  I generally like rhythm games but there is one issue that prevents this to be enjoyable: there is almost no correlation from the track being played and the drum hits sequence. There is a reason why the most successful games of the genre release the tracks with the game itself or in DLC packs. The hits must be manually tailored on the track, or the algorithm that generates them should be exceptionally good. I should be required to hit the drums when I hear drums in them music and vice-versa. In the current state, you might as well remove the music altogether. There are other minor issues that I could live with and could probably be fixed, like the occasional stutter or hitting the drums by mistake from below when moving the stick from a previous hit. Given the fairly high price tag, I cannot justify these flaws and I requested my first refund ever.

  This is no Rock Band or Guitar Hero. The idea is good, the graphics OK, and the gameplay is ok, but I would say that in my opinion the biggest disappointment for me is that hitting the right or wrong note makes no sound. I find that ludicrous in a music game. I feel you should be able to load a drum kit sound or theme and when you hit the right note it plays that noise. A choice to play a "mistake" sound if you miss could be added but not important. I found on the three choices of my music that the drum beats and required hits were not really in synch and I would have achieved a much better score if I turned the volume right down, which would ruin the gameplay though. This COULD have been the most awesome music game, setting standards and even beating Audio Shield perhaps, but in its current form (which is not early access unfortuntaley, so that's it I guess) I really think it is overpriced and deserves to have a better game come along and topple it from the chart. I will probably refund it, but will have another go before making the final decision. I think my feelings are just frustrated disappointment in that it was not all it could be. I loved Rock Band, especially the drums, and prefer that, though my VIVE is always up, but RB isnt.

  Could become something special if they add haptic feedback when you strike the drum, also add some type of audio when the drum is hit.

  My first impressions are bad, to be honest. Tried a few of the built-in tracks in easy and medium-ish modes and it did not feel particularly well synched. I will probably give this another session at some point and try even harder difficulties in case the synch improves as with audioshield. There are options, but no options (that I could find) relating to the haptic feedback strength or any way to just turn it off. It feels ridiculous, I'm not sure if they just maxed it out, but it's far too strong when all that's needed is a light bit of feedback for when you make a hit.

  This was the first music driven game I have played in VR and I really hope it won't be the last. VR opens up so many more possibilities for immersion and music. There are music driven games out there that can really pull you in, and VR has the capability of taking that and pushing it to the next level. This game is okay. It's not the best, I wouldn't say it's next level material but I did get that hyped-up and happy feeling from playing a few of my favourite songs. Your surroundings are bright, colourful and it dances with your music. I found it fun to even stand and look around, let alone bust out some drum moves. I won't lie to you, I held back a bit seeing as I was banging imaginary drums like a moron to no music in the family dining area. If I would have been alone I think I would of gone in on this a lot more enthusiastically and gotten my rave on. With that said though I still found this to be a very enjoyable game. When I booted up the game I was a little concerned that I would have to download some music for it to go from or be forced to use some lame sample music that music driven games tend to provide. The fun in these games for me comes from being able to put my own music tastes into the game. I was pleasantly surprised to find that you can actually pick some music from the SoundCloud top 50 (so of course I had to get on that Despacito bandwagon). The only thing I thought might make this game better was if hitting the drum actually did something. I mean, it does something, it determines your score and all. I just thought that it would feel a lot better if when you hit it, it actually made a sound. If you loosely compare it to guitar hero, in guitar hero the music will play as long as you're playing it properly. Hitting the notes will continue to play the song and if you miss it you get that horrid noise that breaks the flow and makes you feel like the worst musician ever. Then when you actually hit the notes correctly you feel a lot more accomplished and it gets you more hyped up during the song. That was my only fault on it, besides that I enjoyed it and would recommend it for someone that might just want a chill jam on the virtual reality drums. TL;DR : Not the best music driven game ever, it might not take advantage of the new possibilities VR provides, but it's still an all around sound game to jam out on.

  https://youtu.be/ybZdg14eSA0 Excellent rhythm game. I was going to try this game just for 10 minutes before sleep. but i played 1 hour. this is absolutely nice rhythm game. pros rhythm sync is amazing even though notes are autiomatically generated. (now i can feel F***ING GROOVE!!! on VR rhythm game) ultra low-latency Drum Drum Drum!!! Drum for vr rhythm game is perfect choice. tons of quality music from soundcloud difficulty adjustment by changing stick color is brilliant controller feedback when hit notes is super cool unlockables IT ROCKS!! cons too korean-style alphabet fonts (will be better with more sleek and modern fonts especially choice of rounded edge font is the worst, i think) stage is kind of bland (Could have been more dynamic) VS Audioshield graphics - Audioshield music - Draw gameplay - Music Inside If you like music and have htc vive JUST BUY IT.
