DRUMist (VST3, AU)

AI-Powered Hip-Hop Drum Pattern Generator


DRUMist is the result of years of experience as both a developer and an active hip-hop musician, born from a long search for drum patterns that truly capture the human feel of real hip-hop. Inspired by legendary 90s producers such as DJ Premier, Pete Rock, and J Dilla, it combines AI-based learning with hand-crafted algorithms refined through years of experimentation. Together, these approaches generate drum patterns that sound natural, dynamic, and deeply rooted in the golden-era hip-hop groove.


⚠️ DRUMist only generates MIDI, not audio.


DRUMist is a MIDI effect plugin, meaning it creates and sends MIDI signals but does not generate any sound on its own.

To hear audio, you need to route DRUMist's MIDI output to another instrument plugin that can produce sound.


In Ableton Live → Load CHORDimist on a MIDI track and set another track to receive MIDI from it, like this.

In FL Studio → Match CHORDimist’s MIDI Out port with the instrument’s MIDI In port.

In Logic Pro → Load CHORDimist as a MIDI FX before an instrument plugin.

Groove Beast

Within the first few minutes of playing around was easily able to dial in some very organic style grooves through DRUMist into XLN XO. It's a great inspirational tool for coming up with patterns that are outside of the generic quantized mechanical feel of modern trap drums (which this can provide if that's also what you're looking for in the moment).

Favorite thing about it so far for me is switching between the pattern banks with my keyboard as it is playing synced with my host DAW. Capturing the live transitions between sequences to create a singular take can yield some incredibly unique results.

Does exactly what it says, and it's only on the Beta 3 version as of this review. I also have CHORDimist, which is why I felt so comfortable buying DRUMist without demoing first, so I know from experience updates are sure to come. Leestruments is constantly sending updates for free with improvements faster than any other developer I've experienced.

If you're looking for a generator that provides a very human feel, especially from that J Dilla era, I'd highly recommend it. Also, running it into Percussion Factory from UVI has shown me it can also be an excellent percussion beast groove machine as well.

I will be a life long customer of Leestruments, what else can I say. Amazing work.
