The delay is too much between the time I tap and the time the sound is produced. While I have seen incredible playing online by ppl using this app, it would take a lot of practice to account for the delay in response. In comparison, even an inexpensive digital drum set is almost instant. I won't be bothering with it: too hard to even get basic rhythm going.
The actual gameplay part is great. Good graphics, nice sound, and the lessons are simple and easy to follow. However the ads are so invasive it makes it difficult to play. There's an ad between starting and ending every lesson as well as if you want to repeat it, and the ads can be sooooo long. Really disrupts the flow big time. I'd put up with one every new lesson or so, but you can't really do anything without watching 2-3 ads.
OMG this app is KILLER. Starts you with a basic set but you can download different sets by watching a 30 second ad. Also let's you play along with any songs stored on your phone. I DO have to close all apps out before I use this app or it will delay. There ARE quite a few ads but hey, it's free. This app doesn't work well with Bluetooth speakers, as there's a delay that'll mess up your rhythm. Best to use wired earbuds. Rock on!!
I used to love this app, but now the ads are ridiculous, there's no way I'm gonna sit through a 3 minute ad Everytime I click on anything. If you played this app for 30 min., 20 minutes of the 30 minutes are ads. So lame. If I were discovering this app for the first time I wouldn't buy premium because it won't let you try anything without waiting on ads. If you accidentally pick the wrong loop, and you exit immediately to pick the right one you have to wait on ads. Good luck selling premium.
Nice app. Many great features including the ability to record your session. Unfortunately, the record functions does not work. I recorded about 3 minutes of music but when I hit the button to save the drums, the app hangs with "Generating MP3 file". Also: How about switching to a 30 day free trial model? At a very minimum, get a better way of handling ads. The current approach is very bad! I've requested a refund.
I wanted to enjoy this app, but is it absolutely riddled with ads. If you don't plan to pay, then trust me and just skip this app--unless you enjoy 30+ second ads after quite literally EVERY SCREEN. It was maddening. In just 10 minutes of playtime I encountered 4 minutes of ads, not to mention even more ads if you want to watch tutorials or change the drum kits. The drums in the app itself are good, but the app and the horrendous amount of ads are incredibly off-putting. Instant uninstall.
So basically, Its kinda pay to play. I did the little training thingy, and I got the 1st level easy. BUT THEN the 2nd level was a 30 second add. JUST LIKE ALL THE OTHER LEVELS so my reward was for what the game is for? Kinda stupid if you ask me. I don't reccomend this on phone cause it is extremely hard. those are my reasons 2 stars.
I've had enough of your appreciation, for well over a year now. The length of the ads to change the damned kit doesn't make sense. your app is no longer usuable. And what are you doing with the ad money? You seemingly can't even afford to hire an intern to quickly cut and paste code that would fix bluetooth lag. It's almost a 30 year old piece of ancient tech and you cant figure it out, even with your gigantic coin purse full of ad revenue shekels. If you want 5 stars back, get to work.
it's good but there's way too many ads, plus the game always sets a specific amount of time (20+ seconds) of ad watching to unlock a new song, but it always gives me an ad that's shorter than that, and it gets stuck. I really want to learn drums and this is my only option right now, but I can't do any of the lessons because of this.
Your basic virtual drum app. Nice melodic kits, band themed kits, so on and so forth. However, with some bugs. The add in the top right corner....Whenever it changes, it causes the sound to glitch, and a couple of times, it crashed the game. I've cleared any and all cache, uninstalled any unused apps, cleared my junk files, and even cleared out some of my downloads, thinking my phone was slow. Nope, all I did was to no avail. I understand that ads pay for your app/game, but this is ridiculous.
Brilliant application! This is my original Druming App, that I discovered about 3 years ago, when there were far less features. I've tried a variety of other options, and, while serviceable, this one is simply like no other. As a given, I really dig the weekly release of new kits, and the ability to mix and match pieces, and tune, to create virtually limitlessness amounts of sets. One thing that I find to be a bit disappointing, is that the bell is the same on all of the kits.
Ads, followed by ads, was there a drum in there? I installed this and started the beginner lesson. 10 seconds. Then a small FB ad followed by a full-screen 30-second ad. Followed by a second full-screen ad. I force quit the program and restarted. Same ads. A waste of time. Seems like it could be fun, but there are too many ads. Offer a paid version.
The beat is just slightly delayed when I hit a drum or cymbol and it makes it so hard to play. I've tried reinstalling and it didn't fix. Edit: Didn't know it was a bluetooth issue, it'd be great if it supported bluetooth a bit more since my phone doesn't have a headphone jack so I'm limited to what I can use to hear. Great app though!
Been playing on this app for a day now. Just can't put it down. My battery runs dead and I recharge it and go back to playing the game. I always wanted to learn to play the drums. Somehow I believe I might be doing just that. Learning how to play drums. It is definitely improving my inner rhythm. Thanks for the free app. Only bad thing is ad walls keep popping up but not interfering like most. Google removed after I reply already seen. But, an ad pops up before you go to a new drum pattern
Look, I love drumming. I love people that love to drum. Especially those out there without theoney to actually get a set and use anything and everything around them to make the most amazing beats. But this is not a good way. With drumming.. you have to HEAR the score, HEAR the tempo, FEEL the beats. I can't even hit the high hat in time with the snare because the sound is so off with the hits. It's literally behind a whole 4/4 beat.
Very invasive. Constant notifications, and listed as an app to open many links and file types. Edit: in response to the developer... Notifications can be disabled,but it is not possible to de-list an app as a file type handler. Users will continue to get those prompts. Why does a drum app think it should open MS Office files??
the best drum app I found so far there's a lot you can do to tweak the sounds the only thing that really sucks is when you have headphones on so you can really feel the kick of the bass drum and you have the volume at acceptable level all the sudden and add kicks in at twice the volume and blows your eardrums out. I don't understand how that is good advertising it makes me hate whoever's ad it is. well known that excessively loud music with headphones or earbuds and can cause permanent damage
EDIT!!! Y'ALL RUINED ONE OF THE BEST DRUM APPS. I DOWNLOADED IT ON AT LEAST FOUR PHONES AND ACQUIRED MANY DRUMS THAT ARE ALL USELESS NOW BECAUSE THEY WILL NOT LOAD!! One of the best drum apps I've seen yet. Nice how you can change the tone of each drum. Hope I can figure out where my recordings are going cuz it doesn't seem too obvious and it's pretty obnoxious having to click out of that ad whenever I hit it trying to hit a symbol. Pop-up ads can really throw off a rhythm.
It's a cool game! I self-taught myself using this app, and now i'm most likely a beginner in using drums. Hehe, i sometimes use it to vibe with other music and stuff. Mhm, it's a cool game... but i hope they could add more things to do like maybe different types of drums, skins for the drums, and also a "thing" that teaches you to play drums. Yeah, that's all, i don't have any problems with it.
would like to be able to move the snares toms and symbols around. lits a nice toy like it is . like a lot of other cheap apps. you can't just back out of adds . you got to hit the screen lock button and unlock your screen and hurry up and back out before you lose the three button navigation. that is an insult to my interigence
