Virtual reality (VR) offers the ability to learn new topics and advance one’s knowledge and skills efficiently and accurately. Due to a small amount of research in the area of VR as a tool to teach an individual an instrument, specifically the drums, a VR application has been built to teach an individual five drum rudiments. This research aims to understand if VR is a viable option as a method of teaching drum rudiments to those with little or no experience. The qualitative and quantitative results of this study indicate that the utilization of VR technology to teach drum rudiments is feasible.
