Would’ve been excellent to incorporate these percussion instruments into the kits,for now I am enjoying with the fixed drum kits. ### 3/5 — Good but… *2024-05-26, version 5.1.3* There are a lot of bugs, for example I have to get out of the app every 5 minutes ### 3/5 — This would be a decent app… *2024-03-01, version 5.1.3* If you all would add some odd time signatures. But no… the only options given are 2/4… 3/4… 4/4… and 6/8…. What incompetent FOOL develops a drum beat maker and doesn’t even include 5/4… 7/4… 7/8… and so n? ### 5/5 — Wonderful! But the snare drum roll is terrible *2024-02-29, version 5.1.3* Please fix the snare drum so you can roll thank you ### 5/5 — Stable, easy to use, good sounding *2024-01-18, version 5.1.2* I like app, it does exactly what i need: add percussion to my loops when jamming with friends. Also it adds drums to my guitar processor to play along. I use it on my phone plugged into Aux Input thus setup is super easy. Two things I wish to have although: more time signatures like 5/4, 7/4, 9/4, 11/4 and ability to import drum lines created by community. ### 2/5 — Ad on screen *2024-01-13* Ad is almost covering the screen. How can someone play? ### 4/5 — Needs ability to sort the sounds *2023-12-24, version 5.1.1* Cool app but I’d like to be able to change the instrument positions. ### 5/5 — Drum *2023-11-16, version 5.1* Boom ### 5/5 — cool app *2023-09-08, version 5.1* I’m really enjoying this app ### 2/5 — Great drum app *2023-08-04, version 5.1* Able to record and export tracks ,,great feature!!! ### 4/5 — Предложение к улучшению *2023-07-16* Сделайте Split View для iPad. Спасибо. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Из-за рекламы не работает *2026-08-04* Было отличное приложение, часто пользовался. С некоторых пор при открытии включается реклама, после которой звук в приложении отсутствует. Удалил и поставил другое. ### 1/5 — Plein de pubs *2026-03-22* Salut , appli remplie de pubs, ton rythme s’arrête pour que tu puisses regarder une super pub et après le truc ne joue plus. Voilà, une bouse de plus. ### 1/5 — Very disappointed *2025-11-01, version 5.3* 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. ### 1/5 — Inutilisable merci la pub *2025-09-24* Je confirme, appli inutilisable a cause de la pub… ### 1/5 — Aggressive ads, no sound *2025-09-23, version 5.3* 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. ### 1/5 — Inutilisable, perte de temps. *2025-06-30* Un bandeau de publicité couvrant 40% de l’écran et revient systématiquement, cela empêche toute utilisation. Sans doute une bonne appli, malheureusement il est impossible de la tester… Je supprime et me tourne vers des développeurs un peu plus respectueux, ici on est à la limite de la grossièreté. Si vous ne voulez pas que les gens utilisent la version gratuite, il suffit de ne pas la proposer. ### 1/5 — Not good *2024-11-16* I wanted to use the app, and one of those consent things popped up. Now I’m completely fine with this. I went to adjust my privacy settings, fairly normal stuff. But when I clicked, „Confirm selection“, it told me that I needed to give consent to everything, in order to, „keep this app free“, or buy premium. I have never seen an app do this before, and each app that used this same privacy thing, allowed me to change my settings, and let me use the app. 1 star. Would not recommend if you care about privacy. ### 1/5 — Latency issue *2021-06-02* On the face of it a useful app, but I found it suffered from regular tiny pauses on playback which made it effectively useless. ### 1/5 — after you bought it ads will still shoe *2020-09-09, version 5.0.3* i bought this a couple of months ago and just use it and ads where all over. do not even pay for it ADs will still be on the app. you cannot refund beware this is a scam ### 1/5 — Terrible update *2020-07-05* This update is terrible. Music keeps crashing and stopping, the option to adjust music volume has been removed and the music folder search option to select a song has also gone. A major backwards step I believe. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Finally *2026-07-25, version 5.3* 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. ### 5/5 — Ótimo *2026-05-01* Ok ### 5/5 — Sound disappear *2025-09-30, version 5.3* 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 ### 5/5 — So cool! *2025-09-08* I love that app because so cool beats, many variations of creation and way more! ### 5/5 — CURED MY PERCUSSION “WITHDRAWAL”!! *2025-03-05, version 5.1.7* If you experience the urge to tap on anything you see(and drive anyone around you crazy, or even just want to get the feel of a drum kit, THIS APP IS FOR YOU!!! Just stick in headphones and drum, or play along to a song! It’s sooo easy and convenient! I HIGHLY recommend this app! ### 5/5 — 구매 후 광고 *2025-03-03* 구매했는데 광고가 왜 나오나요? ### 5/5 — Nice *2025-01-27* Please add 32nd notes! ### 5/5 — 😎 cool app *2025-01-02* I love this fun app called rhythm maker🎶 🎵 🥁 . I like making music 🎧 . I wish everyone played this game so, it will become popular!!! ### 5/5 — 광고좀 어떻게 해주세요 *2024-08-03* 광고가 넘 많아요 ### 5/5 — Not bad *2024-03-18, version 5.1.3* Simple, & far better than tiny drum images to play on. If the had round Robin samples & sent midi to a daw to trigger drum plugins…. Well, that’d be awesome. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
