# Hand Drums vs Drum Set

The clearest difference is rating: Hand Drums at 4.0 against Drum Set's 2.9. Drum Set's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ads (none vs shown). On price, ratings volume and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Hand Drums sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Drum Set asks for nothing beyond the download.

Hand Drums holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 2.9. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 11 and 8 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 10% of Hand Drums's written reviews are positive against 33% of Drum Set's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
