What players say

One of the most enjoyable VR games, and best uses for a VR. And certainly the best in the drums category. - Controlling works really well, - depends on your skill rather than luck, - there are some good songs (+Steam Workshop ones), - it feels like playing. Tested on VIVE 2 Pro. Turn off the need to hold your sticks with buttons in settings, it's annoying and unnecessary. I've completed the campaign and I'm still...

For some unknown reason, I get stutters every 10 seconds on certain songs. I tried to figure out what was causing it and monitored my PC's performance. Performance-wise, everything is perfectly fine. And every other VR game I've launched before worked flawlessly. After reading through the discussions, I realized that some people experience this issue while others don't. So be very careful.
