### 4/5 — คุณสามารถพัฒนาให้ใกล้เคียงกับ แอพคู่แข่งหน่อยได้ไหมครับ

*2025-04-08, version 1.19*

จากผมที่เคยใช้แอพนี้ตั้งแต่ iphone 4s อยากให้แอพนี้พัฒนา เพื่อให้เสียงกลองสมจริง สู้คู่แข่งหน่อยจะได้ไหมครับ เพราะจะได้มีคนใช้งานเยอะๆ

### 5/5 — Great

*2022-06-25, version 1.19*

Great

### 4/5 — the sound quality is good, so I use it a lot!

*2021-05-04, version 1.18*

there are times when I don't turn on  loud bgm, but the volume of the song I'm playing drops and it doesn't fix until I restart the app, is this not possible?
(LOUD BGMを設定してないのに再生してる曲の音量が小さくなって、アプリを再起動するまで直らない時があるんだけどこれってどうにかならないかな？っていう英文翻訳です)

### 2/5 — 옛날엔 진짜 좋았는데

*2020-07-09*

소리가 다른 드럼앱처럼 인위적이고 딱딱하지 않고 진짜 어쿠스틱 질감이라 이것만 썼는데 어느샌가 하이햇 박자가 터치보다 늦네요 박자가 전부인 드럼인데 이걸로 이 어플 쓸 이유가 없어졌어요ㅠ

### 5/5 — Crash

*2019-12-14*

App crashes please fix and update it?

### 5/5 — Cheer~

*2019-11-29, version 1.16*

Drum meister is Original

### 5/5 — This is the best drum app ever made!!!!!!!

*2019-02-13*

This is a clone of DrumMeister which was no longer supported in later iOS versions.

this is the best drum app ever made.  I’ve tried them all. Nothing comes close to the customization of arrangement, response time, and sound quality.  I’m telling you I tried them all and I’m excited to see this app again no matter what name it’s under.  I’d gladly pay $1.99 again after 9 years of using it. It’s that good I woulda payed $50 as much as I use it.

### 2/5 — Background music doesn’t lower anymore

*2018-12-14*

Ever since I updated my phone to iOS 12, background audio won’t be lowered when opening the app. I mainly use Real Drums to play along to music and now I can’t hear the drums because the music drowns it out. 

I have checked the “loud BGM” option and the BGM is not changed whether the option is enabled or not. Please fix this issue!

### 4/5 — Decent, but...

*2018-08-31*

Dear Mooseok Bahng,
I use and really like Real Drums!, and would love to see Audiobus support added to it.
Audiobus (https://audiob.us) provides a free and easy to integrate SDK for developers, and allows participating apps to send live audio to each other.
I think Real Drums! could really benefit from being a part of the Audiobus community.
Many thanks.

### 1/5 — Review

*2018-07-20*

I have bought this app long time ago. When I change my iphone, the old app cannot be played and this all the same app but the name waiting for my additional payment. Why I need pay again for this exactly same app?
