Freedrum Studio: Drum Lessons

The app is okay, it works on my generic electronic drumkit, but I still had to select a branding kit (eg: Alexis Nitro) which is not a big deal, but they should have a “generic” for who doesn’t have a famous brand kit. I like that the app has both waterfalls game to learn to play the drums, and in addition to that, you can play with the sight reading notation, perfect to practice playing and reading music. I wish they didn’t force me to pass before play the other levels. It’s quite annoying to force me to play 2-3 variations of the same song. I had a few issues with performance on the MacBook, sometimes the cursor doesn’t match the sound of the metronome and the song, I didn’t play much on the iPad because the music notation is quite small, and I was mixing the ride and cymbal a lot. They could also have a session on how to read the notation. The levels are quite hard for beginners, even on the begging course. They expect someone that had learned the basic beats. It’s a cool app with some area for improvements. I didn’t know I could play on any drumkit until I saw the Alejandro video.

Why didn’t you make a universal version. Hitting targets on a tiny screen while playing drums is difficult.

I’ve been using Freedrum V1 sensors for 3 years now and their new app has got me even more excited about their V2 launch later this year. Check out their campaign now on Indiegogo. Not only is the app compatible for V1 users, but offers a very stable, quick & easy Bluetooth connection (in App). The preset DrumKits sound and look great, video recording feature makes sharing with friends a breeze…. and this is just the beginning! Bring on the new features and good luck with the launch!!!

Why is the drum kit so tiny in the bottom left corner of the screen? Makes no sense. Great if you are a tiny mouse wanting to learn how to finger drum.

With a name like freedrum and being free to download with in app purchases you would expect you could at least try to app before paying them. You can’t even launch the app without creating an account, giving them all your info, and a credit card on file. No thanks. Back to melodics.

It won’t load but it says the loading is at 125% 1 waited for 1 hour and it still said 125%.

It detected my Alesis command, but many of the drums are not detected, and no way to fix it.

I have a suggestion and the dark mode support of the application will be more beautiful than now

This game is so bad like teach us where to hit not get straight into these games things like an emo kids going down stairs addicted to the guitar game where you just press buttons like autvually teach them where to hit it and learn not just get into the difficult stuff bad game it’s so bad

Where do I start? Over 18 months of waiting to finally receive the freedrum 2 product (and 6 months after they sent to the wrong address) the sticks sync incorrectly with the app. Want a snare sound consistently? Good luck! You sync the location of the snare or any other part of the kit, and it never consistently makes the correct sound. For example I hit the snare a maybe 20% of the time the snare comes through. Rest of the time it’s cymbals, floor Tom’s, etc. a complete mess. Customer service takes months to get back to you so even though I’ve asked to return the product I’ve heard nothing. They take your money and run.
