BANG DRUM Nintendo Switch game! 🥁 | Playing Taiko no Tatsujin

CHECK PINNED FOR WHY I RE-UPLOADED!
Let's play the epic bang drum Japanese game! Taiko no Tatsujin Drum 'n' Fun! I'm playing on a Nintendo Switch because I actually don't have a PS4... Also, I'm not playing on tjaplayer3 (or any other simulator) because I want to keep this to the actual game itself! I'll be explaining how to play the game and kind of like an introductory/let's play and tutorial. PLAY IT PLEASE.

I had to take down and re-upload this video because the entire time, my TV is flickering (my camera shutter speed was set to 125 and turns out my TV is awful so it flickered the entire time. The flickering didn't happen on any other monitor I recorded. Go go my TV!)
I've re-uploaded the video at 30fps instead of the original 60fps. The flickering should be gone now, although you'll see this 'wave' going up and down the screen. But at least now the video is bearable to watch and not epilepsy inducing!
I'm sorry about it, I wish I could show you my full play on the other monitor at 60fps (it looks so much smoother on 60fps) but the rest of the video will be very bad eye strain.
Thank you for watching!

It’s funny how there are drummers that looked down on you because you played a ‘fake’ drum for a game even though I myself got this game because I love drumming and was super excited to know that this rhythm game that incorporates drumming had a Switch version

[@DSprich]

I'm a drummer and, to be honest, my thinking before playing was totally along the lines of the "Bah! My superior knowledge of the German match grip and triple-stroke roll will make this totally easy." However, you're right: it's not really a "fake drum" but a totally different beast altogether. And, yes, it's fun as all hell!

[@Starlok007]

It's like the difference between playing Guitar Hero and a real guitar. Similar but require different skills

[@gapplssb]

Imagine not talking about the thumbnail

[@nobody2021]

This game is more like Rocksmith. It may not be a real drum, but the techniques that you learn are directly applicable to if you were playing a real drum. Guitar hero is 100% a fake guitar because nothing that you're doing is going to help you play a real guitar. That was the point of Rocksmith.

As a percussionist, I can say that the people criticizing your drumming style are just elitists. Doing "proper" technique on drums takes a long time to learn, and I wouldn't expect a rhythm gamer to learn that JUST for a GAME. Like you said, it's a rhythm game! Does it really matter as long as you're having fun?

[@ryurai7772]

i imagine pianists saying that the fingering of osu mania players are wrong

[@rickyluvr69]

in terms of technique she’s also not doing bad either way though too. it’s obviously not perfect but just from the little she plays you can see she has great groundwork on the basics. most of her movement is from the wrist, and her fulcrum is in the right place. it’s weird that people point out the things she got wrong instead of seeing how cool it is that she got so much right just for a silly little drum game.

I remembered playing taiko for the first time at the age of 9 in Tokyo on my birthday and it was the best memory of being in a Japanese arcade ever. Really wished Singapore did have it tho because it’s a really fun experience.

I actually picked it up at launch, I really love this game even though I'm not so good. The noise of the tatacon however is a deal breaker to me, I live in an apartment with thin walls and everyone can hear me play 😭
I can only play it during the middle of day in short session. It's my first rhythm game outside of Osu! and Guitar/DJ Hero and probably my favourite too! It has such unique charm that is unlike any other rhythm games I played even if it's not arcade.

[@KeebyFan]

I can confirm taiko can even be fun for kids, me, my gf and my little cousin played the wii games a lot and my cousin loves it even if he isn't really good (but he's getting better!)

[@ColinTedford]

I've been playing it on iPad and love it so much! About the big notes, tho, at least on lower difficulties I think playing them 2-handed as intended enhances the experience - they are sometimes put in for more emphasis and it feels good to be like "BOOM BOOM BOOM" in those parts.

I'm surpried that you didn't mention that the accuracy when you hit the note at the marker gets stricter as you increase the difficulty, with Oni/Extreme being the strictest.
EDIT: Apparently the PS4 version has some lag issues if you use the drum controller, I don't know if that lag issue is now fixed tho.

[@jeffreys8494]

They actually added a completion level if you fully perfect a song, like all perfects! It’s called “don da full combo” (ドンダフルコンボ in Japanese). I think it only appears in the newer versions of the arcade machines in Japan. I’m so happy this game is getting more attention AAA

[@alxjones]

It's also on the most recent PC/Xbox release (The Drum Master!), and they localized it as "Donderful Combo".

[@tabandoned3357]

I was blessed as a child when I found one of your videos that introduced me to Taiko (the website version) thank youuu!

[@Rhyto]

Years ago, I used to heavily play "T-aiko" on Android during my Sophomore Year when it launched years ago.
Ended up #4 on the global rankings though shortly after peaking the hackers soon flooded the game
and ruined my experience. A number of Perfect Scores were also deleted also adding to the displeasure.
Despite it shutting down and relaunched later, I haven't gone back to playing via Phone though it's nice to see
that there are opportunities to play it again. Awesome video, thanks for the tips and genuine remarks about it.

[@-Sangral-]

I hope nobody decided between Switch and PS4 because of this video cause in retrospective, the Switch version is a WAY better choice. Not only is the drum better out of the box if you don't want to mod it, (and in Europe you can actually buy the drum bundle without importing it) but the Switch version has a much bigger DLC song support and if you own everything, the Switch version ends up with almost twice as many songs as on PS4.
