The music aspect of the game is highly praised by users, particularly for its potential to enhance rhythm practice and musical skills through interactive play. While it serves as a fun simulation for those with some musical background, it may pose challenges for beginners due to its reliance on knowledge of music theory and drum techniques. Users appreciate the ability to customize their sound experience, although some technical issues and limitations regarding recording capabilities have been noted.
“This is a hidden gem for those who like music.”
“Benefits of practicing rhythms (as a general musician) using this app would include stimulating your visual memory as well as your ears as you can watch and listen to what you play at the same time.”
“If you're even a little bit musical, you have to get this!”
“Right now it's only fun until the novelty wears off or you start wanting to make some serious music.”
“Dvdrum is just a simulation game, not music editor software; you have to play it by keyboard or drumkit toys.”
“One more thing, dvdrum doesn't support recording software, so if you want to make a video with your drumkit cover of some music tracks, you need to find recording software to record your gameplay.”

The gameplay of dvdrum is well-suited for beginners, allowing those unfamiliar with drumming to engage using a keyboard without issues, even under heavy use. However, it lacks built-in recording software, necessitating external tools for users who wish to create video covers of their performances.
“I think the gameplay of dvdrum is good for beginners who don't know how to play the drums and are just playing with the keyboard (like me) or don't play real drums in real life.”
“It has MIDI input, by the way, but I pound my mechanical keyboard mercilessly and it is still holding on with no breaks or keys falling off.”
“One more thing, dvdrum doesn't support recording software, so if you want to make a video with your drum kit covering some music tracks, you need to find the recording software to record your gameplay.”

The optimization of the game has been criticized for leaving players feeling stagnant and unengaged, likening the experience to playing a drum synth without any meaningful interaction or progression. This lack of optimization contributes to a sense of frustration and disconnection from the gameplay.
“Then, this just grows cobwebs until you feel like playing a drum synth without being able to do anything with your performance.”
