### 5/5 — great drumer app

*2025-02-06, version 4.0*

this is a great app

### 5/5 — The only way you can do it was by going through In the World

*2024-08-01, version 4.0*

I have to go back and check my

### 5/5 — Very simple and to the point.

*2024-02-25*

Very easy to use and has great response.

If I had one thing to suggest, it’s more options like double bass and customizing the arrangements more than just left or right orientation.  Double bass should be a must though.

### 4/5 — Love the Samples and the Design

*2021-05-05*

Just checked out the app for the first time and my initial reaction is positive. 
PROS: Top notch samples; Well-designed layout; Responsive enough to play in real time
CONS: Hit radius of the different elements is too small to support both thumbs if you want to do successive notes (for fills). Ride cymbal should be on the same side as the hi-hat: I use the same thumb for the hi-hat as I do for the ride cymbal (as I would think most people do) so it doesn’t make sense (to me) for them to be on opposite sides. 

Fortunately, both of my criticisms above are easily rectified: 1) the current design allows for the element hit radius to be substantially increased without having to move things around. 2) Swapping the ride and crash cymbals is a simple coding and icon change. 

Future improvements: supporting auxiliary input for a foot pedal to trigger the bass drum (and hi-hat) would be awesome. That would truly make this an app that could be used in real time. 

Conclusion: I think the app has a lot of potential and I look forward to future releases.

### 5/5 — Tiny Drums rocks!

*2019-08-22*

I enjoy the drum samples. And the app developer is very responsive to feedback. Great app, keep up the great work.!!

### 3/5 — IAA & Audiobus Compatible

*2018-08-07*

I hate to give this app only 3 stars, but I will definitely give it 5 when it becomes Audiobus, Inter App, compatible with DAW (Garageband, etc) and can also be used as a stand alone app in this way! Please consider updating the app to accommodate these things...
Thank you!

### 3/5 — 5 stars for update

*2015-06-16*

Make the drum markers movable. Add volume control to individual pads.

### 3/5 — Could be better

*2015-05-24*

Could be better with option to record & transfer to another apps
