The third home version of the long running drum game Taiko no Tatsujin (A series known as Drum Master in the west). It was the last game in the home series to feature Arcade, Battle and Survival Modes. Three new minigames were added as a bonus.

The game is played by hitting the red and blue circle that move from right to left as they overlap with the target market. The red circle signals that you should hit the centre of the drum while the blue means you should hit the rim.

The game features 39 songs, 5 of which are secret and needs to be unlocked by playing.
