Drum machine: Farm is a beginner friendly drum accompaniment and music creation app. This Drum machine contains 12 animal sounds and 3 drum and cymbal sounds. Also the app has a possibility to configure app background and music tempo. The drum machine has auto-save feature and also a randomizer that add or remove sounds from the drum machine board. My friends and family really enjoyed playing with "Drum Machine: Farm", so that is why I set this price. I also did not put any ads into the app, so it can be used by children for fun(or with other family members). I hope people will purchase and enjoy my creation.
