"The idea of this App is to show the student and musician my vision and approach aplying some of the most important brazilian rhythms and styles on the drum set. It is very important to remember that the best way to understand and get to know any music style is to listen and play these styles, living and breathing them deeply and also getting to know the masters and the recordings that best represent the music you want to learn. I would like to thank all the great drummers who came before, opening the way to the new generations and giving form to the percussive tradition from Brasil on the drum set."

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Drum Sets holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Drum Sets has 19 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Kiko Freitas's written reviews are positive against 50% of Drum Sets's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Kiko Freitas ships an update every 8 months, Drum Sets every 6 months. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
