### 5/5 — This app is awesome

*2022-11-21, version 1.0*

I love this drum app but the sound needs to be fixed

### 5/5 — The Best

*2015-06-09, version 1.0*

I've been using this app on iPad for quite a while and was very happy to see it available for iPhone. It comes with a number of drum sounds and I finally found the sounds I like, which is always difficult. The layout can be configured any way you choose, which actually makes it playable. It's a little pricey compared to other drum apps but worth so much more than those.
