This is a quick look at iZotope’s new iDrum (App Store link) drum machine app for the iPhone.

In addition to running on the iPhone, iDrum is available as a standalone application, or as a plug-in for use within VST, Audio Unit, MAS, and RTAS host applications.

The iDrum application takes advantage of unique features of the iPhone platform — users can tap virtual pads to create rhythms, shake the handset to clear patterns, and use slide and flick gestures to navigate the application’s interface. Immersive, colorful visuals show the relationship between different sounds in the beat, allowing users to create new rhythms by creating visual patterns.

Using a special companion application, beats can be turned into ringtones for iPhone.

The first two versions of iDrum, Hip Hop Edition and Club Edition, are now available for US$4.99 each from Apple’s App Store. iZotope plans to release different genre-based editions of iDrum in the coming months.

iZotope has released iDrum 1.6, a Windows XP/Vista compatible version of its iDrum virtual drum machine software. The update is free for registered iDrum customers.

iDrum turns a Mac or PC into a virtual drum machine. iDrum can utilize users’ customized samples or those from professionally produced libraries. Beats in iDrum can be created from its internal step sequencer or by playing a MIDI controller, electronic drum kit, or even a QWERTY keyboard.

iDrum runs as both a standalone native OS X and Windows application and as a plug-in for Pro Tools, GarageBand, Logic, Ableton Live, SONAR, Cubase and more.

iDrum comes with hundreds of professional drum samples arranged in nearly two hundred files, each with its own preset patterns. Parts, samples, and kits can be mixed and matched. Users can also import their own WAV and AIFF files to build custom kits.

Compatibility:
Standalone, Pro Tools 7 (RTAS), VST, MAS, Audio Units.

Platforms:
Windows Vista, XP Apple OS X 10.4.11 or later (Universal Binary)

Pricing and Availability:
iZotope iDrum is distributed to retail stores by M-Audio and is also available direct from iZotope online for $69.99.

Customers who already own iDrum can download the new PC-compatible version from iZotope’s Web site for no additional charge. This offer is available for all customers including those who buy the boxed version of iDrum from M-Audio resellers.
