Most of these screenshots are from the Android app. In my not-so-humble opinion, it seems painfully obvious that the Android app was developed as an afterthought. Many things were simply odd in the Android app. The guys at Aeroband clearly put a tonne of effort into this app, although the drum sounds are not very good.

When I first tried the app, I was sitting next to my wife. I didn’t want to bother her, so I hooked up my TaoTronics SoundLiberty 79 earbuds and received this message: You can play it in the middle of a park bench, at the office, at home on your couch, basically anywhere you want! You can also see the charge port cover in the photo above. Opening that cover reveals the micro-USB port. An alternative option is to use 2.4 ghz wireless headphones. Though it might not be within the budget of many people to get these. Angle DriftIn the Android app, several of the songs were in Chinese. The IOS app had English songs that I was familiar with. What I like These generally work a lot better when using wired headphones or using the speakers on your phone, because the sensors use Bluetooth, adding Bluetooth headphones might be very laggy. I’m not sure if there are any solutions in the works for this. You can choose one of five different drum kits – each with different sounds. Unfortunately, the app doesn’t explain what they are. When I tried the videos deeper in the app I found they were in English. Strange. All screens and videos in the IOS version were in English.

However, I found that with both of these products, it’s best if you keep the number of drums and cymbals to a minimum. Because if you add lots, you can easily trigger the wrong elements, and it can become pretty annoying to play. You need to play in much more deliberate angles for each of these products. You really need to tighten the grip up to stop the sensors from going all over the place.

For Senstroke, you need to individually choose if you want one of your feet to be used for either hi-hat or a double pedal. Though Bluetooth over MIDI might not be universally supported by all DAWs right now, I’ll talk a bit more about that later, in the case of Windows, you might need some workarounds to get the MIDI connection working correctly.
