## What is Lion Dance Beats?

Feel the beat of the lion dance — free to play!

Lion Dance Beats is a rhythm drumming game built on authentic Chinese lion dance music. If you love music games, drum games, or tap-to-the-beat rhythm play, this brings a fresh cultural twist.

REAL DRUMMING TECHNIQUE
Tap the centre for DOM, the sides for DUK, hit the cymbals and gong, and swipe for the big flourishes — all in time with a guiding partner drummer.

THREE WAYS TO PLAY
• Race Mode — progress through stages of authentic patterns
• Team Mode — drum, cymbals and gong together
• Challenge Mode — an endless, ever-changing run. Survive as long as you can and climb the live leaderboard
• Free Drum — jam freestyle with no rules

LEARN FROM SCRATCH
A guided, interactive tutorial teaches every stroke step by step. Then choose Easy, Medium or Hard speed on any level.

AUTHENTIC RHYTHMS
Genuine lion dance patterns — Punch-Up, Base, Verse, Mu Fai, Banner sets and more, transcribed from real performance drumming.

COMPETE
Post your Challenge survival time to the global leaderboard and see how you rank.

Whether you're a complete beginner or a seasoned drummer, Lion Dance Beats makes learning this beautiful tradition fun. Free to download — grab your sticks and play!
