It’s rated 4+ and currently has 21+ ratings on the App Store.
What Makes Duel Of Drums Stand Out
You think you can win a duel of drums?
A game that will get free the musician inside you, where you will put the best of your abilities to memorize rhythms along much music, and levels that gradually will require more perfection.
Each level has 4 songs, and each requires that you complete the previous one with a good evaluation.
Game modes
You have 2 options to play:
- Duel: Memorizes and repeats what the percussionist play.
- Solo: Play guided by points on the drums.
Each song has a short section with help at first, and then this help is removed, so you need to use your memory. The help consists of points on the drums you need to touch.
Trophies
You can earn 4 types of trophy:
- Wood
- Bronze
- Silver
- Gold
You will get every trophy based on the number of bad, good, or perfect touches executed during a song.
- Pay attention to the unlock requirements of each song.
Coins
Every time your level of damage reaches zero, you will enter in earning coin mode. You will earn 1 coin for every good touch, and 2 coins for each perfect touch. These coins will accumulate in each game mode separately. Whether you earn coins in Duel Mode, or Solo mode, each mode will have its own number of accumulated coins.
The coins obtained serve to help with unlocking every fourth song, at every level.
When you no longer have to unlock more songs with coins, coin collection feature will be deactivated in the app.
See you in duel!

Community Insight:
This is an important update made, solving sync problems! Is more to come.
The game will improve your memory and you will play lots of music on drums .the games has awesome game play with different modes to entertain you.
This is a game to test your musical skills .try to memories rhythms with drums .if u play well then u get good scores and clear levels.
We wish character customization was in it and that level design were implemented a bit more with the player in mind like choosing your background etc. But great game. Works amazing, nice job.
Really it's good quality sound and so funny best drums app on AppStore…we like it so much.
The art and the sounds are good! Should have given more space & chances to hit.
We like to play this drum game a lot. Nice graphics.
So cool and fun game. It gives so many positive emotions. Nice work.
A classical type of Japanese style game. Cool and unique. It tests our reflexes well.
Awesome game for iPhone addictive challenging fun game play.
Really cool game reminds us of ddr but with drums really cool concept and Japanese style fonts definitely recommend this game.
If you love music, drums and duels… This "is" the game for you.
This game is too good. We like irs geaphics. Easy to use and recommended.
Great app to concentrate and focus . If you miss a tap you will loose. Try it.
It looks to us like the method you're using to sync the circles with the music is frame-based (Lag causes sync drift). In order to avoid rewriting the data on the circle timing, we would convert the ms offset from the start of the song to a frame number at the ideal frame-rate to determine the locations of the circles. Or you could just convert the raw data to milliseconds.
This was going great until the second song on level 2 (be patient or something). The songs just before that we got over 100 perfects without looking at the circles and just listening for the beat. We can't even do it for that level because the music isn't synced to the timing. We even tried hitting perfectly when the circle was over the marker and it still said we were wrong. We've been playing rhythm games for years so this stuff is second nature to us. Please fix the sync and we'll gladly redownload and even put out money towards the game. This has a lot of potential.
We tested several songs because 50% of the time we would get perfects and the other 50% for the same song we would miss almost every note. Half of the time the song starts before the LISTEN message goes away and before the guy hits the drum so the song just sounds completely out of sync. We can restart the song multiple times until it starts at the same time with the drummer but we can't recommend a game that can't sync music properly for a rhythm game.
Out of sync, out of rhythm. Doesn't work.
