AGAIN. This is ridiculous. Please contact me. ### 1/5 — Rubbish can’t email audio and paid full price *2018-08-28* I paid full price for this app and doesn’t email audio even though it says it should ### 3/5 — Could be slightly better *2016-09-23* It's a great app to just smash some good sounding drums on... and the create your own kits is a godsend with all the equipment... butttttt there isn't enough hi-hats you just get to select the ones from the already sets which are alright but need a lot of tweeking to get the right sound, and there could be better sounding toms and snares "more indie rock for example" like blocks and shakers could be better for that genre. ### 2/5 — Good but one thing *2016-03-13, version 1.0* Really guys? Putting the game on iPhone is great but you have to get a full version for 8 dollors. I'm pretty sure the iPad version is free ### 2/5 — For returning Drum Canvas Users..... *2015-11-12, version 1.0* The old Drum Canvas app that I had to pay for is now unavailable to download so you have to buy this one to get all the features "Drum Canvas" already had for way more than I bought the old version for. Yes there are new features, but if you had Drum Canvas before you're never getting it back and you lost money. There isn't app support for this yet, instead it's a go daddy website domain for now.....cool ### 5/5 — Drums XD EXPLOSIVE GAME BUT!!! *2015-06-02* I would like you put it on the iPod Touch Generation 5 is now his sick is that you can done that! 😜 ## Frequently asked questions about Drums XD FREE ### What is Drums XD FREE?
