Oracleboy: - April 29th, 2012 Fantastic app! - ★★★★★ Drum Secrets is real value for money and contains tons of great content and tips, all presented with real clarity. I will be recommending this app to all my students and drumming colleagues - it's a great resource!

TD12 Funk: - Feb 10, 2012 Awesome Resource! - ★★★★★ This app includes about an hour of expert tuition from Sam Brown. There are so many superb tips and tricks in this app that no drum magazine or single lesson could cover them all. It's amazing value! Sam, when do we get the next instalment?

Tricky_P: - April 10, 2012 Brilliant! - ★★★★★ Love it. Well executed, helpful and fun to watch.

Asylum4378: - Feb 6, 2012 2012 GREAT APP! - ★★★★★ I have played for many years but never learned the rudiments because they looked boring and painful. This app actually made them reasonably fun and painless! I recommend this to all level drummers!

Hughdais1985: - Jan 30, 2012 EXCELLENT APP! - ★★★★★ Definitely worth getting for the money, pay £1.49 and shortcut your playing and save yourself a fair bit of money. VERY easy to follow! Clear videos, play alongs, PDF's and more... Well worth it. And very excited about drum secrets 2!

Eijk: - Jan 6 2012 Great App! - ★★★★★ I would like to respond to your exellent app, I checked it fully and have to compliment you (as many others have done) on the inspiring stories, content and great playing. It is nice to see a pro drummer tell about technique, groove, growing as a player, livestuff and more, the way you do, very inspiring and I am sure you must have had a lot of succes with it by now. grtz, Hans
TurboStick: - Nov 27, 2011 Wonderful value! - ★★★★★ How refreshing to hear and see drum technique tutorials presented in such a clear, logical, and easy to follow way. Definitely a really useful app, full of inspirational stuff for all levels. If you just want to refresh/improve those fundamentals or start from scratch this app is a real bargain. Looking forward to the next one Sam!
'VersionOne: - Nov 27, 2011 Fantastic ! - ★★★★★ Hey Sam, Just to let you know, I'm really inspired by your approach on drumming and making progress with the help of your APP. Like me, there are most certainly a lot of other drummer around that have brought themselves to the 3rd learning level. Now i'm sure that many will bring themselves to the 4th learning level ! I'm working on that every day now, i know i'ts possible if you become aware of "the big secret". Or did i say to much......... Best regards, Wouter
Sabrina Harvey:Mar 10, 2011 Thanks Mr. Sam Brown - ★★★★★ Ok, im a 14 year old girl that loves drums! I cant play them great, but im learning, and im getting my very own drum set for my birthday this year! So about the app..This app is awesome! Just what I need, little tips and hints here and there can't hurt, it can only make me better. I want to thanks Sam Brown for gifting this app to me! That was really cool of him! Everyone- follow him on twitter!! And never say never:)
Mattsticks:May 16, 2011 Brilliant - ★★★★★ Sam has improved the drumming world with this app. Easily accessible, seamless approach to giving a lesson on core topics that you can revisit again and again. The accompaniment of PDFs and play-along tracks are invaluable. I was having issues with timing and Sam's recommended technique accompanied by the play-along is the best remedy I have found. A must have App for ANY drummer. If you were to calculate the cost of these lessons you would be well over $200...$2.99...yours, with updates forever !
Hit Man:Mar 16, 2011 Sam's locked it in the pocket with this App! - ★★★★★ Great app don't pass on this it's a must have for all levels, I really enjoyed Sam's approach to each lesson. I give this app 10 sticks up!
Nannozille:May 7, 2012 Coole App! - ★★★★★ (From iTunes Germany and Google-Translate!) Can recommend this app highly enough. I'm quite a beginner, but Sam's tips are simple gold wert.Bei Sam realize that he brings with him years of experience with percussion students. Check out the first free video on his website at - those who favor it, you'll love the rest. Disadvantage: to understand fully in English, but spoke clearly and easily. Tip: brings you Drum School (Ferenc) as a reference to - very good addition. And Sam, "Linear Drum" is also great, but perhaps rather for advanced students.
Yeatesy: - Sep 11, 2011 Superb app - ★★★★★ A brilliant app in all aspects. Very cheap, great content and some truly awesome drumsecrets that are perfect for those keen on becoming a skilled drummer. Cheers sam!
Nooneeee: - Sep 10, 2011 Inspirational - ★★★★★ Well done Sam. I've been playing for over twenty years and you have 'unturned stones previously not touched' Its back to the practice room for me.
The Shaky Camera Man: - Aug 25, 2011 Motivational - ★★★★★ I lost touch with my drum teacher and started drifting - This app got me focused and motoring again. Ben's teaching style is very well thought out and obviously the result of a lot of experience as a teacher and performer. It's made me realise what I can do with the things I already knew and has given me clear, simple steps to doing things that I thought were beyond my ability - even my kids said "awesome"
Badger Mouse: - Jul 25, 2011 Excellent! - ★★★★★ I'm a novice drummer, teaching myself from books and resources such as this. This app has been really useful to me, the lessons are helpful and well presented, and the written material is great for supporting the videos. It has inspired me to practise playing more.
Tom_h_cc: - Jun 1, 2011 Fantastic - ★★★★★ It's good to see a musical app in which time and effort has been put in to make it an actual enjoyable experience rather than a standard 'note dictionary' you see elsewhere. Excellent explanation for beginners and advanced players will find them handy too; particularly the later exercises. Overall a great musical package that I will recommend to all my drummer friends. Great value too!
MW-drums: - May 30, 2011 Outstanding! - ★★★★★ ANY serious drummer should have this app. There is something in it for everyone, beginners to seasoned pros. Sam has lovely way of delivering each lesson and the chops to demonstrate it. Can't wait for part 2!!
Rob Brian: - Version 1 - May 5, 2011 Superb!! - ★★★★★ I think this package is incredibly well presented and the information is extremely useful! I am recommending this to all drummers and drum teachers, as its such a great hands on tool to improve your drumming. Great work Sam!!
Crazy Cole: - Apr 6, 2011 2011 Brilliant - ★★★★★ This app is truly excellent. Sam's teaching is clear and easy to follow. Any drummer can learn from these lessons. Highly recommended!
Tubthwacker: - Mar 25, 2011 Great App - ★★★★★ I have been playing for 20 years and this app made me want to get back to some basics and practice them again. well written, well thought out, well done. Some great ideas, good tuition along with backing tracks and scores make this great value
Jazz Hound: - Mar 20, 2011 Absolute Joy!! - ★★★★★ Sam Brown's Drum Secrets is a fantastic app both in terms of potential learning opportunities & the sheer amount of practical information. Used on or away from the kit, you can learn just by watching and tapping into Sam 's evident enthusiasm. Every time you re-visit chapters there are new skills to learn. A must.
Scott Hammond: - Mar 12, 2011 Excellent - ★★★★★ Great videos with very clear teaching and with a friendly manner :) The vids and app generally is well made and easy to understand. Highly recommended.
Anon: - Mar 9, 2011 Nothing else quite like it...! - ★★★★★ Very well conceived app that will hit the spot for drummers of all levels. Sam teaches in a very engaging manner and has filled each video with his boundless enthusiasm and expertise in drumming – inspiring! What is more, this app goes way beyond the “lesson”, backed by a vast array of backing tracks and scores for drummers to really sink their teeth into. Superb.
Djtev: - Mar 8, 2011 little things make a BIG difference! - ★★★★★ it really is true, practicing the small things well can have a huge impact in the long term!! great insight, well explained and i love the 'naughty' little rolls and licks...this boys got it!!! great GREAT APP!!!!! whens the next installment?? cant wait! Tom E
Anon:- Mar 4, 2011 Fresh insights & tasteful playing - ★★★★★ Sam gives fresh insights into techniques that most experienced players will be aware of, and shows some nice practical applications of rudiments & dynamics. It's always good to see some tasteful 'in the pocket' grooves! Something for players of all levels - great job Sam, look forward to volume 2 ;-)
Richiebeattie: - Mar 4, 2011 All you need and more - ★★★★★ Great app, well put together and presented. Not only are the videos a valuable source of knowledge for the beginner and the experienced drummer, but they are pitched brilliantly getting to the point without patronising or wasting time. Scores and mp3's a brill for practice sessions. First class app well deserving of it's 5 stars
TPR007: - Mar 4, 2011 Ace - ★★★★★ This genuinely helps me practice.
Aslimmer: - Mar 3, 2011 Inspiring!! - ★★★★★ Excellent app! Really well put together, enjoyable and comprehensive lessons which have something for everyone whether you've never before picked up a pair of drumsticks, or if you've been playing for years and just want to find new inspiration for your practise sessions. You will not only learn WHAT to practise, but more importantly HOW to practise.Thoroughly recommended!
Kijijh: - Mar 2, 2011 Well worth the money... - ★★★★★ I was a bit sceptical of what I would learn from an app called Drum Secrets, but at such a low price I figured there was no harm in checking it out. I've been playing drums for 20 years and teaching for 15. I've played professionally for the last 10 years and consider myself to be a thinking drummer. Even though the lessons in this app only cover the basics I still found at least one really useful tip in each lesson. I'm looking forward to getting back in the practise room to apply some of the ideas to my own playing. Thanks Sam!
Drummer-Rory: - Mar 2, 2011 A must have - ★★★★★ Sam, I'm glad someone's finally worked from the bottom up with all the technique ins and outs. Even having played for some years I can see bad habits creeping in.......thanks for letting me know about those :) Can't wait to get back on the kit to do more to correct those. A must have for the beginner or pro. Right, enough reviewing need to get back to practicing! Thanks
Rog@hobbit: - Feb 13, 2011 Teaching at its best - ★★★★★ Hi Sam, I have to say that getting back to drumming after a long break has been worth it with the use of this app, I love your style of teaching and its just great using video and text, already I am in the learn mode and now starting to unlock some of the secrets of this wonderful instrument, i travel international as a living and therefore seem to not have time to live practice as much as i would like, with the app loaded on my iPad I now practice and learn more thanks for making this app
