Quick and Easy

It’s very quick and easy to get some good drum grooves going. I enjoy using it like metronome for a practice tool. I also use the app to quickly create and export grooves to use on demos. I do wish the drum fills were a little better. Many of them sound like a random sequence of hits that a human drummer would never perform.

Realistic Drum Sound

Good but misleading

I bought the pro version after a little time with this app. Closest thing to EzDrummer in the App Store. Tapping on the John and Mike options prompts you to get pro. Got the pro to find those are additional charges.
