### 4/5 — JUST WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR

*2012-09-04, version 1.0*

Love this app. The pads are very responsive with no lag. I've downloaded other midi drum-pad apps but they only had the small pads and I wanted something with pads big enough to actually use and that would fill the iPad screen. Absolutely love this app; played it for hours. The perfect iPad wireless midi drum controller. Would have given 5 stars if there were a way to change the midi channel, but for $1.99 I haven't found anything in its class as far as large responsive pads are concerned. Love it!
