Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: WEJAM at none against Drum Pad Machine's shown. WEJAM also leads on review sentiment (80% vs 63%) and rating (4.8 vs 4.6). Drum Pad Machine's advantage is ratings volume (674K vs 17) and chart position (#168 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

WEJAM holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Drum Pad Machine has 674K ratings behind it against 17, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 80% of WEJAM's written reviews are positive against 63% of Drum Pad Machine's.
