New drummer & trying to learn on my own with limited time. I have about 5 apps,but this is by far the BEST! Plus with recent updates..good to see and nice as majority never update! Please continue to update.

Amazing app!!!!
An amazing learning tool
I've been drumming for about two years and this app has made me really work on new grooves and perfect old ones. It's also given me a practise schedule which was something I couldn't do on my own.
One feature that has helped me learn new grooves is the ability to isolate the different instruments, allowing me to focus for example on the kick and the snare without hearing any hi-hat.
I love this app and I hope Ferenc and its makers add more grooves like tp upcoming versions.
