Traditional drumming education often involves high costs, noise constraints, and limited access to skilled instructors, making it difficult for many to learn. "Virtual Drummer VR" addresses these challenges by integrating Virtual Reality (VR) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) to create an immersive, interactive drumming experience [1]. The program combines VR environments with AI-driven performance analysis to provide real-time feedback, personalized learning paths, and a comprehensive educational framework [2]. Key challenges included optimizing the software for different hardware and reducing latency, which were overcome using advanced algorithms and scalable cloud computing. Experimental results demonstrated that this approach significantly enhances user engagement, skill acquisition, and retention. Participants showed marked improvement in drumming proficiency and reported high satisfaction levels. "Virtual Drummer VR" offers an innovative, accessible, and scalable solution for drumming education, making it a valuable tool for learners of all skill levels, from beginners to advanced drummers, by providing a modern, effective approach to music learning.
