バンダイナムコエンターテインメント 【任天堂ライセンス商品】 太鼓の達人専用コントローラー 「太鼓とバチ for Nintendo Switch」【Nintendo Switch対応】

You can play Taiko no Tatsujin: Rhythm Festival without the drums. But it's not the same. You can actually drum and get the feel of what the game should really be. They make the game fun. Which is huge. They are of nice quality and are a treat to play with. You can hit these things as hard as you like, they're not going to break.One downside is that this is accorded only controller that connects via full size usb. If you want to have more than one of them you may end up having to get a USB hub to connect them to that then connect that to your doc. Since there aren't a lot of USB ports available on the official switch docks.This is definitely worth going out of your way to purchase if you want to play this game. Sadly these controllers aren't going to really help you for anything else. So this may not be a buy for you. But I'm happy with what I purchased.

The media could not be loaded. Hori is known for making sturdy, quality products. Although they are pretty inarguably *most* famous for quality fight sticks, this taiko drum is pretty solid from what I can tell. The hitzones are responsive exactly where any taiko player would expect from a peripheral like this.You don't want to tap this thing lightly. It's a drum, you want to smack it, as other reviewers have pointed out. If you give it solid smacks as you should, it will perform fantastically.If you want to see with your own eyes how this thing performs, I've included a single-song highlight from one of my streams.Also, if you plug this into your computer, it too will recognize it as a taiko controller, and I imagine you can use this for playing taiko charts on Osu (I haven't really been part of the Osu scene in years).I'm an avid rhythm game player, so you know I need a high-quality peripheral, because as much as I use this kind of stuff, it's gotta last, and when it comes to dance pads and taiko drums - peripherals whose *express purpose* is to have the crap beaten out of them in order to play the games they're for - you'd best bet I'm not buying flimsy stuff. These things are quality.Sure, there are adapters you can buy if you want to use your favorite taiko drum you already have from some other console on the Switch, but if you don't already own one or don't want to shop around for an adapter, this is likely the most solid choice you've got that's built specifically for the Switch.

I'd recommend going with this drum rather than the cheaper one. This one is very responsive, which is important for getting 100% on those songs. The Bachi sticks feel good to hold and are light, but with just enough weight to where you don't have to slam the sticks on the drum. This is hands down the best Taiko Drum for the Nintendo Switch and it's from HORI, so it's officially licensed. You can expect a level of quality when something is licensed rather than some kind of random third party.

I've been playing with this drum for a few months now and it's great.One thing I would say is that modding is not required. You do have to hit it harder than the arcade drum but... it's a drum and it can take the abuse. If you want it so sensitive that a small tap can activate the buttons, similar to the arcade version, then go ahead and mod. However, it's definitely not required at all. Just play them like a real drum. I personally prefer a playing harder over accidentally setting off a button. Like anything, practice makes perfect. Go out there and become a drum master.Things I recommend:-A pair of real taiko drum sticks. You can grab one off of amazon for really cheap and they give you much more control over the drums. It also let's you play with your wrists instead of your arms. The standard plastic included sticks are way too thick and awkward for me. I have small hands but the normal type of taiko sticks are fine with me.-An anti-slip mat. If you're modded, you probably don't need this. However, if you want to play as normal, then I'd highly recommend it. The controller recommends using plastic bottles in the back of the controller to hold it in place, but this doesn't really work on slippery surfaces such as plastic desks.

Got this for my boyfriend for his birthday and he loves it!He said the drum felt good quality and it had nice bounce to it with the sticks. It also doesn't feel like you're going to break it by hitting it hard, which is nice for a game like Taiko!A few things of note! It does require a few hours of playing for it to become more "sensitive" and actually read your inputs with the sticks. After about a day of playing, he said the game registered his hits pretty consistently.And it is pretty easy to accidentally smack the buttons on the bottom of the drum while you're playing, so watch out for that too!It is VERY LOUD when you're smacking the drum! So, if that is a big deal to you, maybe wear some headphones or play in a secluded place where it doesn't bother other people.Obviously, there are better and more expensive drums you can buy if you're a diehard Taiko player, but for the quality and price, this one is a pretty good start!Pros:+ Good quality drum and sticks+ Satisfying drum hits+ Very easy to connect with the Switch and even PC!+ Good price for what you get.Cons:- LOUD- Button placement could be better- Needs about a day of playing to become "sensitive"- Instructions are all in Japanese, but there are tutorials on the internet, so this isn't really a problem!

Works great with both PC and Nintendo Switch. Have used it with Rhythm Festival and a PC emulator with no issues. It doesn't roll that great, but you can't beat it for the price. Gives a similar experience to the arcade versions in Japan with just a smaller drum and at the comfort of your home.
