Real Drum: electronic drum set Reviews

by Sick Product Bro

Played on RealDrum for years, even bought it to support the devs. Go on one day to find that I now have to pay a monthly sub despite buying the games one time fee. Then, a predatory ad on the top screen signed me up for a sub without even accepting/agreeing and was shady to the point of not being able to unsubscribe. This game cost me over $100 and I don’t even own it, what a joke. At the very least you should give me the game at this point.

I’m a drummer of about 25 years. I’m always looking for a solid drumming app that will let me play along with the songs in my music library. RealDrum does, and the ability to adjust levels and swap individual kit pieces is fantastic. I’m also a huge fan of the responsiveness of each piece of the kit, it’s one of the best I’ve seen on an app so far.

A couple setbacks that prevent me from giving RealDrum a higher rating.
- there’s no way to physically adjust the pieces of the kit, so hitting the hi-tom without simultaneously hitting another drum with your fingers is difficult.
- there is an occasional hiccup with audio quality, where the kick drums especially will tend to sound staticy after playing for awhile. The rest of the kit sometimes gets this same static sound.
- the inability to incorporate dynamic playing is also kind of a letdown, but not a deal breaker. It would’ve been nice to have some way to hit a cymbal with less force and have it crash at a softer dynamic, or as I’ve seen on other apps, the edge of the piece is for a lighter hit and the dead center is for a full force hit.

All in all, a fun app, and a well done app, when it works. The audio glitch irritates me, and I just reboot RealDrum over and over until it fixes itself.

Ive had RealDrum for ages and I never do reviews but Ive just played it after the update for first time and its not good. Where has my classic set gone? Thats the only reason i paid for ad removal and used this so much. The modern sounded like cr*p but the classic I loved. Give us back the option to switch around modern to classic and then maybe switch up the individual items once on the set you like. The classic items arent even in the options for individual items. Like why? They were already in RealDrum and you removed them? I cant use this anymore cause the new sounds are horrible and unbearable. Please revert to the great drum app you had!!!

RealDrum as a SERIOUS BUG. It constantly doesn’t work when I go into it where either it freezes and I can’t do anything or there is no sound. Also, there is another SERIOUS BUG that happens when I change kits and the sound disappears or RealDrum freezes. Please look into this bug ASAP and fix it. I hope other have these issues too, because I didn’t have these issues before the last update which said it fixed bugs, but actually put bugs in.

I remember years ago I would use RealDrum with no lag. Now it seems like every time I hit a Tom or cymbal it has like a second delay. I give it 3 stars because years ago RealDrum was awesome. I want to believe it’s something on my end that’s wrong, but I’ve deleted and installed RealDrum several times and still same problem.

I think that this game is great but it’s not the best. I think that they should teach you more about the 🥁 and Not just let you play. I myself like to write music and I’m trying to find the right be to go with it but the thing is they don’t teach you enough about the drums to where you were able to find the right beat or anything like that. But the good things about this is you are still able to find the right beat just as you have to had had it for a while. I honestly think that is a very great app there’s just a few little things that I hope you fix. Some people might not agree with me but that’s just what I think.

I love RealDrum but I have a problem that I think is a pretty big one. This has been going on for a couple months now and I think it needs to be addressed. I went to choose a song from my music, but when I clicked on it, it crashed. (Meaning the song). Also, RealDrum crashes horribly on my IPhone 7 Plus. Every time I open it I can only touch the screen and then it just crashes. Otherwise, this is a simple nice app that just needs a couple things fixed.

I think RealDrum is great for drummers because I think it has amazing sounds and it is very fun because you can play your own beats, listen to their beats they made, and they can teach you beats. RealDrum is great And the only annoying thing is the adds so what I would like for you guys to do is later in the future make the remove adds free

by PurpleWYt

I think this is a great app but there is one problem that bothers me slot. When using the tom drums there is not really enough space for me to do specific drum fills because the cymbals and tom drums are pretty much right next to each other so I would like them placed further back a bit. Other than that one problem this is a amazing app! 👍

I am a drummer In real life and when it’s night time or if it’s the morning I love playing this game when I can’t in real life, I also play whenever I love making new beats and playing around on a MULTITUDE of different sets and sounds! THIS GAME IS GOOD!!!

Hello developers of this game.. I have been discovering a bug in the option of playing to a song but it would freeze whenever i played the song I wanted so pls fix this i rlly LOVE ❤️ this song

I had a really awesome setup before. I loved RealDrum! 10/10. The new update has some great ideas, but a few major functionality issues. I really like being able to have multiple kits saved, however I am frustrated that I can no longer properly add my own sound samples. RealDrum lets them load into the kit, but when I tap on my custom cymbals or drums the samples cut off extremely quickly and make this weird click-y echoing noise.

Once again, I greatly appreciate the work you all have put into RealDrum! Please fix the issue with the sound samples.

It’s cool because you can add anything to your playlist or song list and u can try to get the song drum beat perfection and I have all my favorite songs on it by far the coolest drumming game and I just love the way it’s dezined and it’s featchered and it looks so real like real drums and I just love it so much

This is actually really, I have drums in my pocket now, and can play then whenever I’m board. But recently I can’t open RealDrum and play them. When I open up RealDrum , it takes to the drums like usual, but when I tap them they don’t move or make sound. I have deleted RealDrum , and then reinstalled it again and then seems to work, but when I close RealDrum and go back to it, it doesn’t work again. This might be just me and my iPhone is just stupid, but what ever, this is the best drumming app I can find, so it’s s sham I can’t play them right now.

by Vadimch77

This is an amazing program! There are worse programs out there that cost money, but this one is totally free! You can even record in RealDrum! If there was a 10 star, I would rate it 10/10. Definitely recommend to everyone!

RealDrum is so great but on the ride the middle part is supposed to sound different on most different sounding rides if the devs could look into changing the middle area of the ride on most drum kits that would be great but either way i love all of your apps for music related purposes .

by USDA SOUTHWEST REG

RealDrum is 5 star all the way. I ve been into playing drums all my life. I’m not in a project playing these days. I down loaded 4 years ago as a novelty. But I have found this is a functional to work out a groove from your head or song very useful. It can’t replace a physical warm up but it certainly helps get your head into it.

by BDKGDKTBK

This is one of the best drum apps I ever played and I love the new kits and all the new stuff they have added to RealDrum but there is this one flaw if you try to change your kit it would be frozen and you would have to delete RealDrum and download it back, so if the creators can fix that bug that would be wonderful but all in all RealDrum is FIRE!!!

by Bou R

Ok. I get it. I have been looking for drum apps for alot of time and this is best one. I have drum set already but I never practice. So I spend a lot of time on my iPad and I found RealDrum. I’ve only been playing for like an hour but it’s already AWESOME! But when I write a review it crashes and I have to close and open again. Other than that it’s great! Keep up the awesome work! 👌👌👌👌🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂👏👏👏👏👏👏

I’ve had RealDrum for a whole, and overall, I’ve really liked it. It’s definitely not perfect but it’s one of the best drumming apps I have found. It has a wide variety or drum sets and also recently started making drum sets from bands such as Mötley Crüe, Black Sabbath, (maybe Rush but that’s might just be me) and I’m really enjoying that. I don’t have much to complain about because it is a pretty stable app that has little bugs, and if it does, is usually fixed quite quickly. Overall, RealDrum is a very good app and I would recommend!

by Itsyaboiuuhh

Ive had RealDrum for about 2 or 3 years now and its always been pretty good. The sensitivity is perfect and the samples sound good, but recently, any sounds made within RealDrum make a horrible crackling noise, almost as if my speakers are broken. (which they are not, it only crackles in RealDrum) so if that could be fixed it'd be a 5 star app.

by ScoatPygmyGoat

This is a good app that helps you to play the drums and know what each drum and cymbal is called and what is looks like. A suggestion I would make to RealDrum, is to make the drum make a quieter or louder sound depending on when you hit it. When you hit a drum, you can’t change how loud or quiet it is or any more advanced setting like that.

by TayJoeHonorSelena.

Love the sounds and how you can change the type of sound of the drum and symbol but you should make it were you can move the drums too your desired location and have your desired size. Also their should be a way to swipe up the menu

Real drums is an amazing app for anyone looking to peruse a career in the music industry, or that just enjoys making sick beats. Me personally, I enjoy hard rock and heavy metal so, this is a good way for me to take beats and guitar riffs I’ve already heard and add my spin to it, or create something of my own entirely. So have a blast with RealDrum and satisfy your own musical starvations.🤘🏽🤘🏽

by MetalDrummerBoy

RealDrum is good. It has nice sound quality for a free app. My problem is that there is a noticeable delay whenever you hit the instruments. I would like this fixed please and as soon as it is I will give the full five stars RealDrum deserves.

by Dezlee2001

RealDrum has the ability to change your drum sounds and your cymbals. Customizing your drums are fun and easy. I have only one complaint: when you play open hi hats then play closed hi hats, you can still hear the open hi hats. But, overall, RealDrum will be sure to entertain!!!

by Faze NlNJA

It teaches you how to use the drums and it has different noises for everything plus it’s very easy to play with all kinds of phones I love RealDrum because I can’t bring my drum set everywhere so this is like bringing my drum set with me it’s amazing 😃

by Chekeboom

Game crashes as soon as i touch the screen to start playing. Tried updating my phone and still crashes within seconds.

by Lucythicc666

RealDrum made me happy because I’m not that smart and it allowed me to believe that i am although my friend Alex sweats when he watches hardcore anime and it smells. Other than that it got my teacher mad but it was good enough to Huddersfield my eggroll
