Thanks for 500K views!! If this if my first video you've seen, I'm a custom song charter for the rhythm game Taiko no Tatsujin seen in the video and I focus on making musically accurate charts above all else. I'm in the process of uploading all 750+ of my charts right now, but there are lots of bangers available on my channel page sorted by musical genre. If you're a fan of Japanese music, you should definitely check out them all; if English music is your taste, try the E-Pop playlist! If you're interested in this content, consider subscribing and joining my discord in the description - all my newest charts get published there and you can catch my fairly regular Twitch and TikTok livestreams! Thanks for watching and have a good 2024

@@ikmalkamal5830 you clearly don't know what it means to play an instrument (in this case, being a drummer) on a professional level.

This… is insane. What’s even crazier is that you hit the nail on the head on the little nuances of an official Taiko level, like these strings of notes of the first half actually feel like something straight out of an actual mid 10* chart. I can’t access tja for a while but this was insanely fun to sightread on first watch. Whiplash also being one of my favorite movies puts this on a special place in my heart, thank you for this

[@Meowgister]

Thanks for the great feedback, glad you enjoyed! I've created a lot of official-style (ish) charts over the last 2 years and this is one of my crowning pieces that definitely takes the best parts from them on top of that mad solo. I've got a useful tutorial on configuring tjap3 to support background videos like this + lyrics on my profile, so feel free to use it whenever you're able to access the simulator.

[@Razorcarl]

Incredible performance neither dragging nor rushing.

[@jellejoustra4024]

Not too big a fan of this game since most of what I’ve seen only maps the melodies (which kinda suck when played on a drum) so I find it really cool to actually see the drums being mapped in a rhythm game. Next do Art Blakey’s original version of caravan

[@Meowgister]

Most of my charts tend to stick to the drums, so make sure to check those out. The original version sounds way too hard to time 😭

[@jellejoustra4024]

I know, I can barely play it on an actual drum kit. Let alone a taiko

[@jellejoustra4024]

I know about melodic drums, I just think it’s stupid to only have drums for a melody when the kalimba is right there

[@Meowgister]

@@KZbin.Commen-tater To be fair, melodic drums are pretty sick (the sounds in the black page are crazy!) but the official charts in this game are very hit or miss - they tend to focus on making sure players of all skill levels can hit the patterns rather than musical accuracy to the drums, melody or otherwise.

[@kulehulfer4385]

Whiplash taught me, teachers like that guy in moderation can be a good thing. Im talking at most one two or three schools in a country with a guy like that. Because then enough people will go through with normal teachers and make it into music, but enough people go through with that guy that it weeds out those who aren't absolutely insane and creates a diamond

[@Meowgister]

well honestly I feel like a diamond without going through that but fair point

[@shroomer3867]

I dunno, it feels kinda like a story about how you should be careful around overly demanding and narcissitic teachers/people like the one in the movie, because by the end you become an extension of them and not yourself (the drummer was only allowed to smile after he done a good job and after the teacher smiled, not before) and how overly pushing yourself with perfectionism might create horror or hate from those who truly love you (the father looking down at his son doing the solo) and how you end up killing your old self in the process (the blood on the cymbal, having no clear point of origin, thus most likely being a metaphor for that)
