It forced me to play

I was playing a song until it was ova and i was excited and happy and i was about to leave and get off when all of a sudden it wouldnt let me leave. It played another song and forced me to play and wouldnt let me leave. I was begging telling it to make it stop but it wouldnt it just kept playing and i couldnt leave. It got so bad i started crying until i threw my headset off and waited for it to die. Truly a cruel and traumatizing experience i do not wish this upon my greatest enemy this was a scary experience and i do not intent to have again.

connect your e-drums

Connect your electronic drums with meta quest 3 directly with an USB cable and use paraddidle in AR mode, play with your real sticks and drums. it's an amazing combo! download your favorite songs from paradb-net for free, copy to meta quest. it's great! I have Alesis DM lite and quest 3s - it works great.

This VR game isn't just about hitting virtual drums; it's a full-blown immersive experience that lets you customize your drum kit in a way that feels deeply personal and creatively fulfilling. What truly sets Paradiddle VR apart for me is its versatility. It caters to all skill levels, making it a perfect platform whether you're just starting out or you're a seasoned drummer looking to practice without the bulk of a physical drum set.

Really good but flawed.

I'm going to start off by saying that I really like this game. It's very addictive and great fun, add the fact that you can add custom tracks to the mix and you've got a hell of a winning formula! Then add the fact you can connect it to a real electronic drum kit... Ye gods... What a great bit of software!!! However. Great as this game is, it has got a LOT of things that need fixing, and a lot of things I would change or alter slightly. For a start: being able to connect to a real kit is an amazing option, but it is flawed. I connect it to my Alesis Nitro Max, get everything set up... All great... Then halfway through a song, suddenly the hi-hat, crash and the middle tom (green) decide they're no longer going to register, so I have to go into the options for each drum to recalibrate. It also does this every time I select a new song... It's always the same three drums/cymbals and it's infuriating!! The menus are... Okay. BUT if you disconnect them from your arm and go with the "static" mode... They're anything but static. You move them to where you want them, play a song and once you finish, they're all over the place again. I mistakenly moved the note highway at one time trying to rearrange my menus for the millionth time and now I can't move it back to its default position, no matter how I try... The thing has doubled in size making it a lot harder to read since half is obscured by the kit and it's so wide that it's hard to see the whole thing. Every single time I load up a new song, the game automatically loads in a bunch of drums and cymbals that aren't even needed for the song I'm playing. I'll be playing a track with just the 3 toms, snare, hi-hat, crash and ride... And the game will, without fail, load in a second crash, a second ride, a second bass drum, a second floor tom, what I believe to be a China and two small splash cymbals... And they're not even used in the song!!! Even with the "load only drums used in songs" option turned on... As a suggestion, I'd also like to see a sort of scoreboard that compares your current play of a track to your personal best. It's all very well showing us a score while we play, but it means nothing if we don't know if we beat our previous best, if we hit more accurately etc... Did we get a new high score? Did we hit a higher percentage of notes? Who knows? As I said, I really do enjoy the game, it's amazing fun... But there are so many frustrating things about it too.
