So I am fairly close to meeting the requirements for all the tests to pass except the last one I am stuck on.

“6. When I press the trigger key associated with each .drum-pad, the audio clip contained in its child element should be triggered (e.g. pressing the Q key should trigger the drum pad which contains the string “Q”, pressing the W key should trigger the drum pad which contains the string “W”, etc.).”

I’m not sure what I am doing wrong. When I click each of the keys it clearly plays a sound/drum-pad it is associated to. Has anyone run into a similar problem?

Thanks

The error is referring to pressing keys on your keyboard, not clicking keys with a mouse or touch. So you’ll need to add an event handler that listens for key presses.
