Installing the Taiko no Tatsujin HORI Drum Sensitivity Mod for Switch! 

WOW! Great video! I just saw this now. Do you mind if I link your video in the description of my Etsy listing just so people can have another reference video if they need help with the install? Your video is so detailed.....

I had to buy some new screws because one came stripped, but once I bought some more and followed this video, I got it all setup. This video was very straightforward and simple to follow. Thank you!

I just used the original foam shaved down a bit, added a firmer layer of foam then a piece of card. Then replaced the original rubber on top with thin foam and foam on side sensors when putting back together and it works great now even with hands. Just don't make it all too thick. Good to know in the case you can't access a wood replacement

Whoa this is awesome!! I've been a huge taiko fan for a while now.

Tried it myself, my first time modding something and I was pretty anxious while doing it but thankfully I managed to do it flawlessly without damaging something, this tutorial really helped thank you.

Thanks for the clear tutorial and at the same time I never wanna do this again!

amazingf tutorial! super easy to follow

So uh… is there a certain way to disconnect the smaller wires or what? Like do you pull on the wires themselves or some part of the white pieces? I can’t quite tell where you were pulling.

Hi all, I have quite an issue. I have bought a brand new Hori drum and tried to improve the sensitivity of the don's and the ka's, following step by stem the guide with the Ikea cork pot holder for the don's and the soft black thin sticker patches for the ka's, ignoring the step with the little holes filling. I have done evrything very carefully, market the cables, taken photos,and re-assembled everything perfectly. Now, the drum is still receognized, all the buttons of the front pad area are all fully fuctionning, but... the don"s and the ka's seem to be completely dead! They aren't working at all, whatever how hard the drum is hit. I have then: first: replaced the cork pot holder and by the original foam and re-tested: same result. Then, removed all the little black soft stickers on the ka's : same result. The crazy part is that if I press the home menu, get back to the game, and press the drum don's area to exit the automatic pause menu: the don is then recognized! And it is recognized anywhere I hit, which means that, at least both left and right don"s areas aren't dead at all. But this is the only way that the don's are recognized. I can't tell for the ka's as they aren't recognized at all. I have checked the cables, connections and everything looks fine, nothing seems to be broken, damaged or touching be geeting in contact with another connection. I haved tried to re-open/test it about 5 times now. My fingers are on fire (due to the part where the top part needs to be removed) and the results are always the same. The drum is now exactly the way it was before being opened but still doesn't want to get the don's and ka's to work. Did anyone experienced something similar ? Any test/fix I could try? Thank you in advance for your help!

I could probably make this myself for a few quids, what's the thickness of the wooden insert you got? I'd assume it's the same as the foam insert?

Thanx Master ❤️

I've modded mine the same way but it didn't increase the sensitivity at all whats the problem

Do you know if this mod is applicable to the Dobe and IINE chinese drums?

woa!!! surprising to see a rhythm game related video on this channel! taiko is amazing, im yet to try it with the drum though! if i could ask, are you into any other rhythm games?

Worth mentioning there's also a sensitivity mod for the Ka sensors too

Oh wow, just what I needed, bought one recently and the sensitivity has been kinda off on one side of the rim, I think I'll try this)

Does anyone knows the name of the sensors? Or how they actually works?

Hi! I tried modding my hori drum, but when i put it back together the left don side stopped working, but when i took out the mod it worked again. Did i do something wrong?

Thanks for the information. This seems like it would only help with drum sensor sensitivity and not the rim. How was that changed or not by this mod?

Thank you daddy taiko

A little note for the ones that use the brandless one: It won't gonna work for you. The shape and form of function is totally different from original tatacon and you need to do serious modding to the controller to get something similar

Is the drum noisier after the mod? I’d imagine it is… probably worth it if the accuracy and feel is improved though!

Everybody use cork board only or wood i used for don - cork board + cartonbox + double side tape only one side untape and the tape i use for ka too and cut and now work very well

The original foam makes a great stress toy!

Does this improve rim hitting too? I just got a hori drum and not too happy withe sensitivity.

Could you make a comparison video showcasing the drum with and without the mod? I would really like to see that.

i'm actually interested to see how i'd go with a TPU 3d printed part.

is this 1mm thick?

I feel so anxious to do it myself with mine!! The replies are so positive abou how better it gets after doing this mod; but I have one question: what type of wood is that replacer made of? And the thickness (mm)?

hmm so i could use the foam to trace it on a piece of plywood and cut it myself.

can you also do it without replacing the foam part?

Once I get that foam im spraying it blurple and making it the discord logo

Make video with mode pay please

If they weren't so expensive I'd totally pick up a taiko force lv5 (kinda unrelated to the vid ik)

I'm so broke. Rips. Need that job for income

Seems like a lot of work, with potential for pitfalls, and a conclusion that's not certain to improve your game. I'd be careful about this. I thought it'd be an easier process, but this video does not make me feel good about that. I do appreciate the view, however.
