HOW SURE ARE WE
Small app: combines its grossing ranks with ratings growth (0.2 new ratings a month on average since launch). Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2.6 times, so the range is wide. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

Don't order physical copies

I have 40+ drum books and videos from Hudson, in both digital and physical copy, I generally like the company but don't expect to get anything shipped to you within a few days if you order the actual book/video...I don't get it - I ordered and paid for a book and didn't get it for 14 days after I purchased!!! Come on guys - it's 2026 - it's not rocket science to get orders iut to customers!!!!

No Offline Access

There is no way to use the books you buy offline. Not that I have found. I reached out & there was no response. Some of the books can be found digitally elsewhere for your iPad such as Apple Books. I find that to be a more reasonable situation. I’m on the train as we speak with WiFi through my phone but don’t get to see my books. The people who pay for books are obviously not the problem MFs.

★★★★★Aug 30, 2026
Great book

This entire app is so helpful to learning and makes getting better on the drums so efficient. Everything you need is in one place. You can annotate and bookmark. And there’s examples to go along with what you’re trying to learn. I don’t know how you efficiently learn without this.

★★★★★Jul 23, 2026
