Technical notes:
• The newer your device, the more responsive the sounds will be.
• Turn your silent mode off to hear the sounds.
• Dont expect to be able to play everything you play in real life right away (it takes some practice to build your finger chops).
• Finally, dont use real drumsticks on your device... youll crack your screen and your friends will point and laugh at you! Lets try not to make this the bad, 1985. :)

Pros and cons of Drumline app for iPhone and iPad

Drumline app good for

It has a lot of cool realistic quad sounds along with the new bass and cymble feature. It also has really cool snare sounds

I love this game!! I even bought the other drums and it was worth it!! I just dont like the sound of the snare and you really cant practice with the snare. I think they should make like a practice pad type of thing so you can use the snare. Otherwise i love it and all the other drums! I also like how you can do runs with the basses!

This app is great, but you can only do so much. I play tenor and you cant roll or do any thing but single taps. This also applies to bass

I upgraded and it was good the only thing I recommend is an iPad app because I try todo certain things and there is not enough finger room

Good game for drummers and good to practice plus who does not like to have a whole Drumline in it hand

Needs iphone 5 support and base drum clicks need to be easier but after that good app

Some bad moments

Maybe Im missing something, but then maybe thats something else to say about this app? After installing, I can only seem to play the snare drum, which isnt that great, so what would possess me to buy such simple things as cymbals and bass drums when Im not at all impressed by what they demo?

This is complete BS! It says that I can re download pro pack for free, but I cant! When I hit "BUY" like it said in the instruction below, then this thing shows up. "Are you sure you want to make this purchase?" From the AppStore. Is this a scam?

I crashed the app on a iPhone4 iOS 5 in under a min. Dont even think about playing any sort of 144bpm rudiment like hertas or a double beat exercise. The app latency is too high. As a former corps snare player I was rooting for this app but it leaves you wanting. UPDATE NEEDED!

I bought this app thinking it was going to have all of the drums on it. (speaking it was .99 cents) and Im in marching band looking forward to this. But this app only has a snare drum, you must buy the others for 1.99, NOT SATISFIED!!!

It is a cool app but I wish you could be tested on snare to be able to unlock the other drums and this cymbals.

i bought all the drums. app claims to have high quality studio samples but it sounds like garbage. the way you have to play the snare is weird.
