Good but to many ads

Every time I click a drum a ad pop up it just so annoying and a can’t even play full song plus I wish I could Chang the drum color because I hate the color of the drums

Best drum app

This app is amazing and you get great rebound and feel /sound like a real drum. The main problem is the glitches. Every time i edit a kit or go into settings, adds pop up. It happens way often so that should be fixed. Besides that this is an amazing app.
