The only thing I wanted to know before buying this was how long the cord is:
The cord is about 6ft long.
I'm so glad I got this bundle even though I already had the digital copy of the game! I knew I loved the game but the motion controls just weren't satisfying for me. So I began eyeing the drum set.... And here I am drumming away happily!
Having the drum, I can finally play songs on "normal" mode (motion controls prevented me from doing any better than "easy" mode).
An hour into playing and my joints are tired but my mind is happy! (The game politely reminds me to take a 10-20 minute break every hour.)
Since I share a TV with the family, I mostly play undocked in "tabletop" mode with a USB-C adapter and a tablet stand. This works perfectly and the adapter costs less than $5, so all you Switch Lite users can rejoice! Yes, you can play Taiko with a drum controller! (You can also play with the touchscreen and buttons, but you know you want the drum!)
Admittedly, Japanese music isn't my favorite. There were a couple of free DLCs in the eShop and paid ones for $1.50 ish. As you play, you unlock more songs and some are really cool, like heavy metal and club music. The game gets better as you play it.
One thing I was nervous of doing was using the legs for the drum. I want to keep it somewhat portable and it seems as though the legs won't come off once installed, so I'm not using them yet. Unfortunately, the back of the drum has no grip so it slides around when using a laptop stand to prop it up. I tried holding it with my feet in bed once and my foot ended up swelling... So don't do that. I plan to find my old sticky cell phone grip for the car dashboard and use it for my drum instead. Then it can fit in a backpack, still fit in the box (for collector purposes), and be used in a better variety of places.
As someone who just learned about the game by watching High School Musical China last month with a friend, I really jumped head first into this realm of gaming. So glad I did. Brings me back to my DDR and Guitar Hero days. No regrets.

Very fun!
This game is so much fun! I started playing with it as soon as I got the drum put together. Rhythm games are some of my favorites and the drum accessory provided a new way to play for me. My drum worked fine, but I suggest that you calibrate it before playing. It was working fine before calibration, but I decided to calibrate it anyway because it was new and it vastly improved the responsiveness. Also make sure you hit the drum with enough force. Being too gentle can affect the gameplay. I know it’s scary to think of smacking something so new with force, but that’s what the controller is made for. It’s very durable and large. Don’t be afraid to treat the drum like a drum. There are also many dlc you can purchase, and there are some free ones too. There are enough songs to keep playing and never get bored, so buying dlc isn’t necessary and the playability is hours upon hours of fun.Also it has many ways to play. This bundle contains the drum, but if you don’t have the drum, you can play with the joycons, the buttons on the pro controller, the buttons on the joycon, and the touch screen. So it isn’t just a stay at home game! You can play it in the car and it is still super fun using the buttons (and easier). There are different ways to play so each person that plays can have their own choice of how they want to play, and there are multiplayer modes to enjoy with the family.
