Complete waste of time. For every two drum hits, I got ad-bombed. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t even play sound *2019-04-23, version 2.0.9* Every time you hit it, it loads an ad. Don’t waste your time, download something else. ### 1/5 — Trash *2017-09-11, version 1.2* Trash doesn't even open it turns black and kicks me out ### 1/5 — Ads, Ads, more Ads *2017-05-27, version 1.2* Crap. ### 1/5 — Help *2016-10-10, version 1.2* I can't even use the app???!!! ### 1/5 — Doesn't even sound real! *2016-09-17, version 1.2* You could really tell that the developers took five minutes and threw it together to make a quick buck ### 1/5 — Totally fake, does not work, just a lure for ads *2016-05-10* Does not work. Right after installing, the app screen shrinks and you are left with the option of either clicking on ads or on a Help link which brings you to a website for purchasing more apps. I regret installing it and deleted soon after. ### 1/5 — Complete scam *2016-01-17, version 1.2* The app is gaming the system for its creators profit. The creators of the app must have had fake accounts spam 5 star reviews and downloads to boost this apps popularity. The app spams you with full page advertisements that inevitably lead to accidental clicks. Just report the app and delete; or better yet don't even download it. ### 2/5 — Needs work.. *2016-05-13, version 1.2* The frequency of the full screen ads popping up while I was drumming was a little too much. Also had some issues with the app using the full screen of my 6s Plus. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great *2016-07-12, version 1.2* Wish I could actually drum as good as this app let's me. ### 5/5 — Solid Drum Sounds! *2016-07-09, version 1.2* The drums are cool and the sound is on point looking forward to the recording feature.
