Finally

You wouldn’t believe how many other drum apps I tried before luckily finding this one. You would think someone would have the idea of a drum app that you can just play instead of dickin’ around with countless,useless knobs.
I did drop the 10 bucks and had zero buyer’s regret, if anything to support the developers and thank them for getting it.

Very disappointed

I hadn’t used the app I’m a while. Came back to use and the google AD was so large it made the app unusable, and I can’t figure out how to get rid of it.

Sound disappear

In total app is great, I love it, but whenever you exit or get ad on the app, sound for some reason disappears and I have to restart whole app

Aggressive ads, no sound

I wanted a drum pad. Ads are very agressive. I understand it's a free app but I lose the sound of the kit after it everytime.
