An electronic device designed to sequence sounds (kick drum, snare, etc.) to a pattern. Drum machines commonly have only 4 measures (with 4 beats). Drum machines are most commonly used by hip-hop and techno producers.
I just sequenced a kick drum on the first beat of each measure and a snare drum to the last two beats of the measure on my drum machine.

I tried the shocker after I gave her a french horn but what really kicked up the tempo was the five finger drum machine.

Thomas: Yo I just got a female drum machine in my house. It sounds so awesome and satisfying
John: what do you mean
Thomas: so if I hit her boobs with my drumstick it will make a squishy sound if I hit her in the ass it will make a bass drum sound if hit her in the the stomach it will make a snare drum sound.
John: damn I wish I had one
