### 1/5 — Riddled with ads

*2018-03-09*

Every time you touch a drum you get a minimum 15 second advert pop up. Not worth downloading. 👎

### 1/5 — Off

*2014-12-23*

It keeps turning off

### 1/5 — What Happened?!!!

*2014-09-09, version 2.7.31*

There was a time when this app actually worked and didn't crash immediately after opening.  So, what happened?

### 1/5 — Crashes:/

*2014-08-09, version 2.7.31*

It will not let you even open the app it crashes every time I go to open it. 

I wouldn't recommend this app at all 

Rate- 1 ( if I could I wouldn't even rate this a one )

### 1/5 — Sound not much?

*2014-02-08*

What the H*LL is wrong with the sound? At the loudest volume the drums are almost SILENT. Of course when I turned on acdc live at river plate it was loud as SH*T. Don't bother with this.

### 5/5 — Drums

Closed hi hat does not choke the open hi hat. Sounds are mediocre at best. Not worth even downloading.
