Does not work with current audiobus 3

Great little app! Connects via MIDI quickly

Great app, connects to the iPad via Bluetooth quickly and it is just so much fun to play the bass drum and cymbal with the iPhone in my sock or on the floor with bare feet.

Cool concept that works!

This great drum app looks and sounds awesome! It's a cool feature to be able to put the phone in my sock and then play the (drum)kick while playing on the iPad via Bluetooth. And now it has AudioBus support! Sweeet!

Great update!

Fast response from the developer who fixed the MIDI in issue with some of the notes. It works great, now.

The only cure... is more cowbell!

I love that there's a tunable cowbell. My kids love it, too. DrumKick is a lot of fun. No more worrying about my neighbors when we play the drums at night. :)
