Paradiddle
So much more than a VR drum kit. Learn to drum step by step, flex your skills with the built-in rhythm game, and build your own custom kit from a library of 60+ percussive instruments without the limitations of money or physical space. Fun, intuitive drumming for pros and newcomers alike!

— a player, Steam review · 424 hrs played“Paradiddle is a super underappreciated VR rhyhtm-game. Along with Beat Saber, this is a rhythm game I find myself returning to frequently. While the base songs are great, the modded song catalogue is where it's at! The game itself is super polished. Couldn't recommend this one…”
— a player, Steam review · 84 hrs played“It's actually giving me a real refresher course on drums that I have not played in over 20 years. It's amazing and not just some cheesy Rock Band wanna be game. Worth it.”
