  • Better and better

    These LumBeat Drummer apps have been slowly pulling me in over a couple years and I’ve got a few now and find myself just jamming or using them for inspiration quite often. The stability improvements and enhancements have been adding up and I’m really digging this app in 2024, although I gotta be honest and say Hip-Hop drummer is still in the lead but that could change … great work on these!

  • Another excellent drummer app from Lumbeat

    I own various lumbeat apps, including hip-hop, Middle East, Indian, Reggae, and future drummer. They are all excellent, and offer a well-simulated experience of jamming with a drummer. I like using the mixer to isolate one or two drums, and then sending the beat to mix with another drummer for a unique kit. Thanks Luis! Keep up the great work!!

  • Unable to share grooves as advertised

    Owning several Lumbeat apps, I purchased Future drummer to be able to share grooves with the other drummers (ie Indian drummer, Mid East drummer), which was advertised as possible after the most recent update. But it seems like the version of FD I purchased does NOT include the recent update. When I click the side arrow to allow a groove to be shared, an opaque box appears in the upper left for a few seconds, then disappears. No option to share grooves. Seems like the wrong file was uploaded. I sent two emails to the developer, but have not received a response. Disappointing.

  • Best-in-Class Drum Machine Apps

    The ability to set 3-8 steps-per-beat-- on each individual beat of any track (!!!)-- is very rare in drum machines. Gives you incredible freedom!

    The fills functions in all these apps is staggeringly good. Very natural sounding and fun. Some serious mojo going on in the programming.

    I wish the song mode allowed you to store a tempo with each "part".

    I wish Lumbeat would create an app called "MIDI Drummer". It would have up to 16 tracks (with selectable MIDI output/channel), and would use this same rhythmic structure, but instead of 4 hit types, would allow you to choose a MIDI note and velocity for each step.

  • Love this so much!

    The LumBeat drum engine is amazing. It’s like working with a great session player who takes your ideas into bigger, better dimensions. Now with MIDI and audio export, plus some cricial bug fixes, it is an astounding bargain.
  • Great fun

    Lumbeat being IAA and not AUv3 led me to overlook these apps. They’re worth the money…you can get a great mix of control and randomness, and it sounds good. Lumbeat apps and patterning 2 are the drum apps that I use that are not AUv3.
  • Amazing

    I own four apps from Lumbeat, and they are simply amazing. Most drum machines lock you in to repetitiveness. Not Lumbeat.

    I do wish for auv3 and better midi handling, like iBassist in AUM. But regardless, these apps make up for my lack, and for that I adore them. They are like having a real drummer.

  • Must Have

    Sounds are supreme. Simplicity is the city where inspiration is the capital. The lowest fruit is the future of drumming. When my brother (who is my normal drummer gets an attitude) I turn to the future.
  • 10 years gone by

    I have a lot of drum machines apps, but this one always seems to be my immediate go to when I’m doing live shows are busking with my guitar. It’s not complicated, and it works.
    I just wish the lifetime unlock price were a little more reasonable. At least I can hide all of them :-)
