Got this from Yesasia the other day along with the official Konami Drummania controller but only had a chance to play the Drummania part properly tonight.
It's not the most beginner friendly music game as I learned when playing the arcade version in the London Torocadero last year however once you get used to the controller the game quickly becomes a lot of fun. The music is pretty varied with everything from anime opening tunes including Wild Challenger from Bobobo and proper heavy stuff like Dillinger Escape Plan, there's just under 70 songs all in which I think is the highest number of any GFDM CS release so far.
The controller itself was never going to be anything like the proper Yamaha drum kit that's attached to the arcade cabinet so arcade purists may balk at it especially the rather crappy foam bass pedal however once you accept this the controller really isn't as bad as some have made it out to be, much like the standard popn' music controller it may not be up to arcade standard but that doesn't stop it from being fun to play with (the really dedicated types can plug in a Yamaha DTX drumkit if they want true arcade authenticity anyway).
I'd highly recommend it to folks that liked Guitar Hero and other games in the whole Bemani/Rythmn Action genre.
