### 2/5 — Rock drum machine lite

*2025-04-05*

I can choose one rythme or two from every list not more…every rythme is more technical and noisy than the other ,that is all …! Sorry I don’t know if I must say it or not. The world of the rock is a lot wider than that…

**Developer response:** Hi art is first,
Thank you for the honest feedback! The Lite version offers a curated selection of rhythms to give you a taste of what Rock Drum Machine has to offer,  the full version unlocks a much wider library of rock grooves, from classic to progressive styles, giving you a lot more to explore.
We hear you on the variety, rock is indeed a wide world, and that's exactly what the full app aims to reflect!
Thank you for your review.
