Sure, "More Cowbell" is fun, but it's pretty limited. This app will give you 22 percussion instruments to play:

* claves
* cowbell
* crash cymbal
* cymbal bell
* drum sticks
* egg shakers
* gong
* hand clap
* hi hat closed
* hi hat open
* hi hat stomp
* maracas
* ride cymbal
* rim shot
* rim tap
* sleigh bells
* snare drum
* tambourine
* triangle
* tube shaker
* vibraslap
* woodblock

The sound samples are clear and crisp and, most importantly, actually playable! There's 8 levels of volume for each instrument, accessible by tapping lower or higher on the screen. And you can even use the accelerometer to play! Shake the phone and the maracas and egg shakers take on a new life. It's a bit harder to control the volume this way, but it does seem speed-sensitive, so you can get a little groove going on...

Overall I think this app is a lot of fun. Might not be worth it for the casual iPhone musician, but I love it. If they threw in a sequencer of some sort so you could program a full groove, then the price of admission would be a no-brainer. As is, for percussion geeks only ;)
