### 5/5 — The only way

*2024-05-26*

The only reason I’m going to get it done today

### 3/5 — Add a few essential features and its 5 stars

*2016-03-09*

What I like:
The quick response.
The sounds are decent.

What could be better:
Ability to arrange kit setup.
Ability to choose color for kits.

What Needs to be added:
Midi so it can be used as a controller.
IAA (although if midi is added and the slave app is IAA compatible this wouldn't matter)

If just midi controller capability is added I'd give this app 5 stars. As it is, its not useful as a recording instrument, but perhaps thats not the dev's intent, which would be too bad.

**Developer response:** The features you wanted is available now.
Thanks for the feedback

### 5/5 — Cool drumming app

### 5/5 — Amazing
