About

Auto drum machine

Features
Read full description

Auto Drum Machine is unique, because it has sound variations for snares, kicks, hi-hats, percussion, claps and snaps. Also Auto Drum Machine offers a user three different UI themes to chose from. The drum machine has tempo settings(bpm, beats per minute). I've made this app paid, because I don't like to watch Ads in the apps, also a child who uses your mobile device is safe when you buy a paid app, because you know for sure the child will not proceed with an expensive in-app purchase or will not be redirected to an ad. I created the drum machine for myself in the first place. The goal of auto drum machine is too me beginner-friendly. It has great sounds and audio. It offers enough configurations for new and experienced musicians. Also it saves the drum machine grid changes on every click, so your work is auto-saved for you by every click. Please buy my drum machine and leave a feedback. I hope this app will serve you well for a long time.
