*2026-04-09*

How do you get the bar menu back when it disappears?

### 1/5 — Sounds like trash

*2025-10-12*

Ive been playing this for a few minutes its after I took off the app the drum sounds were trash and need tuning its its so annoying to hit the closed hi hat and bass drum because for the hi hat the menu button is bellow making it hard not to click something and the cowbell being on the bass drum
