### 3/5 — update please.

*2013-02-21*

you can't hear drums over music please sort out then I will give you 5 stars.

### 2/5 — Crashing :'(

*2012-12-02*

It used to work perfect

### 1/5 — Drummer

*2012-08-04, version 2.6.43*

It doesn't work. It used to work, before they added the ability to choose a song from your iTunes (which you could already do before, just not in the same window). How can they make an app available to download that doesn't work?

### 1/5 — not working

*2012-07-27*

this app and the other drum apps made by this company fo not work on my ipod:(

### 1/5 — Doesn't work

*2012-07-25, version 2.6.43*

Bad interface, doesn't work, has error codes surfaced on screen. Wouldn't stop playing music, even after quitting. Drum sounds non-existent.

### 1/5 — Awful

*2012-07-10*

This is an awful drum kit that does not allow you to actually play a virtual drum. What it allows you to do is to listen to your music and tap at a drum like a mindless idiot without making any actual noise.

### 4/5 — Dosnt work

*2012-06-04*

I played my friends and it was great can u fix the bug?!?

### 3/5 — Miss

*2012-05-28, version 2.6.42*

I thought it was good but I think it should have like a tutorial on the song you wanted to play to.

### 2/5 — :/

*2012-04-26, version 2.6.41*

The open HH gets annoying. & it's nothing like a drum set & it's kinda hard 2 switch. & I'm a drummer!!! Oh & the drummers out there will know wat I mean by its hard 2 switch.

### 4/5 — Gud

*2012-04-16*

Its is a very good app and simulation

### 1/5 — Complete waste of time

*2012-04-05*

I tell you what, I'm truly glad that this app was free. I bought it thinking that I could finally drum along to my songs, and then the drums didn't even make any sound. I'm seething.

### 3/5 — Ok

*2012-04-05*

Its ok, but it needs to stay the same volume even when you put a song on!
Overall it's good!! :-)

### 1/5 — Laggy on a 4S!

*2012-04-02*

It struggles to keep up with even a slow rhythm. The advert is very intrusive.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work for me

*2012-03-29*

Only 1 of the free drum kits has any graphics... The other 2 just have rectangles on the screen representing the drums.  I got no drum sounds at all while trying to play along with a song

### 4/5 — Ok...

*2012-03-27*

Loved it until the update came out

### 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.

### 1/5 — Keeps crashing

*2013-07-06*

U s
Cant even play the drums

### 1/5 — Not a fan.

*2013-05-04*

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

### 1/5 — Loading....something

*2013-02-05, version 2.7*

It's trying to load something and the instantly asks if I want to play hobbit online....straight to delete with this piece of trash! I give it a star just so people can see its bad.

### 1/5 — Sound is missing.

*2012-09-26*

Where is the sound? If you can't make noise, it's not a drum kit!

### 1/5 — Awful app

*2012-08-27*

Guy's this app doesn't work it doesn't even deserve a star.
