### 5/5 — Nice

*2026-07-23, version 3.5.2*

Easy to play

### 2/5 — I can't hear the metronome

*2026-06-28, version 3.5.1*

I’m happy playing drums with this APP. But I can’t hear the metronome in the play mode. The music is too loud. And the volume setting only affects the sheet mode. I hope you can fix this problem.

### 3/5 — A little too hard

*2026-05-08, version 3.5.0*

It isn’t accurate I got 0 right and it said I got 83%

### 3/5 — 譜面bug

*2026-04-23, version 3.5.0*

近期更新的歌很多譜的呈現都有問題，請改善

### 1/5 — Premium is not available

*2026-04-16, version 3.5.0*

Really good app where my 8 year old is loving her electric drums. BUT membership / premium upgrade not possible as it fails to load up the upgrade element of app.

Meaning my daughter is only playing ‘hit me baby one more time’ - quite annoying.

Have left feedback 1 week ago and still waiting to hear back.

### 5/5 — 初学

*2026-04-11, version 3.5.0*

👍

### 1/5 — Every song is incomplete

*2026-03-08, version 3.4.1*

I don’t understand why you charge so much to have each song cutoff

### 4/5 — 喜欢

*2026-02-06*

自从学鼓后，一直在用这个软件练习，但有个问题一直没解决，链接了电鼓，只显示踩镲，吊擦和强音擦，没有叮叮擦显示，软件显示只有3个擦片，需要开发人员解决一下叮叮擦的问题啊，另外很多耳熟能详的中文歌曲太少，比如战马，西游记、春节序曲这些老歌能补一下吗？ 感谢🙏

### 4/5 — Songs

*2026-01-31*

Songs are added every 15 days. I already asked for about 10 songs (all classic rock or pop from 90s) and got not even one in 3 months. I paid the yearly subscription and I don't think after a year I will continue, since more than 80% of the songs are unknown. On top of that, some songs have very motonous scores or even half of the song is drumless (like recently one added "hello" from Adele).
Besides that the app itself has a great product idea: score with different difficulty levels and e-drums connection to verify correct playing and real comercial songs. If they fix the songs thing (add more and faster) I wil stay.

### 5/5 — I love this game so much

*2026-01-31, version 3.4.1*

This app helps you become a better drummer. This is why I gave it a five star review. I used to be very bad at drumming, but then I got A in it.
