Official Taiko no Tatsujin (Taiko Drum Master) thread

Dancing Dan

This is the official taiko no tatsujin (taiko drum master in america) This thread is for any issues with the drum itself obvioulsy because it is in this lovely new Controller and Hardware section. Technically this isnt a bemani game, but it is a music game

i actually have a question about the drum. Ive used mine quite alot, and i noticed that the drum started peeling. The drum i know is rubber, but why is it that it starts peeling like an eraser? I literaly cleaned off eraser shavings off of my drum! Im just hoping this doesnt kill the drum at all!

Does anyone know what the American Version of the game's drum looks like?

Also, the Donkey Konga bongo drums thread was allowed since in the announcement it touched on that subject so I believe this thread is all okay. =]

Yes, I give this thread my official blessing.

It's basically for anything that'd fall in DDR Consoles or OB&MG, except strictly for hardware.

Take note though - these threads aren't for discussing the game itself - just for the hardware. The Donkey Konga thread is a good example. People are discussing the durability of the controller, and alternate clap methods.

Thanx Cutriss

Yeah i just wanted to talk about the drum. Cuz ive been afraid to play anymore due to the fact that it seems to peel a bit. The drum itself still works and its sensitivity is fine, but for some reason it peels and it worries me. I was just hoping that i wouldnt have to buy another drum cuz i know the japanese ones i have will most likely work on the american one which is coming out later this month.

Can't you just like smack the drum instead of using the stick. I think that would maybe slow the "ageing process" of it, that is if you smack it lightly/Donkey Konga style.

I know exactly what ur talking about, except that u need to hit the edges of the drum, which is hard via hands. The sticks seem the easiest way. Plus the drum is angled and with the patterns the hardest level for the songs have, it would make my hands fall off

I hope Namco sells the drum seperately as well as with the bundle for the US version. On EBGames.com all they have is the bundle with the game and the official drum but the drum they have for sale standalone is a Red Octane drum, for $39.99. I'd rather just buy 2 bundles, keep both drums and sell 1 of the games then spend $39.99 on a 3rd party drum.

What? They're selling the game for $39.99 I believe and for the drum/game bundle it costs $59.99.
