Pros and cons of Drum School app for iPhone and iPad

Drum School app good for

A good encyclopedia to improve your beginner drumming culture! Really worth the price, thank you :)
Discover the essentials of drumming, from beginners basics through to advanced beats. Awsome! If you love rhythm, buy it now!
This app is a nice tool for drums exercises. As an autodidact, it helps me a lot. I loved it!
Very useful, cause you can see and hear the grooves, must have for beginners, probably also good for experienced drummers. Muting limbs in the midi makes it perfect.
Great examples, Id love even more theory, but its already great as it is!
I never wrote a review on an app before, but Drum School deserves one. I have been playing drums for seven years now, and I discovered and installed this app about three years ago. It has never disappointed me since then - on the contrary, it has always been a very valuable help, and it has always been very pleasant to use it. I am not easily impressed by an app, but this one is so nice, so helpful, so pleasant, that it does impress me. Do you play Rock? Or Jazz? Latin? Or electronic music? You may want to check out Drum School. Are you looking for help with practicing rudiments? This app could be a very helpful tool for you. Summary: This is an excellent app - works very well, feels very nice. Great content, great design. Regular updates are provided, content is continuously expanded. I would like to thank the people who created this app and who keep it up!

Some bad moments

during installation it shows a message that canĀ“t complete the installation
...what Ive been looking for. Awesome, super organized, helpful app
A great app to practice with. Wish it had a couple more fills, or a create your own groove/fill feature so you could practice some custom stuff, but thats asking for a lot. Amazing app as is!
I have a job that takes me from home a good part of the day. Drum School allows me to practice my rudiments whenever where ever. At home DS has replaced my metronome and some of my books and teaches solid grooves that are attainable even for a beginner!
What a FANTASTIC App!! Kudos to everyone who put this together!!!
I wanted to take lessons, but Im low on cash right now. The Drum School has been a useful in expensive way to learn more. I especially like the roll exercises with the built in metronome. The videos and notation are good too,! if your a visual learner like me. I would get it its worth the money.
