Taiko no Tatsujin: Drum Session is a 2017 rhythm game developed by Taiko Team for PlayStation 4, adapted from the long-running Japanese arcade series. Players tap along to a diverse song library by hitting drum inputs in time with notes scrolling across the screen. The game supports both solo play and competitive multiplayer, with a ranked versus mode allowing players to test their skills against others. A standard rhythm mode provides a more casual arcade-style experience. The title carries over the series' familiar cast of characters and progresses players along a journey toward mastering the taiko drum. Compatible with a dedicated drum peripheral, the game translates the physical feel of the original arcade cabinet to a home console setting, making the experience accessible to both longtime fans of the franchise and newcomers to the series.
