TDC10 Smart Pro Taiko Drum Controller Tatacon for NS Switch, Xbox X/S, PS4,PC, Less Noise, High Sensitivity, Precise Note Registration, Arcade Level Design，Controllers for game consoles

First impressions: Actually insane for the price point, custom sensitivity, bluetooth controller interface is super helpful for the switch, the drumsticks are actually super nicely sized (i play with arcade size sticks normally) these sticks are slightly smaller. The actual quiet of the drum compared to the hori drum is night and day. My 3month old son fell asleep while i was playing taiko, that should be enough said alone. Truthfully dont waste your money on a $40 hori drum. This drum is all the bells and whistles without the extreme price point of a arcade drum. Also it all fits in the carrying case! The case makes it so easy to store everything under my bed.

I actually posted a full video review of this drum on my YouTube channel @jaytaiko TL;DW: this drum is a really solid option, especially for the price. It has a lot of premium features, like adjustable sensitivity, that work exactly as intended. All the settings are controlled on a mobile app, which the developer has been updating frequently. My favorite part is the elastic, bouncy feel of the drum face. I do wish that it were larger (for reference, arcade drums are ~45 cm diameter, while this one is ~25 cm), but it is still a reasonable size for this price point. Overall, I strongly recommend it. ** If you're a new player looking for a drum, stay away from the HORI! Spend a little extra money on this one. It is well worth it.

Excellent budget drum! I played on the Switch Hori drum for a year or so, but decided to upgrade. The material on this one is great, and it's WAY more sensitive than the Hori drum. In fact, I almost find it to be a little too sensitive at times, and that's the only reason I'm deducting a star (I whack this thing pretty hard when songs get intense). However, it's very configurable with their app, so this can be overcome. I'll also note that the surface is great, and the included bachi are nice. You can really roll quite well on this thing. Good drum!

Excellent quality Taiko drum, worth every cent.

Definitely better than the Hori ones, but the software seems to be inconsistent. I feel you can plug them three times in the same computer and get three different experiences in matters of sensitivity and timing. I have been playing rhythm games for two decades and can easily tell this works... Weird. So I basically spend 10-15 min readjusting before playing, almost every time.

I started playing Taiko no Tatsujin with the HORI drum because all the other drum controller options at the time felt unrealistic for me to get at $200+. When I saw Jaymin’s review of the TDC10, I decided to give it a try as well. I’ve used the TDC10 with Drum ‘n Fun and Rhythm Festival, and I’m really enjoying it so far. The TDC10 is fairly portable and just a little bigger than the HORI. I think a larger drum might be more comfortable to use but this is great for smaller spaces. This drum is more sensitive and the skin is bouncier, so rolling on the TDC10 is much easier to do than on the HORI. The Rythmagica app is also easy to use and lets you navigate the game menus without pulling out another controller. You can adjust the overall sensitivity of the drum as well as the individual Dons and Kas here too. The TDC10 drum stand is the only part that I didn’t like as much. It isn’t attached to the drum itself like the HORI drum. Instead the two legs are aligned together and a long screw holds the stand together. I understand why it was designed this way for easy disassembly and fitting in the case that this drum comes with. I’m only planning on using it at home, so I ended up buying a low monitor vesa stand to attach the TDC10 to. Now the drum feels very sturdy, and I can easily change the height and angle depending on how I’m sitting. Customer service is also top notch! I emailed them because I had accidentally misaligned the wraps on my bachi. They were incredibly quick to reply and kindly offered to send me a complimentary set of sticks. Overall, I’ve had a great experience with Rythmagica and look forward to their new Taiko accessories, like the larger TDC17 drum!

This is my first Taiko drum controller and it has been an absolute joy to use. Going from the keyboard to this makes the game much more fun and rewarding. Worked out of the box just fine, and some minor tweaks to sensitivity using the app have made it perfect for me. (It also worked flawlessly on my Linux desktop and also my Steam Deck without any extra setup!) If you are looking for a starter drum for Taiko, let this be the one!

You would not know this was a kickstarter based on the quality. The drum looks and feels great. It’s reasonably quiet. If sound is really an issue for you, the app gives excellent control over the sensitivity. You can make it where the tiniest taps register if you really want to. The sticks are high quality, but they are a consumable. One of my sticks did break within the first week, but customer service was excellent and got me new sticks super fast. I went ahead and got some more because I love the feel of them. I’m glad I skipped the cheap controller and went straight to this.
