Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Install the "Beat Maker" Alexa skill on your Amazon device, say "Alexa, open beat maker" to get a 3-word pairing code, then enter it at drummy.io/alexa. Once paired, you can control the drum machine hands-free with voice commands in English or Spanish.
You need any Alexa-compatible device (Echo, Echo Dot, Echo Show, Fire TV, etc.) to install and use the Beat Maker skill. The pairing code is spoken by Alexa — you type it on your computer or tablet browser at drummy.io/alexa to link the devices.
The Beat Maker skill includes a 6-day free trial. After the trial, a one-time purchase is required. This helps us keep developing the AI drum machine and voice features.
