Verdict
The clearest difference is price: PadDrums at Free against AmenBreakChopper's $0.99. PadDrums also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 5 weeks). AmenBreakChopper's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 26.5). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
