The music aspect of the game is well-received, featuring a variety of tracks across four albums, including traditional Japanese styles, and offering custom song support that enhances the overall experience. While the soundtrack is enjoyable and fits the taiko drumming genre, some users noted technical issues like slowdowns and a desire for louder drum hit sounds to improve timing. Overall, it is considered a solid, budget-friendly VR rhythm game, though it may not reach the heights of top-tier titles like Beat Saber or Ragnarock.
- “If you want a super easy to learn, easy to master VR rhythm game with some pretty good songs and custom song support, grab it; it's super cheap for how well done it is.”
- “There are currently multiple songs and difficulties to choose from, and even an option to create and modify songs.”
- “I enjoyed the musical soundtrack, which had enough variety but still fit the taiko drumming genre.”
- “Solid VR music rhythm game, just not top tier, with maybe some technical hiccups.”
- “Only two complaints I do have with this game is it does seem to have random slowdowns for me that I do not usually have in VR that does impact the ability to hit notes, but it is not a big issue when it is near the intro of the song as you can just restart easily and quickly.”
- “I would like to see an option to make the drum hit sounds louder than they are now, as I am used to games like Beat Saber where you can make the note slash sounds as loud or louder than the song itself to help with timing and knowing when I hit the drum.”

- “The gameplay itself is very fun and unique compared to other taiko games as it splits the notes into two lanes.”
- “This game is super fun! I'm sure that the gameplay will not change, so I can have a fair assumption of the game.”
- “You can view my gameplay and early impressions here: https://youtu.”
- “The first issue is that I lost tracking about three separate times during my almost two hours of gameplay.”
- “The other issue, which I'm pretty sure is the game's fault, was that I noticed a few micro-stutters (about two to three times during the two hours of gameplay).”
