Scoring & Fairness

Your timing is measured against the exact frame of the drum hit in the original video. We use high-precision JavaScript timers (performance.now()) to ensure accuracy down to the millisecond.

The target timestamp is calibrated to the audio waveform, not video frames, ensuring consistent results across devices.

No tricks, no luck—just pure rhythm skill.
