Hey everyone!
We got 26 submissions for this year's contest (more than double from last year's number!) from 14 different drummers. To all of you who have submitted a drum cover - thank you so much! With your help, we're able to showcase Paradiddle's capabilities and share it with the rest of the VR community. We got some fantastic submissions this year, so I'd highly recommend checking out the full playlist of submissions, as well as the top 10.
We decided to change things up a bit and get a panel of judges to pick our Top 3 this year. The full judge lineup includes some big VR personalities like Cas and Chary and Kent Bye from Voices of VR. They were all very impressed by the quality of the submissions and had a tough time making their picks, but after some deliberation, here's the top 3:
1) In Regards to Myself - Underoath | Cover by SHartwell (ShartWell on the PD Discord):

2) Diamond Heart - Alan Walker | Cover by SyLaDoRe (bub92 on Discord):

3) Clocks - Coldplay | Cover by HowDoesOneEven (caravan3511 on Discord):

Congratulations! Once again, a huge thank you to all of our performers this year, to everyone who voted, and our wonderful judges. As I mentioned with the Top 10 announcement, every submission is going to get some prize this year, and I'll be contacting all of the performers shortly about their prize choices. I hope you all record more songs/covers in Paradiddle in the future as well - thanks to you all we're able to really showcase how powerful this app can be for music creation and creativity.
Thanks!
- Emre
