Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Congas at 3.7 against Drum Kit's 1.0. Congas also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 132 months) and ratings volume (359 vs 1). Drum Kit's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
