$50 drum vs $75 drum vs $380 drum | Nintendo Switch Drum Controllers for Taiko no Tatsujin 

Dear snare drummers. You don't need to hold taiko bachi like a real drumstick. It's quite different because if you do use your pinky on the back of the bachi, it stops the roll movement (how taiko no tatsujin !NOT DRUMMING! rolls work is where you pinch your index finger and thumb around the stick, nothing else on the stick. Your finger and thumb becomes a pivot for the stick to move up and down via drum bounce. This is not double stroking, you are using 1 stick to hit the drum over 5 times in a single hit.) The tatacons cannot roll because their material stops the sticks from bouncing. Taiko bachi is also 2x thicker than Western drumsticks. Also the drum is so solid and rubbery compared to a snare, a pinky behind your stick would really hurt. You CAN play taiko like a real drum, but taiko no tatsujin's rolling ends up way more efficient than proper drumming techniques because it takes less effort. You literally only swing once for 10-14 hits. That's all!

Anyone else end up here after watching that one guy play Megalovania on Taiko no Tatsujin?

An unofficial company: *makes brandless drum* An actual company: *makes official drum console* That random guy: *Amateurs.*

Got this randomly recommended and all I can say is that this is one of the best quality reviews I've seen for anything in ages.

I took Band class for 4 years as a percussionist and seeing a beat game like Taiko no Tatsujin implementing drum rolling is just brilliant. Although the method of grip when rolling is different on Taiko no Tatsujin it still very cool to see this for the first time.

I don't play this game, i don't know why i'm watching this but it's cool

It's not only the surface you hit on that does the rebound but also the sticks, wood sticks have more rebound.

You watch one guy play megalovania on taiko, next minute your RU-vid recommends videos like this.

I watched this review, and decided to purchase the $50 drum. So far, I think that it was the best decision. Your review was spot on, and i'm enjoying every second of using it. I recently posted a video of me playing a song on it, so thanks for this review :)

I have zero knowledge of or experience with the competitive taiko no tastujin community, but I still watched the whole video, for some reason...

2:40 bottom right nice mouse cursor

Thank you for using my drumstick !! Did you buy on Amazon??

I would love to see a video like, “taiko player vs western snare drum” or smth- cause if I was still in high school I would for SURE be trying to play shit like this lol

3:51 Thank you for playing!!!!!!!!

Well I guess I'm getting this game then.

Thanks for making such a helpful video, It's always nice to be able to see what the differences are.

Another thing that’s worth mentioning is that (for me it happened at least) after using the brandless drum for a while it tends to input don hits when not actually hitting the input, so generally if you want a taiko controller for switch, save up a few more bucks for the hori one.

Hi, this vid just sort of randomly appeared on my recommended, I just wanna say how awesome it is to see a Singaporean channel, not about Singapore do so well, please keep killing the game 🎉

Best comparative video 🖤🖤🖤 thaaaaaank u so much

Great video, I fell in love with a lot of rythm games in japanese arcades. So I now look for reviews on how to replicate the feeling at home

Taiko No Tatsujin fans: Nice you're making a vid about Taiko no Tatsujin Osu players: TAIKO COPY

This video helped get me into Taiko on the Switch with the Hori drum. It also introduced me to your channel. You're the best.

Very interesting and informative! Thank you so much for the subtitles. It can be difficult for me to understand spoken English with unfamiliar accents. They really help. ♡

After visiting Kyoto, I became obsessed with taiko. I quickly ordered the Wii taiko controller, only to realize how unsatisfying it felt. I’m glad we’ve got something closer to the arcade, even if it’s 380$ :P

Drums: *move* Players: *it appears a crime has been committed.*

This video explained to me questions I never asked about a game I've never heard about Still watched the whole thing lol, was worth it

Very nice! This is a whole new world for me and your videos are very good for learning :)

6:57 did she just rick rolled us?

I came across this game at an arcade about 6 years ago and I fell in love with it instantly I’ve been wanting to buy it for console!

I've played this game at arcades before. Super fun game!! Love the quality of the review from you ❤️🌹

Best review on these drums. Thank you so much

i know it's not, but the lvl5 sounds like a practice pad and i love it, it's satisfying asf

Taikoforce　欲しいな〜 あ、日本人の人🙋

Ah this video was super cool! I'm really excited to set up my little taiko no tatsujin corner in my home and this will be super helpful!!

Thanks for sharing such a detailed video! My wife and I love Taiko but we were unsure what tatacon to get. We'll probably get the Official Hori after seeing this. :)

This is one of my most favourite games and thanks to this, I found out about the rolling technique I didn’t know about. But when I saw the thin drumsticks I got surprised because the ones we use are entirely thick and made of wood so I don’t think I can necessarily do the rolls unless I can handle the hit. I will try this technique once we’re allowed back out again.

ごにはニキが地味に紹介されてて嬉しくなった

Thankyou, this was an informative video, and a top quality product review

this helped a lot when i was looking for a drum controller for the game, thanks!

Thanks for making this video. I was wanting a second drum so my husband and I could play together but I was weary of the cheaper version.

Oh god I loved playing this game when I was a kid. So nostalgic~

Thank you for these!!!

Thanks for the video, this was really helpful.

いい動画ですね！見ていてとても楽しかったです！

Thank you for making this video. I wanted to get a drum controller for my Switch version because the motion controls on the joycons seems too sensitive sometimes, but also not registering on rare occasion. This is my first time playing a game in this franchise and I want to experience it with the drums.

Great review. Quality content.

とても日本人にも分かりやすいです！これからも頑張ってください！

I just got the nameless brand in, and I had to look into if it was just me or if the controller was holding me back. It's my first time getting into taiko, but not my first time in rhythm games. This video definitely made me decide to go and spend the extra on the official controller. and yes the nameless brand slide around so much.

Man, people actually use a Drum for that?? I’m jealous of Rhythm game players, they get the coolest controllers and the best skills

Watching you play feels so relaxing lol

Now I know what I want for my birthday....that TAIKOFORCE!!! I simply can’t thank you enough for doing a review on the drums. I’m super obsessed with this game. You have no idea, I wish in the future for this awesome experience soon. 😭😭❤️

Who would buy a drum for 300$ ? **proceeds to buy a keyboard for 200$**

Bruh I went to band for 4 years for drumming when I could of just done this. Such a dissapointment.

Perfect timing, I just upgraded from a switch lite to a normal switch and wanted to get a drum controller. Was about to buy the knockoff, googled the difference and found your video. After seeing the difference, now I will buy a hori! Would like a taikoforce lvl5.... but lets see how good I get first :p Thankyou for making this video! :)

Great video! Also, nice flexing your taiko skills on us!

The big Taikoforce drum actually looks like a good practice drum for people who properly play Taiko. Though I’ve already bought a shimedaiko myself for twice the amount... 😅

is tokaku sponsored by kfc 😳

You are awesome, thank you.

Thanks for explaining this previously unknown topic to me ✌️

This was very informative! I actually bought the $50 drum for my Switch and noticed that the drumrolls were really bringing me down during online matches. I might get an official drum sometime in the future.

太鼓コントローラーの比較ですね。素晴らしい！

I’ve never watched a taiko video ever and this looks so badass and I think I’m getting into it

I’ve never heard of this game let alone played it but I’m so glad this was in my recommended

The brandless one reminds me so much of the Wii one. I bought one just to see what it is like but after playing a song or two just resorted to using the remotes.

I can recognise a fellow Singaporean’s accent anywhere

Girl your good at that

Fantastic. I finally understood how long bars run, you need that bounce. I have the Hori and the economic one, but now I want the big one haha. A greeting.

wow someone made an arcade sized drum.. that is pretty awesome.

I've only used the official switch Taiko drum, but got really annoyed at how much it would move around when you hit it, even after inserting water bottles in the bottom slot of the stand. I also felt like you had to hit it really hard for it to register your hit. The 380$ drum is really, really tempting though...!!!

You got me to buy this game I'm liking it so far!

I've found a new guilty pleasure and subscribed as a consequence 😋

wow I was actually thinking about taiko drums when I saw this video

Seeing this is actually really cool, even though I don't own any Taiko game myself.

Great video thanks

This is great Thank you

In this way, I love you because I explained it in an easy-to-understand manner even for those who do not know Taiko no Tatsujin, and I enjoyed playing Taiko no Tatsujin! I'm sorry I'm not good at English! I used Google Translate!

3:32 where the oura of arcaea appear

Wow, so impressive, like, you are so good 😮

This looks so fun to do in quarantine

The most responsive of the PS4, Switch, and wii Taiko controllers is the Switch Taiko controller, and the PS4 and wii Taiko controllers are sometimes unresponsive, often with a corkboard or clay inside to make them more responsive.

I want a taiko force lvl5 so much.... it looks amazing. The feeling of an official taiko cab is incomparable. If the Taiko force lvl5 can replicate that feeling no priceis too high! I might need to save some money.

Super!i love this game

I was about to purchase the off brand one until I saw this video, thanks for making this so I didn't get a bad controller

I wonder, wouldn't it just be a good idea to buy a drum pad, like the ones you'd find on an electronic drum set? They have sensors for the rim and the pad itself, and you can even get mesh heads, which I imagine would feel very nice.

Me wondering what poor liquor store ima have to rob to be able to get the 380 dollar drum for Gura

tbh this is the most satisfying gameplay ever

Can't wait do buy my taikoforce this Friday

When doing the drum roll, because it has no knock back I just hit the drum repeatedly even though I know it’s now supposed to be like that, it still works really well and you can get around 20+ drum rolls (as in the fan opens up on the top and says how many hits for the drum roll you did)

What the hell im sitting here 12 at the night AND THIS IS ON MY RECOMENDED WHEN I DONT WATCH DRUM!!!!!!!!!!

been using the Hori Drum for a few months now...it is a fantastic drum controller for sure

Some days ago I started with taiko and... DAMN I LOVE IT. I'd love to have one of those

I’ve been seeing this game recommended to me almost everywhere. Might consider buying it

Thank you for sharing your experience with the drums. Really needed someone to show the difference between them. The sound/loudness when you hit them was quite important to me as well as how firm they stand. There is just one more question I have: How is your experience with the latency? I talked to many people about all three drums, but it seems like most experience different offsets especially when you compare different drums to each other. Could you maybe give comment to that? I'm about to buy the Taikoforce, but it worries me if the latency might be bigger than expected. Greetings from someone who is since 10 years a fan of TNT

The way she rubbed the taikoforce drum lol Nice video by the way this helped me find what drum was the original one

Ooh ooh ooh. I know how drum rolling is. It’s common on marching snare drums. Pretty neat.

I would like to have a Taiko force, too. ㅜㅜ
