Eh. Needs work.

The app overall is relatively easy to navigate. Adjusting different sounds for every single aspect of the kit really opens up the customization of the set you choose to get. I think my only complaint though, which is why I gave it 3 stars for one thing, is that it won’t connect 80% of the time. Really frustrating when I’m trying to dial in what sounds I’m really looking for and want to experiment with.

Doesn’t work

Agree with other reviewers. It takes a minute or two of trying to load a song from itunes and that’s all i want to use it for.

Great app

It works best for me.

App Does Not Work

The issues with this app basically make it unusable. For starters, the app would quit any time I tried to load a song to play along with. This is the key feature of the app, no one cares that you can select your drum kit with the app. The module works for that, but the one functionality that would make it useful doesn’t work. They out out a “fix” and now the song loads and plays through my phone speaker not the headphones. If my parents hadn’t gotten this for me as a present I’d return the whole set. FIX YOUR APP ITS BEEN MONTHS/YEARS IT HASN’T WORKED.

Trash

If you’re gonna advertise the app on the box that the drums come in, make it a better app. The ability to play with songs of your choosing doesn’t work, which would be the only reason this app would be worth even opening. Extremely underwhelming app. Looks like it was put together in 1 day by 1 person.

Play alone feature doesn’t work

Play along does not work. When you select a song it freezes and then crashes. I tried reinstalling multiple times and still won’t work. Hopefully there will be a fix soon.

Hugely disappointing

I have the Simmons 600, but no matter what I do the app will not let me play along with my own music. They say that the new update fixes it, but it doesn’t. One of the only good things the app does, doesn’t even work. It is disappointing, annoying, and a huge waste of time.

Play along

Play along doesn’t work! The most useful feature of the app doesn’t work!

Doesn’t quite work

I have version 1.5.1 and play along will not work at all. I’ve tried multiple times with multiple songs, and even tried deleting and redownloading the app; nothing worked. It also has troubles when I try to connect to my drum set (SD350) and won’t let me alter any sound settings.
It’s really a shame, because I was looking forward to the app with great expectations.

Really good but..

Ok so I finally got my adapter to plug in my device but noticed to play with the song you need Apple Music. I have Spotify and not Apple Music and was wondering if there would be any way to play along through Spotify. So if you are hoping to play through Spotify it doesn’t work rn I guess.

Secondly, I really want to know how to record on it. I tried looking up tutorials on it but couldn’t find anything. I am using garage band for most projects and just want a easy way to record.
