About Rock Drum Machine: Real Drums
Rock Drum Machine is a rock drummer in your pocket. It does not loop a recording: it plays like a drummer, adding ghost notes, open hi-hats and fills that change every time. Practice, write songs and play live with drums that feel alive. FREE TO START Rock Drum Machine is free to explore for 7 days with access to all features. Some actions are limited during the trial (exports, random grooves, sound changes and bars per session). After the trial, keep playing with limited features. Unlock the full version with a one-time purchase, no subscription. The full version unlocks the app and the Rock DM drummer. Mike and John are extra drummers, sold separately. Already own Rock DM? Your full version stays unlocked. Nothing to buy again. A DRUMMER THAT JAMS • JAM and INTENSITY: go from a steady beat to a busy, improvising drummer • Fills of variable length that come in the way a drummer would play them, with triplet fills and double bass drum • Automatic fills every few bars, or fire them yourself • Humanize, from Perfect to Drunk ROCK, FROM CLASSIC TO ODD TIMES • 114 grooves and 70 fills in 6 banks: Rock, Grunge, FunkRock, Shuffle, Progressive and Odd Times • 65 real drum sounds, most recorded in three dynamic layers: ghost, normal and accent • 25 factory kits plus two round-robin kits, Stage RR and Vintage RR • Create or edit your own grooves in Edit Mode and Patterns Mode, and save them in your own banks PRACTICE, WRITE, PERFORM • Song Mode: chain grooves and fills into full songs • 8 Live Pads: switch grooves and fire fills on the fly, with a countdown to the change • Portrait layout on iPhone, so it sits on your music stand • Mixer with volume, pan and reverb send for every drum • Four effects: Compressor / Gate, Equalizer, Delay and Reverb • External keyboard support: Space to play and stop, Enter for a fill IN YOUR STUDIO • AUv3 plug-in, plus a new MIDI-only plug-in to drive any other drum instrument • Sound Module: play the kit as a MIDI sampler from your pads or keyboard • MIDI Setup: independent MIDI Clock in and out, MIDI-controllable tempo, shareable maps • Send and receive grooves and Live Pad Sets with the other Lumbeat drummers and iBassist • Share a groove or a song by AirDrop, Mail or Files • Export full audio, multitrack stems and MIDI • Ableton Link and MIDI Clock sync MORE DRUMMERS Mike (Progressive Rock, with heavier, metal-style fills) and John (Classic Rock) are available as separate in-app purchases, each with their own kit and playing style. They are not included in the full version. Requires iOS 16 or later.
