5.0Verified buyers on Judge.me
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?
Standard for the lower price, Pro for the cabinet feel. The only difference is the iron plate, and the platform is chosen separately.
Are drumsticks included?
Yes. Every drum includes a free pair of “THE ONE” maibachi.
Can I add more platforms later?
Yes. A spare E-Box or converter can be bought later: the PC/NS E-Box, the iTAIKO E-Box, the PS5 converter (Brook Wingman P5) or the PS4/3 converter. There is no need to buy the drum again.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes. We ship worldwide from Taiwan, tracked, in about 7–20 business days. Repairs are done in Taiwan.
Why does my drum register hits I didn't make (ghost notes)?
Lower the sensitivity on the knob for that zone. The Sensitivity Tuning guide shows the D/J/K/F layout step by step.
