Well worth the money. Try the free, but the paid version is the one to get.

Helpful app which I will use in teaching music students. Thanx!

Looks good so far could use more country beats and 2/4

I am a guitarist and I was looking for some decent bossa nova beats for practicing the classics. The bossa rhythms included in this app are better than some I've seen in MIDI/acid loops costing a lot more money. I'm really glad I found this app before I plunked down 100+ bucks on a drum machine! Muito obrigado, zaoloapps! :)

App initially had problems running on my Galaxy S3 so the dev contacted me and subsequently fixed the issue. Very impressive service. The app works perfectly now and I'm very happy with it. Excellent value!

Lots of play. Interesting kits and rhythms. Worth the price for a musician needing handheld drummer stuff.

I could find only 2 drum machines with preset rhythms. This was the better of the 2. It is quite good with the intro/ending and the fill-ins. There are a limited rhythm patterns, hope that updated will include more patterns, especially hoping for a salsa pattern and more swing patterns. It is user friendly too. Overall, I am pleased with this.

The upside is that it does what you expect from a drum machine really well and sounds great. The downside is controlability, as a drum machine it really needs a footswitch at least. Maybe it could be an option to use a USB footswitch on a future version. It would also be useful (perhaps as an alternative to an external footswitch) to have a song mode or pre-set pattern control mode. I found only one bug, it will export a rythm as claimed, but it will not open an exported rythm. I had to cut and paste the code. I am using both a Samsung Note 1 telephone and a Note 2 tablet. This needs attention. A user manual would also make it easier for new users. Thanks for a very cost effective app, I will be looking out for the next update.

Simply the best

I don't know if this app will stay in my usual Live Worship kit, but it sure has got me out of a tight spot cheap. What's missing to make this really work? Set lists, maybe even integrate a selection wheel into live mode for easy tempo changes.

Excellent.. can't wait for the next update!!

I have used many hardware drum machines to jam along to over the years and this is by far the easiest and best to use. The sounds are great too. It would be great if you quicky could change kits for a given pattern (e.g. play a ballad pattern with an 808 kit) or perhaps I am missing something obvious?

Great features. Sound is good, especially with limiter enabled. Works perfect on my S2.

Great sound and UI. All controls are active during playback. Nice big buttons for intro/ending and fill in, which allows you to use this app as a real drummer friend. The only problem is that it does not work on my HTC Sensation, there is no sound. I hope this will be fixed! I also bought this app for my tablet, and it works fine on the tablet.
