I'm a guitarist and a drummer, unfortunately I can't play both at once. I've tried probably 2 dozen other similar apps but so far this is my favorite. It has more than adequate features, it's very user friendly, it has an excellent selection of drum tracks, easy tap tempo, etc. I actually paid for this and since probably 8/10 apps I try aren't even worth having for free. So if you need a drummer I HIGHLY recommend Drummer Friend. Spend your time shredding, not configuring some other bloated app.

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

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!

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! :)
