Virtual Drummer is UJAM’s series of drum-focused virtual instruments for producers and songwriters making tracks in a DAW on macOS or Windows. Each title combines sampled drum kits with genre-oriented styles, MIDI phrases, presets and mix controls. It is suited to writers who want a starting point for drum parts organized around a style, with the option to edit or export the resulting MIDI rather than relying only on rendered audio.

The workflow centers on arranging and shaping drum material: phrases can be dragged into a DAW as MIDI or sent through direct MIDI output, while multiple audio outputs allow individual mixing of kit elements. Customizable instrument channels, built-in mix presets and master-section controls provide ways to adjust the sound within the instrument. UJAM lists compatibility with Ableton Live, Logic Pro, Pro Tools, FL Studio, Cubase, Studio One, Bitwig, Reaper and Reason. Installation and authorization are handled through the UJAM App, with standalone installers available for macOS and Windows.

Pricing is a one-time $119 for an Individual title, with a seven-day free trial. That purchase covers a single title; the Drummer’s Bundle costs $199 one time and includes seven drummers, 35 drum kits, 301 styles and 895 presets. The series’ title-specific sounds and styles make it a fit for producers who want genre-oriented parts and MIDI flexibility without assembling every drum element from scratch. Those seeking a broader drum-production feature set may prefer an alternative; Virtual Drummer’s appeal is its focused, title-based approach.

Virtual Drummer pros and cons

  • Where it wins
    • Genre styles and MIDI phrases help shape drum parts.
    • Export MIDI by drag and drop or send it directly to a DAW.
    • Multiple audio outputs support mixing individual kit elements.
  • Where it doesn't
    • Individual titles are a one-time $119 purchase.
    • The individual-title purchase covers only one drummer.
    • Its focus is narrower than a full-featured drum production tool.
