So far every attempt at providing a drumming experience in VR has been a miserable failure, and this is no exception. There are some serious issues that may not be surmountable. Foot pedals are essential; without feet you can't do much but play the bongos. Precision collision detection is essential - when a stick pixel lightly brushes a cymbal pixel there has to be a reaction, otherwise all sense of presence, interaction and tactility disappears. Velocity and weight must be accounted for, and not just one or two 'settings', but a full range of dynamic force detection that alters not just volume but also the tone and timbre of the instrument struck. Similarly, the different parts of each instrument must make different sounds; hitting the rim of the cymbal and the bell should sound recognizably different.But perhaps most important of all, and the point which makes me doubt the ability of VR to ever simulate drums well, the sticks need to bounce off a reactive surface. Without a surface to work off, most of the technique of drumming is gone - no dragging, no rapid percussion, no way to develop fluid rhythm. Not to mention the strain that constantly arresting your hand movement and drawing it back up (non-drummers might not realize that much of the energy of drumming comes from the force of gravity+rebound); long-term this is a recipe for wrist ligament damage. TLDR: VR drumming is like playing basketball without a floor. Initial review from someone who can hold a beat. Garage Drummer VR shows incredible promise even in this early, unpolished version. It's a virtual drumkit! Wanted one of these since I first bought a Vive and it costs less than a meal at Taco Bell.After about 15 minutes of playing around I was able to work out a good, steady beat and even a bit of fill. I never thought it would be so intuitive after such a short time.The cons:- Text is terribly aliased, unreadable in any of the graphic options.- The menu selection is fidgety. Clicked on the garage door opener half a dozen times before anything happened. Same for graphics selection.- I know there's a snare rim hit but I can't hit it accurately.- No spatial audio. Everything sounds mono.What I'd like to see in future updates:- Metronome adjustment- Deperately needs a loop recorder\/player so I can build on basic beats. Loop recorder should have adjustable beat time.- A way to move, add drums to the set- A way to adjust the room around the player like Pool Nation does. Frankly this should be a part of every VR experience from now on. It's that good.- Programmable, importable drum sounds\/effects.- Love the top\/bottom hit on the cymbals, reproduces a great roll effect with one hand. Want to see that on drums too.- Reprogrammable buttons, PLEASE!. pretty cool game although I'm not convinced playing the drums translates really well to VR. Very fun if you just want something to screw around on. I made a 1.5 minute video review here: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=kAf1rkffYFU. It's a very interesting idea and a something new for my VR. It's still in early access so I hope they will improve on quite a few things. At the moment when you hit the drums it's a bit like hitting a button, it plays the same sound no matter what. In future I hope they will add more technical detail to it, like difference in sound depending on how hard you smash it, being able to drag the stick on the surface and hear the sound it makes. But as it stands in it's current state it's still a very much so functioning drummer set. This however is definitely not a "game" there are no objectives and so on, so if you plan on buying this just know that it's a drum set, not guitar hero. They have a board in the game with upcoming features, and they sound very promising.. great idea an potencial space to develop even further. Watch here comparison on three VR drum gamesIdea was good, but accuracy is not. Most of hits are missing. It's very good that you have lots items to pick up, but I don't think that it's realy important in drum simulator. Browser and youtube are not conveniently, I always missed search line and always browser spawns through roof or under floor. All I liked here is environment. Drums sound also could be better. Look how it made in Drums Hero or DrumKit VR. Barely works on any graphics settings with a decent card and no updates in a very long time.
