Ratings and reviews

this is the most incredible app ever for laying down some ideas. I was looking for something to make some basic beats to write on guitar with. no ads, or pop ups or sign ups or anything that gets in the way of the user experience. thanks folks! Also, I can push this to a bluetooth speaker and still use the phone to record voice memos to capture the creative process. double win!

This is a great little app. The one thing that would make it perfect for me would be an additional interface to play the kit live by tapping screen graphics (eg a pic of the kit, as some other apps do). I know you can do this by tapping the drum names at left of screen, but they're very small! Otherwise perfect for my needs.

Best free drum app I've tried by far. Usually, it's a struggle to make a beat beyond basic, but with this app, I could see it being difficult to not get carried away and make it too complex to play along to. Very easy to use. Within a few minutes of messing around with it, I had it figured out. Surprised there's no other reviews on this, honestly. Only suggestion I can think of is to add a jazz kit only because I love the sound. The kits included do sound very good, thoughand realistic too.
