sounds when you tap different parts of them.
Touching and holding a drum with two (or more) fingers plays a repeating pattern. By changing the distance between your fingers, you can make the repeats faster or slower. Moving your finger up or down makes the repeats play louder or softer.
By default, when you tap the crash cymbal, the bass drum plays together with the cymbal. Tap with two fingers to play crash only.
