Aerodrums 3D

Aerodrums 3D is a free drumming simulation app from Aerodrums. It plays back a drum kit performance in a headset, and it also works as a 3D frontend for the Aerodrums instrument, showing your kit, your sticks and even your feet in the virtual scene. It was released on the Meta Horizon Store on May 11, 2021.

How it plays

On its own, the app shows a drum performance around you. Most of its features, though, are built for owners of the Aerodrums instrument. Once the two are connected, the app becomes a visual layer for your practice sessions:

• Reposition individual drum kit pieces in 3D
• Browse your music playlist
• Turn on a metronome
• Record your performances
• Switch between drum kits

The description points to the Aerodrums website for setup details. If you do not have the instrument, expect a limited experience; the store text does not describe what you can do without it beyond watching a performance.

Comfort

You can play seated or room-scale, with controllers.
