The drums are probably the most fun musical instrument to play and perhaps (at least apparently) also the easiest for a beginner who doesn't know anything about music theory. The biggest difficulty in playing drums is that it takes up a lot of space and would also require a fully dedicated room.
While in the past we have seen some sites to play the drums online from the PC, in this article we see instead the apps for Android, iPhone and iPad to play the drums on the smartphone or tablet, which are much more fun and that give the feeling of beat drums and cymbals live. They are applications that can use musicians to create rhythms and beginners to play, which make the drums play in a realistic way, using your fingers on the screen.
