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. ### 4/5 — Funcional *2023-01-15, version 5.1* Funcional, fácil y rápida. ### 4/5 — Great! Especially for the price! *2022-09-06, version 5.0* This is a great rhythm section. Free! Easy to use! I love it! ### 4/5 — Beat *2022-08-27* Cool beat system, too expensive ### 5/5 — Muito bom *2022-08-24* Pra app gratuito, ele da muita possibilidades pra criar loops misturando grooves e criando algo mais original. No Meu caso, eu copio os padrões e crio uma versão inteira pras musicas na DAW. Curti mto, há tempos eu vinha procurando algo assim! ### 2/5 — Not working in AUM *2022-08-13, version 5.0* Will not load to an audio channel, error every time, suggested resolution is confusing and does not solve the issue. Awesome otherwise…… ### 5/5 — Лучше чем барабанщик *2022-08-07* Круто очень ### 5/5 — The best *2022-07-14, version 5.0* Been looking for a drum app a dunderhead like me could understand and herd it is . It’s like. None drummer wrote the interface for people like me . Highly recommended ### 5/5 — Крутое приложение *2022-06-12* Можно играть одному ### 5/5 — Easy to use *2022-06-11, version 5.0* Very easy to use app…. Even to a beginner like me ### 5/5 — 24 more bars *2022-06-03, version 5.0* Hey …not only is it worth it right there but’ I really love the variety offered by this little app with the BIG sound . Good job . Henry Slater. ### 5/5 — Great starting point *2022-05-17, version 5.0* There is just enough in the free version to get you going and with the exception of a few un-realistic crash cymbals after fills [ which can be disabled] I think the sample quality is excellent and I will use for a bit longer before I buy but this is up there with hardware drum machines costing 20 times the price. Recommended ### 5/5 — Fun *2022-04-19, version 5.0* Better than using a metronome! ### 5/5 — Круто но дорого *2022-04-04* Крутая драм машина, можно репать без барабанщика, накидывать свои треки во вкладке "song" ### 5/5 — impressivo *2022-03-27, version 5.0* Очень хорошие программы. Very good program. Programma çox eyidir. ### 4/5 — Not bad *2022-03-26, version 5.0* Not a bad jam app ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Ios26 *2025-09-30, version 5.1* iOS 26 whiped all drummer apps from Inter-App Audio waawaa ### 1/5 — Sound not real *2024-06-17, version 5.1* Sound is not good for change tempo ### 1/5 — Не понравилось *2023-10-27* На каждом iPhone есть бесплатный Garage band с барабанами лучше чем у вас , зачем вам платить Люди используйте Garage Band **Developer response:** You have infinitely more possibilities, options, and flexibility with a Rock Drum Machine. But the choice is yours 😎 ### 1/5 — Stand-alone only? *2022-08-06, version 5.0* I thought about trying this out and then buying the full version. but if it’s stand-alone only like this appears to be, it’s no good to me. It doesn’t work in AUM and yes I did open it before trying to insert it as an inter app audio, but it’s not compatible. I tried all the usual tricks, including uninstalling and reinstalling and I’m not going to waste £15.99 on the full version. ### 1/5 — Приложение удалилось из телефона *2021-10-18* Примерно год назад купил платную версию приложения. Это стоило довольно дорого. Сегодня не нашёл его в своём телефоне. Попробовал скачать заново, но оказалось, что мне снова надо его купить. Это нормально? Так и должно быть? Не нашёл возможности для обратной связи с разработчиком ### 1/5 — Trash *2021-02-10, version 5.0* Piece of trash of an app. Terrible just awful. GARBAGE ### 1/5 — Don’t bother *2020-04-25, version 5.0* This isn’t a “lite” version of anything! It’s barely an interactive ad. Frankly, I find it less useful than the video and screenshots above. If you really want to find out what the full version is all about, this app won’t help. It LOOKS like there’s a lot of features and sound/groove options, but it only gives you 16 bars to try it - that’s about 1/2 a minute - and then it stops playing and dumps you into a splash screen asking you to upgrade. If you want to try another 16 bars, you have to go back to the main screen, restart the loop, then rush back to where you were to try something else. It’s cumbersome as hell, and a TERRIBLE way to showcase software. I got this yesterday, before an update added the stupid 16 bar limit, and was pretty impressed with the few things I was allowed to try. I was even thinking of buying the full version. Now, I find the lack of goodwill from the devs has put a sour taste in my mouth, and I don’t particularly want to deal with them anymore. Sorry dev team, you were SO close to making a sale. You can keep the (insulting) 8 bar bonus you tried bribing me with to write this review - I’m writing it for free, and then leaving to find more accommodating people to give my money to. Thanks anyway ### 1/5 — No audio background mode *2020-04-19, version 5.0* I really wanted to like this app, but it is useless without an audio background mode. ### 1/5 — Broken and no way to contact developer *2019-05-06, version 5.0* Will not open in programs that support inter app audio or wont open in audiobus either. Developer doesn’t have anyway to contact them on website. Buyer beware as can’t get help or refund. ### 1/5 — Useless *2019-01-24, version 5.0* You only get 16 bars continous without paying ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Cool app *2025-08-14, version 5.1* I’m really enjoying this app ### 5/5 — Hats off app *2025-04-26* Use first time amazing ….. for live action show ### 5/5 — It’s a powerhouse. *2023-02-24, version 5.1* Another great drum app from Lumbeat! ### 5/5 — Tremendos *2023-01-01, version 5.1* Muy guapo ### 5/5 — Drum apps *2022-11-19, version 5.0* Very good drum apps i like it very much but its limited on trial version❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️✌️✌️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️✌️✌️✌️✌️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ ### 5/5 — Perfect app! *2022-10-17, version 5.0* No tapping drums, no building! Just doing!!! Love it. ### 5/5 — Wow *2022-10-14, version 5.0* What a great app I love it so much it’s one of the best drum apps it’s too bad you have to pay but that’s OK ### 5/5 — Great app *2022-09-27, version 5.0* Love this drum machine. Very easy to play. ### 5/5 — Very epic *2022-09-21, version 5.0* I’m just doing this for the 24 bars ### 5/5 — Real drums in the pocket *2022-09-11, version 5.0* There’s no better app. Sounds like a real drum set with real drummer behind it. Really good accompaniment for practicing with guitar. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
