Tombé Drums VR

#$%(ing fantastic for what it does: VR drum sim (with kick controls using separate accessories) that seems to take you as close to using many high-quality kits in your VR room as possible, with some limitations. (BTW, YES YOU CAN USE SMALL SEATED SPACES TO PLAY, BUT STEAMVR ROOM SETUP TWEAKING IS NECESSARY) I have experience with percussion in snares and minimally with kits (never had the space/volume capacity), but even someone who's never held drumsticks can pick up their motion controllers, play around and see there's a lot of good sounds with decent latency to work with from manufactures you may recognize. Hell, they can even begin to pick up some fills and start jamming---- if they were shown how. This software is the drumming portion from the parent The Music Room software which is designed to be a VR recording software, and like most you can work with, this one doesn't hold your hand in creating anything. You choose from 3 scenes to play from which are all nice visually (in an abstract way, not super detailed or anything), and you get access to all of the different kits in them, and bam, the rest is you. ______________________ Nitty Gritty As I love this software, I intend to use it to it's full potential to learn (and record, separately) and play what I can, but the potential has a ceiling. This isn't in any way fault of the developers, but the Vive controllers are heavier than most drum sticks and they're definitely a lot bulkier than any and that leads to things like holding the controller awkwardly-loose to more resemble how you hold normal sticks and you'll have moments where you drop them or throw them in your wrist movements, and that brings up another point. I find that I can't use many wrist movements because they don't sound as powerful as they would on a physical kit (partially fault of the controller's bulkiness changing the speed of what you're used to hitting), leading me to needing to use my arms primarily in drumming to get the sound I need which feels forced and not of good technique. I would know to approach IRL drums differently, but I'd hate for someone completely new to it to get the wrong idea of what they're doing, completely oblivious and perhaps setting bad habits for the future, I digress. You can't roll your notes because there is no physical drumhead that's recognized in the VR space. It's just a thing, but you can compensate for it with multiple notes decently. The latency is great with the Windows Audio or ASIO audio option, but for everything that's not the kick drum, you won't be registering hits as many times as you know you are (which is fine, technology limitation of VR in general?) if you try to hit 32nd notes or basically go 'metal' speeds on your drumheads, so you likely won't be able to pull off your favorite faster songs even if you physically can. It handles everything else really nicely. And I don't know if this is just me, but after a couple of times using the ASIO audio option, I no longer receive the option to select output audio and am forced to use the Windows Audio selection instead. I was (and still do through Windows Audio) running a mixer for the audio output and the kick controller input (Yamaha KU100), but Windows Audio isn't too different. You should also know that what kind of kick controller you use gives you different amounts of control over how fast you can (or can't) use the kick. With my Yamaha, it's comparable to the drumheads in VR: okay for everything that's not fast. Double bass moments can be more challenging than their real life counterpart (even with a single pedal), but I imagine if I had a whole kick controller with pedal, stick and pad it might be different. Who knows. ______________________ TL;DR Either way, this has inspired me to get a real kit (in time), and I'll be using this until and after then. Understanding the limitations and glories of this program, it's definitely worth the money. Have VR? Wanna pick up drums and learn at your own pace in a stress-free and low-commitment (cost of purchase) environment? Wanna play drums with little to no setup (outside of normal VR setup), record (with separate software) or livestream drumming without crazy expensive equipment? This had a demo, even. Check it out.

These people are criminals. I paid 20 damn dollars to spawn away from the kit. Best part is that there is no way to move without physically moving your seat or drum stool. Oh you'd also have to dig a hole into your floor because the kit spawns about with it being sunken into the ground. I hope you read this you criminals. Your game is garbage and you should be ashamed of yourselves for releasing such a terrible product

I got the Demo and thought it was pretty cool...I dont like that you cant reset your view (unless not that I have found) I purchased the game but in my opinion it was just fine with the single drum offered in the demo...I wish I didnt spend the 20 bucks for the whole version. if there is a refund option I am all for it.

very good and responsive vr-drumset! would love to have a spacebar-kickdrum solution like Paradiddle has,though..that said,brilliant vr drums with even the recording studio enviroments of Tool and Pink Floyd! get it. 9/10 (spacebar kickdrum;)

Doesn't start, shows a black screen both on monitor on oculus rift without sound.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥ 20 dollars for a game that crashes every five minutes
