### 1/5 — Another worthless drum app

*2023-07-02*

You can’t even create loops, for, you have only the pad to play. And there’s a half second delay from the time you touch until the sound is heard; thus, rendering this worthless

### 3/5 — Free rock kit doesn’t work...can you please fix it or make it purchasable

*2023-02-24*

I’ve purchased all the other kits

### 4/5 — Its a good app, but needs midi

*2023-01-15*

it has excellent timbres and innovated in creating separate intensity layers, but for the app to become perfect it would need to have a midi implementation, as it is the first app that I see with potential to be used with drum midi controllers.  Each piece of drums could be separated and set to a certain midi note and the velocity layers would define the different intensities (like addictive drummers for pc).

### 1/5 — Drum pad pro review internet connection error

*2018-11-18*

I was contemplating buying the Gretsch, disco and vintage rock add ins, then I noticed I can’t get the “basic rock” kit to load.  It kept saying internet connection error.

I uninstalled, reinstalled and decided this looks like an issue the developers need to fix first before I put money in an app with issues.  I’m using an 9.7 iPad Pro.

Whenever I had issues like these, the app developer abandons his app after iOS updates leaving his customers disappointed.

### 1/5 — とてもプロとは言えない

*2018-04-01, version 1.2*

連打したら音切れ起こすとかって、とてもプロと言えるようなものではないね。
これ使うよりもガレージバンドの方が断然良いわね。

### 5/5 — Excellent!

*2017-08-01, version 1.2*

This is an awesome music app, i am used to acoustic and traditional music when I tried and heard this, this sound like traditional or real drum set. I will recommend this to my fellow musician.

### 5/5 — Easy to use drums App

*2017-07-30, version 1.2*

User friendly. Very good sound quality. Sounds very natural. Beautiful layout.

### 5/5 — Perfect Drummer App

*2017-06-05*

Easy to play. High quality sounds. Modern and Mapex rock kit are awesome.

### 5/5 — Free kit. And more

*2017-05-02*

Love this new update. Made everything accessible to thumbs (well my thumbs at least.) Quicker response in transitions..and yes: Free kit to boot!

### 5/5 — Amazing! Finally, a serious drums app.

*2017-05-02*

Awesome sounds. Best and most useful drums app we've tried so far. Serious audio quality and ease of use. Sounds even better than our Yamaha DD65 electronic drum pads. Highly recommended.

Great update! Thanks for considering our suggestions. We look forward to more features.

Maybe recording capabilities would be good.
