The music in the game significantly enhances the overall experience, making it enjoyable and fun to play, especially at its low price point of €5. Users appreciate the solid drum kit feature, which allows even non-musicians to create catchy beats and have a great time.
“I thought seeing the comments that it was unplayable, but with some music, it's really fun. For 5€, well, it's not like it was 20€, it is worth this little price because it is quite well done.”
“Fun to play with some music.”
“It's a pretty solid drum kit, and I enjoyed playing them. Not being a musician by trade (much less one who plays the drums), I could put out some pretty catchy beats, and it was a heck of a lot of fun.”
