Love this app ! So many rhythms to choose from, a repeat loop of each. It’s good to be a drummer during this era of technology.

great app!

Wimmmmmm

Hi, I like th eidea& & execution of the app very well. But most complaints/desires for features evolve around 2 topics: more beats & an adjustable metronome. More beats: please allow us to insert our own beats. That will keep the pressure off off your shoulders to come up with more beats every month or so. In a bonus style, we could share our beats, vote for them & you have a community generating massive amounts of beats without your input (Yes, I understand that needs quite a bit of development as well) The metronome: very much desired feature!! If implemented, please just speed up the tempo of the sounds, without changing the pitch of it. When any of these two features get implemented, I'll buy the full version pronto!
