A great collection of DrumGrooves

I have used this wonderful app for practicing and I have encouraged my guitar students to do the same. So many wonderful grooves are contained in this app. I’m just beginning to learn some of the new features of this marvelous new update. The developer is also quick to respond with any fixes that can occur with new updates. I strongly recommend this.

Musically Authentic Grooves For Serious Practice

As a piano teacher and composer of 30 years, I'm picky about the tools I recommend, and Drumgenius is the real thing. These are real recorded drum loops, not generic machine patterns, and they're stylistically accurate, with the nuance and detail that makes it feel like a real drummer. The range is remarkable, from jazz and Latin to world music and odd meters, and the notes and discography references for each loop make it a teaching resource as well as a practice tool.

I chose it for my students because it brings the music to life in a way a metronome never can, and I use it in my own practice for the same reason. The developer is also responsive and keeps the app well maintained, which is rare and much appreciated.

Hi [Name], Thank you so much for the fantastic review! I'm really glad to hear you're finding it such a valuable resource for both your own practice and your students. Thanks again for the great support! Best regards, Mauro

Crazy update after so many years!

Was very pleasantly surprised to see that this had an insane overhaul overnight after using this for years. Incredible features that truely make this the all in one practice app.

I am encountering some strange stutters when using the metronome, hopefully these can be fixed. Keeping this as a 5 star to support these folks regardless cos this work is amazing!

Thank you so much for your support and for using Drumenius for years! I'm the only person behind the app, so a review like yours really means a lot to me. I'm glad you're enjoying the new features. About the MetroGenius stutters: I'd love to look into it. Could you send me a quick email from inside the app (Profile > Help & Support > Contact me) and tell me a bit about when it happens? That will help me fix it. Thanks again! Mauro

Drumgenius’ Fall From Grace

I’ve had Drumgenius for a while, probably a few years now, and just recently purchased the infinite credits pack. Today I opened the app to be greeted by an AI generated home screen icon. Jarring, but not unusual today, so I open the app only to see an obviously vibe coded UI with typos, poorly optimized loading, glitches that jump you back to the top of pages, no settings at all other than disabling screen standby, and the terms of use and privacy policy placed in the CENTER of the profile page. This is the laziest most pathetic cash grab I’ve ever seen. The count in function doesn’t even use the same metronome sound as the metrogenius function, because they literally just prompted Claude to add a count in to their loops and it made its own sound. They do all of this while moving to a predatory subscription model and raising their prices. I would have been completely fine if the developers just said, “listen, times are tough and we aren’t making enough money, we have to raise prices,” but this is insulting to everyone who has supported you and your project, and to all musicians. I regret ever giving you all a single penny.

Response from developer

Hi, I completely understand your frustration if you ran into initial bugs with the v4.0 release (though they are already patched in v4.0.4). However, calling this a 'cash grab' or dismissing it is really unfair to the reality of this project. First of all, every single loop in Drumgenius has been painstakingly programmed by me, note by note, stroke by stroke on a master keyboard over years of work. There is no automated shortcut for transcribing and crafting authentic drum grooves. It is genuinely sad to see an enormous amount of dedicated transcription, musical research, and independent development reduced to insults like that. I've always poured my heart into making this the best possible tool for musicians. If you're willing to give it a fair look, I'm always here by email to help sort out any actual issues you experienced.

First review I've ever felt compelled to write

Guys, this new update is wonderful! I've been using this app for maybe a decade at this point and it's helped me with practicing and teaching. This update is gonna change the game!

I'm especially thankful the developers haven't made you pay an 'update' fee, as I'm still a lifetime member and still get access to the loops in addition to new features.

Many many props and thanks to all working on this. Imo every drummer and musician should be using this.

Thank you so much for the incredible feedback! Hearing from someone who has been using the app for nearly a decade really means the world to me. Just a quick fun fact: there isn't actually a big team behind it—it's just me working as a one-man project, building and coding everything myself! Knowing that lifetime supporters like you appreciate the updates and new features makes all the late nights entirely worth it. Thanks a million for the stellar support, and keep up the fantastic work with your practicing and teaching! Best regards, Mauro

Sadly busted

I was sad to leave a bad review but the app appears to be stale and have problems. All of the loops have some issue in the playback with a load of noise coming through and are unusable after purchase. I tried to leave a support message but after writing it up on the website it spits out an error when attempting to submit. Seems like a great app but sadly now doesn’t work and unable to leave the developer feedback.

Outstanding rhythm, time and groove development tool!

I can’t recommend Drumgenius strongly enough as an outstanding, fun, tool and resource to complement one’s usage of a standard metronome. For what you get (for the cost of two or three cups of coffee)…having access to this entire groove library is hard to BEAT! (Pun intended :-)

“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.

Crashes all the time

I really really thought I had found my dream drum loop practice tool. The loops and range of rhythms and styles is fantastic. I especially love that the songs and drummers the grooves are from are also listed. But the app crashes like crazy. If I adjust the tempo on a track, it crashes. And then no matter how many times I quit and re-open or pick a different loop, it crashes. If you only ever want to hear samples at the original bpm, it’s fine I guess. But as a practice tool it’s not useful.

I sincerely apologize for the delayed reply! Uninstall Drumgenius. Log out of the Apple ID on your device and then log back in. Install the latest version of Drumgenius. Open the Drumgenius app, go to the Store page, and use the Restore function to recover your loops. Once done, please let me know by writing to batbass@libero.it. Thank you! Mauro Battisti

Keeps crashing/More Tony Williams

Love the app, but it’s missing some medium-uptempo swing tracks from Tony Williams. Also it crashes everytime I leave the app and come back to it

Improves my play!

Seems like I’ve had this app forever. Use it to fine tune my rhythm skills. I play lap steel and a bit of a hack, but trying out various genres - especially the world beats - has made me a better player. Updates are superb.
