5/5Versatile and Interesting!
Amazing app! It is the best app I use to practice improvisation on my keyboard. It has a ton of different styles and meters to choose from which makes it an amazing option when practicing. Furthermore, many drum rhythms include the option to listen to the clave which makes it useful to follow along especially in the odd-meters. Even more I love that the built-in metronome includes rhythms and not only a unison click. Though I would love the option to create completely new rhythms for the metronome, not just modify existing ones!! (Ex. a 21/8 meter with custom rhythm)

5/5“Inspired to practice”
This Drummond rhythm app is one of the most resourceful and inspiring applications that I’ve ever worked with plus the different histories from where the drum rhythms came from the different patterns. It’s quite informing thank you so very much. I’ve had this for a couple of years now and there’s so many tools as a songwriter that I can lean to… I was wondering if there are any new beats or do you have Amapiano that you might add one day other than that thank you very much for an awesome songwriting tool and these times where I use this live rehearsals and performances… Thanks.

2/5Not So Impressed
I bought the full version of this app thinking I’d get all the flexibility I was hoping for. I have a good Internet connection at home. So I was surprised when I started previewing tunes the thing would just sit there and say “listening“. It’s pretty frustrating when you have hundreds of tracks at your disposal and find that it’s all but impossible to preview them efficiently. Guessing the server could use an upgrade. So then when I successfully downloaded a few I started to realize that songs that I know we’re sampled for only brief instance of the main groove. So whatever flavor you would expect from a song; you’ll be sorely disappointed when you find that the loop lasts 4 seconds. The app is great for ideas on odd time signatures. Live and learn.

4/5sure beats metronome; needs combining feature
I think this is a great app, i use it every day during my warm-up session on chord scales, the only thing I think could be added to this for little effort but huge benefit would be a way to combine the patterns so that we’re not just listening to the same two measures but rather have the ability to take three or four of the patterns and specify an order for them and maybe number of measures before it switches to the next one, that way no additional transcribing needs to be done but rather just a way to combine them and of course they would all be subject to the same tempo. Other than that I think it’s great and I’m glad it’s here and I hope you make a lot of money and make some good friends.

5/5Better than my drummer
Drumgenius is fantastic! It’s very easy to find the loop you want from its large catalog; and the feel is awesome, I literally can’t stop jamming to it. The Drumgenius loops have a very human, natural feel--not mechanical at all. Much better than any drum machine; and frankly, it’s better than most drummers I’ve played with over that last 40 years! As stated by many great musicians, such as Michael Breker and Pat Metheny, having good time is an essential skill for every musician. Play any notes you like, but phrase them well, and it sounds nice. Drumgenius is the perfect App to help a musician develop this vital skill of “good time!” Metronomes are fine, but Drumgenius is fun and educational. The diverse collection of awesome loops provides a fantastic practice tool for the serious Jazz improvisationalist, and the developer is extremely responsive. He responded to my question in less than 10 minutes! The software performs flawlessly, you will not be disappointed!
