What players say

83% of 1,380 reviews are positive · 84% of 26 in the last 30 days

Players praise the core drumming, range of difficulty settings, and tools for practicing patterns without replaying entire songs. The dominant complaint is that much of the song catalog requires a subscription or separate purchases on top of the base game. Some also report slow menus, sparse online matchmaking, and timing calibration or stuttering problems.
