Taiko no Tatsujin is a game that need a lot of learning, from just sight reading, two-hand drumming to rolling. Fully mastering the game can take years of practicing in the arcade. That's why I see it as probably the best all of rhythm games.

[@pattun4244]

I could never understand how some ppl play horizontallyy

[@flutterhymen2644]

That's like, most rhythm games though. IIDX, Sound Voltex, Pop'n Music, DDR, etc... They all take years to master.

[@DarkNight-dm1lv]

@@flutterhymen2644 @Flutterhymen Yes, most rhythm game take years of practice (I have play quite a bit of them and most did take me years to get good at), but most of the basics are learned from the start, like touching the falling note and sight reading, which are also usually more intuitive than taiko. What's left is usually your reaction time and endurance. However I just think that taiko has a bit more depth just from its design, being akin to learning how to play an instrument and reading sheet music, and thus more skills are needed to get to the next level. Though I may be biased as I like playing instruments, and comparing these two different things may not be fair.

[@DarkNight-dm1lv]

@@pattun4244 Falling notes are just way more intuitive, I guess.

Midi files really are the stock photos of classical music

[@Poteito_png]

As a former taiko player, this game taught me more rhythm than proper form. Being good on rhythm is a big deal, but having a good form is necessary so performers don't look awkward. When you hit the drum skin (in red) we call it "don" and the side part (in blue) "ka". It's important to know form, rhythm, the basics of the different drums, how to play them, and maintain them. Smaller drums (which have higher pitch) are called shime daiko, middle sized drums are chu daiko, and large drums are odaiko. I helped fix some of the drums, which is super fun and also dangerous when stretching the skin. One of the things I found interesting about taiko is knowing how strong you can be and actually wear out the bachi (sticks used to beat the drum) which they eventually break. I broke 2 or 3 sets of bachi in my taiko years and we actually used them as a sample with a hole in the drum skin for our fundraiser to help us buy more chudaiko (and it worked lol!). Thanks for covering taiko TwoSet! I've always wanted to see how you would bring about this percussion instrument. XD
