The music in the game has received mixed reviews, with some players appreciating the variety of indie tracks across genres like pop, rock, and alternative, while others criticize the limited selection and poor synchronization between the notes and the music. Many users find the song choices to be subpar or not fitting for a drumming game, leading to a frustrating experience, especially when the gameplay mechanics require playing songs multiple times to unlock higher difficulties. Overall, while some tracks are enjoyable and well-suited for drumming, the inconsistency in quality and syncing issues detract from the overall musical experience.
- “There are a lot of nice and cool songs from indie pop, rock, and alternative styles.”
- “All the music included is mostly unknown songs from indie artists from multiple genres (from rock to dance), but they're pretty decent choices and none of the tracks come across as low quality or talentless; I even sought some of them out on Spotify.”
- “The drum sequences for the songs are very well made and very fun to play along with the song.”
- “The notes are just not syncing with the music.”
- “The music options are terrible.”
- “This is less relevant but the music choices were atrocious... the only good song was the first one (the theme), aside from that there was no real rock/metal, it was dnb and love songs and whatnot... totally the wrong feel for a drumming game.”

grinding

Players find the grinding aspect of the game tedious, as it requires them to start with only two songs on easy difficulty and unlock higher difficulties by achieving specific percentages, which can feel slow and frustrating for those with more advanced skills.
- “You only have two songs in the game to start, and you can only begin on easy difficulty. You must beat easy at a certain percentage to unlock the next difficulty. This makes the game very slow and tedious for players, especially for those who can play drums or similar games better than just hitting one drum at a time for the entire song length.”
- “The grinding required to unlock new content feels excessive and detracts from the overall enjoyment of the game. It becomes a chore rather than a fun challenge.”
- “I find the grinding aspect to be frustrating. It feels like I'm just repeating the same tasks over and over without any real sense of progress or reward.”
