### 5/5 — excellent app... Needs loop play on saves!!

*2012-02-19, version 1.51*

ive been playing bass in bands for years. this is an awesome training tool since I use eyes and ears to take ques from drums.
 
1) needs loop playback option for save files,

2) needs file name of what is being played in top corner next to 'play'
 
3) needs to be able to add and remove other pieces (double bass, jingle bells, wood block, tamborine, triangle extra toms)...

none of those are complaints, just wanting a killer app to be even... killier?

->Next update - Loop playback on save files!!!!<-
 
still an awesome purchase for fun and music training. worth ever penny.

### 5/5 — I love this app!

*2012-01-21, version 1.51*

I get lost in rhythm. I actually imagine myself in front of a drum set and my fingers become hands! I use another multi-track recorder and record the drums on one track!!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2012-01-12, version 1.51*

Worth ever penny truly a must have for ever iPod or iPad!!!!! I downloaded to all 3 of my iPod touches. And play it every day when ever I get bored!

### 5/5 — Amazing!

*2012-01-12, version 1.51*

This is the first drum app I remember purchasing, and to this day, I still use it actively. It's got great sounds, a fluid interface, and is just all around great. The only thing I would gripe about would be potential randomization of velocities would be a nice feature, to humanize the playing. Still, it's an amazing app which I highly recommend.

### 5/5 — Best... App... EVER!!!!!!!!

*2012-01-10, version 1.51*

OMG! u created the best app i've ever had! my bro and sis <3 it! and the cowbell! it is awesome! <3 it! best day ever! i could go on and on and on and on but i have low battery.

### 5/5 — Drum Kit 3D Pro

*2012-01-02, version 1.51*

This app makes me feel like I'm actually playing drums.  You can record a song, too!  It even has a cowbell!  Out of ten on a scale this app is a 9.9.  Really good app!

### 5/5 — Best app a drummer can have

*2011-12-22, version 1.51*

U should b able 2 customize u drum set

### 5/5 — Replacement Drummer

*2011-12-16, version 1.51*

My bands drummer slowly became worse and worse from not practicing and when we went to record our songs we used this instead of him and our recording sound great! This is an awesome app. Really worth the money but even the lite one is good.

### 5/5 — Awsome drums

*2011-11-17, version 1.51*

This app is my fav drum app it makes me feel like im actually playin drums realisticly but it would be cooler and u guys may get more rates if u could add a double bass ,more toms and cymbals and other accessories and also sounds if able to :)

### 5/5 — Fever!!

*2011-11-17, version 1.51*

I got one word for you! Fever!! I got a fever, and there's only one cure! I need more cowbell! And this drumset has one!! Too sweet! Time to go add some Blue Oyster Cult to my iTunes! Awesome App! (more great stuff, along with the cowbell! LOL!)

### 5/5 — Opey

*2011-09-07, version 1.51*

Well I tell ya when Ur bored at work and u start beating on Ur drum kit it's funny when somebody says "what song are you listening to" fun little anti-boredom app... Thanx drum kit 3d

### 5/5 — Very Good

*2011-08-29, version 1.51*

This is an extremely good app(: it's a must get.

To take into consideration in next update- rim shot, double bass, and customization within the drum sounds(: your consideration is much appreciated (:

### 5/5 — Almost the best drum app.

*2011-08-14, version 1.51*

Love this application! Only thing I don't like is closed high hat doesn't cancel open high hat. But with the newer update letting us turn off cowbell, this is now a 5 star app! Good job!

### 5/5 — Brilliant

*2011-08-06, version 1.51*

This app is great . However I would like or of u could customize the drum set more.

### 3/5 — Good, but not great... Yet.

*2010-10-17, version 0*

I honestly love the app, but there are definatley much room for improvement. 
1: an option to turn off cowbell and rimshot.
2: an option to add something to Facebook that you recorded.
3: adding a optional double bass, optional gong, conga, bongos, and more toms (1 or 2)
4: the ability to switch the drums placement, (switching the drums around)
5: new kits like: jazz, blues, and metal

And finally,

 #6: the ability to make custom kits by taking something from one kit let's say cymbals from the 80's power rock and giving it the clean acoustic snare, (not just like that, it was just an example)

If you add those, even if one at time, the app will be as close to perfect you can get.

### 4/5 — Love it!

*2016-05-20, version 2.1*

But it would be nice to finally get an update and some new features or drum and cymbal options added. It's been about two years since this app has had any update whatsoever.

### 4/5 — More drums

*2012-10-09, version 1.51*

It needs a couple more cymbals   And a few more Hi Toms to make it sound even better than it already is.. And it should have double base pedals in there. But it's pretty good now

### 4/5 — Ok could be better if theres updates

*2012-09-09, version 1.51*

Very good drum app but it could use a little work you should be able to make your own set and you should be able to have certain volumes for the different instruments as i said its a very good app it just needs updates

### 4/5 — Pretty good

*2011-12-18, version 1.51*

Needs more sets and we need to move certain drums around and chose different cymbals for each kit..other than that pretty good

### 4/5 — Good, but one concern

*2011-11-08, version 1.51*

The rimshot is really annoying when I'm just trying to hit the snare. Half the time a rimshot happens instead of the snare

### 4/5 — Without a Doubt the Best...

*2011-10-20, version 1.51*

This is a really great app, but I wish that instead of having so many pre-recorded beats (which are useful) we could have the option to add more cymbals, like a china, or brushed hihat and snare. Other than that, this is by far the best drumming app.

### 4/5 — Great, but new prob with update

*2011-07-14, version 1.51*

Before the sound came off every now and then but then the update came in but after a little while there was no sound, great app but just some bugs

### 4/5 — A great model, but needs a bit more work

*2011-07-08, version 1.50*

I enjoyed exploring this 3D model of a drum kit. I also noticed the speakers, and monitors on stage, as well as the key, fill, and back lights overhead (a nice touch). The lighting looked realistic.
The motion of the cymbals, and kick hammer, and high-hat pedal was also a nice touch.
Also liked being able to colorize the drums, and change lighting intensity.

The only complaint is that trying to play multiple items at once cause one or another to drop out. Don't know if that's some sort of polyphony limit thing with the sound card that's in the ipod touch, or memory thing involving all the motion, and 3D processing. Hope this can be addressed in a future update (if possible).
Would also be nice to have differetnt visual models for the different kits (I know, memory).
Otherwise, overall, it's pretty sweet interactive model.

Also liked the recorded drum sequences (same audio artifact noticed there too).

### 4/5 — Wat the heck

*2010-08-09, version 0*

Is going on with the view? I must have did something and now I can't it 2 of the Tom drums the cowbell and I don't know how to fix it some help me please

### 5/5 — This is sick!!

*2017-06-09, version 2.2*

This is the best drumming app hands down, now we need more! We need drum customizations if you want more customers!!! We want more drums, cymbals, and other equipment, other than that, the app is f'ing amazing. We need MORE! Hopefully you listen to your fans because this app has so much more potential.

### 5/5 — Danilyno4242

*2016-07-15, version 2.2*

Thanks for the app, it's a great app, i love it. 
I suggest to make a drum similar of the Bonham's model, that will be cool!!!!

### 5/5 — The Best; now make it better

*2016-07-13, version 2.2*

This app is already awesome. I get lost for hours on end jamming with my playlist. Now I challenge them to take it a step further.

Let the user make his own kit. Let him pick the cymbals or the kick-drum they want. Let him have two snares and one rack tom. Let him have a Splash cymbal. Let him have a china. Let him stack them.

The frame-work is there, now lets throw some meat on there.

### 5/5 — Best drum app on market

*2016-07-02, version 2.2*

This app is amazing and very high quality but i really wish that the open high-hat sound stopped when you hit the the closed high-hat. But overall its a great app

### 5/5 — Great App but something needs to be fixed

*2013-12-30, version 2.0.2*

I love this app, the kits sound realistic and the graphics are awesome, but when you hit the open high hats and then close them, the sustain goes on.  Also it would be great if you could mix and match the drums in cymbals under custom kit or something, some cymbals would sound great with other drums.  Over all this app is great and I would recommend it to anyone who wants a reliable drum set app.

### 5/5 — The best

*2013-04-18, version 2.0.2*

Had this since its original launch "3D drum kit" and it has always been the best. 

Playing along to your songs on this is the greatest part!

### 5/5 — Wow! Fantastic update!

*2013-03-20, version 2.0.1*

Out of all the drum apps i've tried, this one is my favorite. It sounds good and looks good. Absolutely worth it.

### 5/5 — Keep going

*2012-06-14, version 1.51*

I like this app alot the only thing I wish it had is the options to add toms and cymbals but other than that it's an awesome drum app

### 5/5 — Game review

*2012-06-10, version 1.51*

I really enjoy this app because I'm actually learning how to play drums without a drumset in my home. The only thing I don't like is that for some reason I can't choose the color blue for my set. If you can just fix that.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2012-03-31, version 1.51*

I play this app EVERY DAY im quick and accurate i almost consider myself pro haha, you should be able to upgrade your kit and buy new cymbals or toms for $0.99 an item. YOU ALSO NEED TO ADD A VOLUME BUTTON FOR CYMBALS AND TOMS, SNARE, HIGHHAT, RIDE, BASS DRUM 

PLEASE ADD THESE! ^
