Motion controls are fine for normal mode and below, especially when you realise you can just hold down a shoulder button to perform the side hits instead.
Once you play in hard and above they're basically worthless. I think the best way to play the game (other than the drums) is definitely the touchscreen. I didn't really have issues with the joycons getting in the way, but it's still dumb you have to have them attached.
@Ogbert I had a few issues at first. I had to really smack it to the extent I felt like maybe it was not working properly. The good news is, the more you play, the more responsive it becomes (from my experience). Now I don't have to hit it half as hard, so I guess you just kinda have to wear it down a little bit.
As for the calibration, it is a bit of a nightmare and I think a lot of people might never get it right. Setting your TV to 'game mode' if you have the option helps. Then it's just a matter of spending a while figuring out how the options work. I think I had to change the top option to -14 or so to get it right, the rest were fine.
