📖 How to Play

Hit every note as it crosses the strike line: the low drum (cyan circle) with F or the left pad, the high drum (magenta diamond) with J or the right pad. Within 60 ms is Perfect, within 120 ms is Good; missing a note or tapping the wrong drum costs energy. Finish the song without draining your energy. If your audio is delayed, adjust the input offset below the pads.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you play Beat Drum?

Notes fall down two lanes towards two drums. When a note crosses the fixed strike line, hit its drum: the low drum (cyan circle) with F, the left arrow or the left pad; the high drum (magenta diamond) with J, the right arrow or the right pad. Each note belongs to one drum, so read the shape and the lane rather than only the colour.

What counts as Perfect and Good in Beat Drum?

Timing is judged on the musical clock: within 60 ms of the note is Perfect (100 points) and within 120 ms is Good (60 points). Tapping with no note in the window costs energy and breaks your combo, and letting a note pass costs more energy than a wrong tap. Final accuracy is (Perfect + 0.6 × Good) ÷ total notes.

Is Beat Drum playable on a phone, and does it need a download?

Yes. It is designed mobile-first with two large touch pads under the board, and it also plays on desktop with the keyboard. No download, no signup and no account: the song is synthesised in your browser and only your best score is stored locally, per difficulty.
