Standard vs Pro

Standard

from $409.99

No metal plate, so it is quieter and less expensive. PCB sensors, adjustable sensitivity and platform versions are the same as Pro. A good fit for casual players and apartments.

Pro

from $559.99

A 100% arcade iron plate gives the rebound and feel closest to a real cabinet. Suits serious players.

Wooden Stand vs Drum Body
Wooden Stand

Wooden Stand

Compact, sits on a table and is easy to store. It fits apartments and is the most popular choice.

Drum Body

Drum Body

The full-size orange arcade-style drum body, a standalone cabinet shell for a dedicated game room. Adds about $490.00 over the stand.

Platforms and pricing

The platform version determines which consoles work. Standard and Pro offer the same versions. Prices below are live starting prices (Standard + Wooden Stand); Pro adds about $150.00 and the Drum Body adds about $490.00.

Common questions
What is the difference between Standard and Pro?
Only the metal striking plate. Pro has the arcade iron plate; Standard omits it, which makes it quieter and less expensive. Sensors, electronics and platform versions are the same.
Can I add more platforms later?
Yes. You can buy a spare E-Box or converter at any time: PC/NS E-Box, iTAIKO E-Box, PS5 converter (Brook Wingman P5) or PS4/3 converter. There is no need to buy the whole drum again.
Are drumsticks included?
Yes. A free pair of “THE ONE” maibachi comes with every drum.
How does it compare with other brands?

What's an E-Box, and do I need one? Every ZhongTaiko ships with an E-Box. The PC NS version plays on PC, Nintendo Switch, iOS, MIDI, PS3 and arcade I/O (USIO); nothing else is needed. The PC NS PS4-5 version also includes a Brook Wingman P5 adapter for PS4 / PS5. The iTAIKO version plays PC, Switch, PS3 / PS4 and arcade USIO (no iOS / MIDI). The Wingman P5 is not included with the PC NS or iTAIKO versions; it can be added later from the E-Box page. See the E-Box →
