Love the taiko drum. Support is excellent as well … from 70% mis-hits down to 10% mishits with just a config tweak and made it perfect with the hardware tweaking as well on the controller box
He's very transparent about the drums building and everything … It was a genuine pleasure to meet him and was one solid point that convinced me to order from him.
Works exactly as it should, and feels good to play.
Best piezo taiko controller ever
Light, smooth, and came well-wrapped

Which drum should I buy?
Both ZhongTaiko models come with the same platform choices — you pick the platform separately. ZhongTaiko Standard is the best-value pick; ZhongTaiko Pro adds the arcade iron plate for a true 1:1 cabinet feel.
Are drumsticks included?
Yes — a free pair of our “THE ONE” maibachi comes with every drum.
Can I add more platforms later?
Yes. You can buy a spare E-Box or converter any time — PC/NS E-Box, iTAIKO E-Box, PS5 converter (Brook Wingman P5) or PS4/3 converter — no need to rebuy the whole drum.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes. We ship worldwide; international repairs are handled back in Taiwan. Contact us if you need help.
My drum registers hits I didn't make (ghost notes).
Lower the sensitivity on the relevant knob. See the Sensitivity Tuning guide for the D/J/K/F layout and step-by-step.
