iPhone as drum machine with MooTheCow DrummerThird-party application-savvy iPhone users can add another function to the iPhone’s list of expandable features. Your iPhone can now be used as a drum machine. Dubbed “Drummer,” the new application from MooTheCow leverages the spectacularly flexible multi-touch display to sample up to 15 different sounds into a (hopefully) harmonious piece of music.

Drummer comes pre-configured with rock, dance, jazz and electro drum kits and allows the user to expand upon the drum-kits with customized sounds. And, owing to the power of the multi-touch display, the drum pad can support up to 5 simultaneous button presses, which means that the user can play 5 different sounds simultaneously. Drummer also allows you to play your own beat along with songs stored in your iPhone’s iTunes library.

You’ll need to jailbreak your iPhone before you can install Drummer, so get to it. Then add the “http://www.touchrepo.com/repo.xml” application repository to your “Sources” list (go here, if you don’t know how to add repositories).
