Drums Hero

Very, very fun game well worth it. If you ever thought your self a drummer you should try this game. If you are like me and played the drums in school but were never very good at reading music try this game. Honestly though the songs are nothing I would normally listen to but are not bad and fun to play. Game give a good job making you feel like a natural. Highly recommend.

This is very fun to do in VR I didn't had to much time yet to bring out my vive since i have this game but im going to play it more often a good tip: dont sit on a chair that have parts to lean your arms on if you want to hit the drums accurate :D The game have its own music list where you can choose from and with each song you can play free different difficult levels https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TkPpe-C73Pw

Loving this game! Its forgiving when you miss or hit something else, you can hear the mistake yet it blends in track that sometimes, that wrong hit makes it sound interesting. There are couple tracks I could play non-stop but many are not of my favorite. I like Manhat10 - Dream the most so far and wish that the developers would add a youtube or another choice of playing any songs we type in search field. So far its very limited in tracks and the game lacks training tracks, like youre being thrown into chaos straight from the start even if the songs start on easy and you need to work yourself to normal and hard via higher scoring. Kinda disappointing, as youre just throwing your arms everywhere. But I know this isnt a teaching drums game, its an arcade just like guitar hero and you miss the pedals. I thought triggers would do the trick, or that it unlocks in tougher difficulty, nope, sadly its not there. Still, the game is fun and actually, going to play few more songs before sleep. Its quite late as you can see the time of my review posting. Great game! Would recommend YES! Definitely, I have it in BEST VR category of my games, good job devs, but PLEASE DEVS give us the option to play any song like other song games do. Drums, bass and hights should not be hard to be generized, or? PLEASE CONSIDER THIS as the list of songs so far is too low, and my selection limits it to less than number of fingers on 1 hand :((((((((( I want MUSE, Metallica and lots of others like Deadmau5, you cant please everyone so please add the option! EDIT: Months go by, no support whatsoever. Have not seen a single new song added since first reviewing the game. Coming soon guys. Gets annoying for real. Other music games like audioshield lets you play random song. This wont do nothing but give you about 20? Games good, developers suck. And I aint sorry for saying this. They act like the game doesnt exist, or am I wrong here? I bet you I aint.

本作は類似のゲーム、Garage Drummer VRやDrummer Talent VRに比べて現状最も音ゲーとして遊べるゲームである。 Garage Drummerはただただ音源無しでドラムを叩くだけなので置いておいて、Drummer Talent VRと比較すると以下の点が優れている。 ・圧倒的なノードが見やすさ ・曲にしっかりマッチした、作りこまれたノード ・豊富な曲 Drummer Talentと比べてマイナス要素は以下である。 ・エフェクトや背面のグラフィックが綺麗ではない ・作りこまれたノードの高難易度を挑むために、現状必ず低難易度をクリアする必要がある 　これはある程度叩ける人間のことを無視した作りである。経験者にはノードの簡略化をされたほうがかえって難しい。ただしDrummer Talentとは違い、ハイハット等でリズムキープをしてもBAD扱いにはならないのが救いである。 が、正直言えば曲ごとにまず単調な譜を必ずプレイしなければならないのは辛い。改善を期待したい。 更に独自の問題として基本的にノードは見やすいものの、曲の決まった場所で、譜の流路に傾斜がつく。これは酔いを誘発するし、またせっかくの見やすいノードを一部ではあるが台無しにしてしまっている。 フィルインのような多少のテクニカルな技術が必要な局面でも先の見づらい傾斜になることがあるので、その箇所が非常に叩きづらくなってしまう。これは本来のドラムテクニックとは全く別の、無意味な難しさである。 経験者からすればいくらかの気になる点があるものの、恐らく現状では最もプレイが楽しいドラムゲームであることは間違いない。現状ではバスドラムに対応していないが、いずれ対応する「かも」とのことであり、購入自体は時期早かもしれない。 個人的にはさらなる進化を期待したい。

The Good: [list] [*]Nice and clear graphics [*]The sound, you can hear the drums nicely with the music [*]Good drum response time [*]Fun party game [/list] The Bad [list] [*]Had a hard time with Vive controllers and getting things to work [*]Occasionally the drums were unresponsive, if not hit exactly in the middle [*]By yourself boring after 15 minutes can see more fun as a party game. [*]Song choices are ♥♥♥♥ and no option for your own [/list] Still a recommend if you're into these guitar hero type of games otherwise maybe give it a miss.

As others have said, hitting the drum doesn't appear to line up with the music at all. I can do pretty well playing the game by just aligning with the notes, but when I get a streak of perfects it is as if I'm playing the music to a _different_ song. Alternatively, if I play to the beat of the music I miss almost all of the notes. I think I could find this game fun if it felt like the notes matched up, even closely. Perhaps adding a delay setting that allowed me to move the bar forward/backwards would help as I would then be able to set it up so it _felt_ synced to me. Note: I play with bluetooth headphones. Normally I experience zero delay with games, but perhaps its related. Note 2: When I hit the drum, I can see my stick going through the drum and then a moment _later_ the sound comes through my headphones, so I don't think its just a problem with the notes lining up.

*Edit after Patch 1.1* Since this update, I have changed my recommendation for this game from a "No" to a "Yes". There have been significant graphical and GUI changes and a variety of needed options have been promised to come soon. But the MOST IMPORTANT part of this update is the improvement to the drum response time. There was originally a substantial delay between hitting the drums and the sound being played which made it very difficult to play on the beat. There is still a bit of a delay but it hasVERY MUCH IMPROVED making the game much more enjoyable to play. Most of the songs I have played since this update have been synced well - showing "Perfect" when the drums are played accurately to the audio cues in the song but one song (can't remember the name, sorry) was very out. To get "Perfect" hits I needed to hit the drums about 1/4 second after the beat. There seems to be a problem with the leaderboards. For most of the songs the leaderboards were empty, showing my position as "0". Even after I replayed the songs my leaderboard position stayed at "0". This will need to be fixed. __________________________________________________________ *Edit after Patch 1.0.2* The update has fixed the "Miss" issue when you play to the beat but there is still a significant delay between when you hit the drum and when the sound plays. This is very offputting. If this issue can't be resolved I would like to be able to turn off the drum hit sounds (turn the volume of the drum kit all the way down) so the only drum sounds that I hear come from the track itself. That way I won't be hearing double hits every time I play "on the beat". __________________________________________________________ *Original Review* I purchased this game last night and played for a bit over an hour. I'm a drummer so I wanted to like this game. Everything about the game, graphics, music, difficulty etc was great...except...THE LATENCY ISSUE. The drum sounds would trigger a fraction of a second after the drum hit. It was very noticeable and made the game frustrating to play for someone who tries to drum on the beats of the songs. A few times the game would appear to pause to load for about a half second which caused the music and the visual cues to be totally out of sync. I tried looking for a setting that would allow custom timing, like the guitar hero games, but It wasn't there. I'll probably continue to play this game because I love drumming in VR but I can only recommend the game when the latency issue is totally sorted out.
