Description of Drumgenius

Play along with the greatest drummers in the world and improve your knowledge of rhythm. Drumgenius (only Infinite Credits pack) includes Metrogenius: the smart Metronome, with "clave" and "swing regulator"! Drumgenius (created by a musician for musicians) is the first encyclopedia of drum grooves (500 loops from Jazz to Rock) as played by the masters of drums: a unique tool for any musician that wants to practice with an amazing expert virtual drummer, to develop time-feel and to expand the knowledge of any kind of rhythm, from the basic to the most complex one! The loops (stretchable) are accompanied by useful descriptions and discography references. The special "clave" button helps to go deep into the nature of different rhythms. ▶"Mauro Battisti has made it possible for anyone to play along with the greatest drummers in the world, historical and contemporary, with the ability to alter tempo. Drumgenius is a great resource that can bring any player closer to the flame.” (Dave Liebman) ▶ "Drumgenius sounds very good; I find it very handy to practice my instrument with real drums pattern that I can have always with me in my phone: thanks Mauro for this App." Dominique Di Piazza - Electric bass player (John McLaughling, Trilok Gurtu, Bireli Lagrene, Dennis Chambers) ▶ "Love this app: these loops sound fantastic! They are real drum loops – not midi or sequences – and they loop flawlessly. In addition to being a fantastic groove reference for drummers (or musicians of any kind), I think this app is fantastic for groove development as a bassist." Damian Erskine - Electric bass player (Peter Erskine, The Jaco Pastorius Big Band, Gino Vannelli, Tony Furtado), studio musician, author of bass method book series, adjunct Professor at both Portland State University and Marylhurst University – USA. ▶ “Drumgenius is a world-class teaching aid that addresses a fundamental challenge to successful performance practice for any musician: is a virtuoso educational work by a true musical virtuoso!” Harold Danko - Jazz pianist (Lee Konitz, Chet Baker, Thad Jones & Mel Lewis big band) and composer .

Reviews of Drumgenius

  • Lack of any real hip hop/rap beats is disappointing

    Im a jazz/r&b/fusion guitarist. I play to tons of styles of music. This app holds it down for almost all styles. But the lack of anything modern sounding is pretty embarrassing for an app called Drumgenius. I would change my review if there were more than 3 decent hip hop/ rap beats. Really, the genre is as vast as jazz, the number of beats should reflect that. This app acts like the one stop stop for drum loops and that’s true if you play jazz, but it’s not advertised as a jazz app.

    Nothing robert glasper type, or j dilla type.

    Its so disappointing especially because everything else sounds great, why not improve the hip hop/ rap section?? It kinda makes it feel like the developers don’t see that as real music.

    Developer Response

    My friend! My name is Mauro Battisti, Drumgenius creator. I personally select, transcribe and realize all the loops with a midi keyboard. You're right, but the fact is that the most of rhythm tied with hip-hop are samples or realized with electronic drum samplers. My idea was to create an encyclopedia of rhythms played by humans. The same complain could be done for the lackness of techno, psy trance, deep-house etc. I love hip-hop but I feel to realize the rhythms with an 'acoustic real drum' doesn't give the real 'feel' (I just put a few of them). DJ Jilla, an amazing visionary, used cut and paste sampled rhythms and 'waves' without thinking about quantization, creating an amazing music landscape...I'm not interested in reproducing that with an acoustic drum. My obsession for rhythm (any rhythm/style and any aspect of rhythm) and my knowledge of rhythm after more than 40years of study and exploration made me decide like that. A big hug and W La Musica Mauro
  • Best drum loops

    I love this app! There are endless applications when it comes to using this app to practice. However, note to the developer: I’m not sure if it’s the most recent update causing it but lately the app is not working at all for me. When I hit play on a loop, nothing happens and it’s stuck at 0. I’ve restarted the app and my phone and it’s still happening. Please help!
  • Versatile 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)
