** The reason I like Paradiddle ** (I'm not a drummer and I want to have fun by making noise by hitting something. XD )

**1. ** **Complexity and Cost** Learning or playing a drum set in the real world requires relatively large and expensive equipment, such as a drum set, cymbals, a snare drum, a chair, and drumsticks. This may not be suitable for people with limited budgets or space.

**2. ** **Noise** Drum sets are noisy instruments that can be annoying to others nearby. People who live in dormitories or apartments may need to be especially careful about noise.

**3. ** **Space Requirements** Drum sets require a relatively large amount of space, which may be inconvenient for people with limited space.

**4. ** **Difficulty in Practicing** Drum sets are tools that require skill and hard practice to play well. Practicing alone can be difficult and may not be as effective as it should be.

**5. ** **Repetition** Practicing the drum set can be repetitive, which can make learners feel bored and discouraged.

**6. ** **Lack of Motivation** Practicing the drum set can require a lot of effort and patience, which can make learners lose motivation and give up eventually.

**7. ** **Lack of Feedback** Practicing alone can make learners unable to see their own mistakes, which can have a negative impact on their drum playing development.

**8. ** **Lack of Interaction** Playing the drums is an activity that requires interaction with others. Practicing alone can make learners feel lonely and lack inspiration.

**9. ** **Lack of Fun** Playing the drums should be an enjoyable and fun activity. If practicing becomes boring, it can make learners lose interest in playing the drums.

**10. ** **Limited Equipment** Drum sets in the real world have equipment limitations, such as size, weight, and material, which may not be suitable for those who want to experiment or play new genres of music.

**When compared to VR drum sets**, these challenges or obstacles are reduced or eliminated. VR drum sets have several advantages, such as:

* **Convenience and Affordability** VR drum sets do not require real equipment, so they are more convenient and affordable.

* **Noiseless** VR drum sets produce little noise, making them suitable for people who want to practice at home or in a dormitory.

* **Space-saving** VR drum sets do not require much space, making them suitable for those with limited space.

* **Convenient to practice** VR drum sets can be practiced anywhere, anytime, making them more convenient than practicing alone.

* **Various playing styles** VR drum sets have various playing styles, making them suitable for those who want to experiment or play new genres of music.

However, VR drum sets still have some limitations, such as:

* **Not yet widely popular** VR drum sets are not yet widely popular, so it may be difficult to find equipment or training programs.

* **Not yet very realistic** VR drum sets are less realistic than real drum sets, which may make learners feel less enjoyable or familiar.

**In conclusion**, learning or playing a drum set in the real world and in VR both have different advantages and disadvantages. Those who are interested in learning or playing the drums should carefully consider the advantages and disadvantages of each format to choose the most suitable format for themselves.

and again! that's all the reasons I like Paradiddle :lunar2019grinningpig:

Congrats on the release! I'm excited to play some multiplayer with a friend of mine. As a charter, I'll admit that I was a little disappointed when I didn't see custom song support at launch, but hearing that it's planned is awesome!

Thank you for all your hard work!

Best drums app ever. You are amazing!

Ok I wasn't expecting this. This is huge (so is adding the multiplayer tag on steam haha) ! Excited to see you are working on getting custom songs back.

The concept of jamming online in VR is a genuine childhood dream, thanks for being a pioneer towards this development.
A server browser with the ability to create public games would be amazing. Drums transcend social communication, you don't need to be friends with someone or have spoken a word to them to play music together. Bring more people the chance to play online together!

Nice update, thanks!
Any Pico version love too?

I hope this is on your steam review, it will get lost here.

Amazing work!

I believe this update has broken compatibility with Rock Band drum pedals. My computer is detecting the pedal getting hit, but it's not registering a hit in the game.
Catfather Nov 21, 2023 @ 7:40am

GM Sanjit Ramesh Nov 23, 2023 @ 11:37pm 
After some testing, left quest controller doesn't seem to be read by the game? Tried beatsaber to see if it was my controller but worked in game, even tried restarting.

I have exactly the same problem unfortunately

NOOOO, why doesn't it work anymore with the Pico 4???

Edit: I got a black screen, could hear everything but saw nothing.
Got it fixed by going into properties, launch options and using "Launch Paradiddle in Forced OpenVR in Steam VR Mode". Thanks to the Discord!
