Great job! This is very useful

Thank you for writing these thread as lesson / guide. It really help me full ^^ Beside at basic map practice, it has the beautiful song and I really enjoyed that ^^
But may I ask? Is there the skin that would make the beginner of Taiko player could understand it more better and faster (the skin that like at Catch the Beat mode style, it has one colored fruit and shape, so beginner could see it better)
Thank you

Vinc_Angel

i have a ps3 rockband drum kit. can i play osu taiko with it? and how?

kazama jin, I think you could played with that if you have a port to connected into your pc or laptop and configure your key config in osu options too.... I guess....

Hi and sorry that I'm so late. I'm glad you like this!
About the skin, all I can do is to suggest you using the taiko skin by frank. But that link at the moment not available, so I guess I will re it soon again.

thank you

Holy crap, I've been trying so hard to learn taiko. You're awesome, man!

Just some patterns that, I think, should be added for advance level
DKK
KDD
DDDKD
KKKDK

This is so ridiculously useful, you have no idea.

Praise Ono.

It's very helpfull for training
But there aren't any traning with Big Dong and Big Kat. It's not so esay for some peoples. I think just one traning in Basic and in Advance will be good

Oh, you are right. I will add such maps now since there are some good maps which train your finish-note gameplay!

Edit: I've added three beatmaps which contain a lot of finishers but also other tricky patterns such as 1/6 or streams:

1. Ellie Goulding - Burn [Oni ★8] (finisher gameplay available)
   https://osu-ppy-sh.jeuxcrack.net/b/351271 (Nashmun)
2. Black Raison d'etre - INSIDE IDENTITY [Ura Oni ★10] (finisher gameplay available)
   https://osu-ppy-sh.jeuxcrack.net/b/280103 (aabc271)
3. LindaAI-CUE - Norudon2000 [Ura Oni ★10] (finisher gameplay available)
   https://osu-ppy-sh.jeuxcrack.net/s/335229 (OnosakiHito)

Additional to this, I've added the link to the Custom Taiko Characters Collection, so newbies can check out some of our taiko skins!

my problem is
i've hit the Big Don/Kat with 2 buttons, but i still got 1 point, than i check my replay, i just got 1x point not 2x, sometimes i can hit big don/kat perfectly

my timing when hit big don/kat is bad, how to improve my timing ?




sorry for bad english

Mind to post a replay?
Also do mind that you get x2 (ig 600 at the start of a combo) scoring but your combo meter only goes up by one.

Saw them, everything is fine:

doing a big Don/kan with two buttons advances your combo counter by only 1 but you get double the score of a normal don/kan.

This literally made my day.

Doing even one of the advanced levels using alternation can be so hard and frustrating. Any tips?

Don't give up.

Pretty much what Noobita says, as plain as it sounds! Learning to coordinate your fingers is not easy, so it needs some good amount of time until one is able to alternate. But the time you invest in learning it is absolutely worth. So all I can suggest is to play those advanced levels and maybe search for some maps which contain these kind of patterns.

Thinking about it, I should add way more maps into this project, especially ranked maps.

https://osu-ppy-sh.jeuxcrack.net/b/72785&m=1
My favorite map for excessive triplet reading practice!
Has every tripletpattern except for dkd (almost no kdk too) and plenty of those right after each other in snailspeed which makes it relatively easy to get used to.
Playing this + the Abekobe version (maybe you could link the map converter by qoot for practice purposes too?) gives a really good grasp at reading triple patterns and is still not very fast when played with DT.

Thank you so much OnosakiHito! I wanna be pro taiko guy! :3 o3o I wish you be my taiko teacher in real life :3 >u<

It's so hard and im getting so tilted thanks for this

Thank you <3

Wow, I'm glad I found this. It's awesome to have these foundations and to build on them~

That's a great tutorial for a Taiko beginner like myself. I'll definitely be using that.

...
On a side note, how the hell am I supposed to combine both of my hands while playing? I'm getting better accuracy on Cory in The House (The only song I'm able to play, lmao) using just one of my hands (if you know what I mean), but when I try both: it turns into a disaster.

Some general advice for everyone starting off:

It happens. If you really want to strengthen your other hand, try playing completely with your other hand; it'll take a while to get used to or even play anything and your accuracy will drop, but don't be afraid of retrying. When you're more comfortable and can control your other hand properly, try playing with both hands.

What I suspect is the real problem in your case and a major obstacle in everyone's Taiko career, however, is getting used to patterns and playing with both hands.
If it's patterns you're having problems with (e.g. triplets) then it's a good thing to consider what hand you'll be using if you alternate. For instance, for ddk, you'll hit d with your right hand, then d with your left, then k with your right (vice versa if you start with your left hand). Practice. Repeat until you're comfortable with playing the pattern. Play it faster. Play it until it's second nature. This is how you can acquire a pattern so that when you recognise one, you can play it easily.

I myself use one hand a lot and use the other only for streams when it's necessary... (very frowned upon play-style involving extensive single-tapping at 200+ BPM)
That being said it's still important to get used to playing with both hands because while you might be able to sustain with one hand into muzukashiis, Taiko is simply not playable at 'pro' level with only one hand.

Good luck with Taiko!

Awesome guide
Very comprehensive as it leads from beginner to advanced, really

'For Taiko Beginner'
this seems like the holy grail for Taiko beginner

I second tkdLolly's previous post.

On another note, maybe I overtook it with Vajra. It was planed to add more maps to get to such level, but I never came to it. Haha
Should probably really add more easier maps which are also ranked to give beginners even more examples.

~~~ IMPORTANT ~~~
Taiko Beginner Pack #1 out. Contains 15 songs.

Added them! Thank you.

This is a great guide. Occasionally I tried to play Taiko but didn't understand several things like the big don etc.
Now I can play properly and instantly have nice songs at my level because of the beginners pack, thank you.

thx u, this post is really helps me!

thank you for the maps and techniques ❤ great work!!

puush links are dead for Extreme training and Extra training. Anyone able to re-host?

Weird, these push links were never removed. I've just re-ed them. Thank you for noting it!



New maps should be ed some time too. Hm.

Advanced training link is dead.

Edit: I mean, this one http://puu.sh/649ck

Wait, so is it better to map one side to dons and the other to kats (ddkk), or should I just stick with kddk?

Edit: Also, I'm having a lot of trouble with dddkkkdddkkk. My hands keep doing dddkkddkkdd instead...

Yea, I'm still searching for it and I can;t find it anywhere either. Looks like I have to practice the pattern without the map for sure.

When he gonna update the 3 step? Still waiting. If someone have ddk, kkd Pattern Training plz pm me! Thx

Many people PM'd me. I will it soon! Had no access to my osu! folder for quite some time, da don.

Thank you so much! You must be really busy person. Have a good day! ♥

;v; i'm really having issues learning 4-note patterns like the one in the 8step advance pattern training and some of the extra ones, anybody got tips??? I need help lol

You can find it on the OP.

Thank you very much!

Thank you for this. I just changed from ddkk to dkdk and this is helping me a lot

i play dkkd this practice mapsets are the best

Very glad to know that. Hopefully I can update the beatmap list soon as well.

Amazing maps, love it, thanks!

Has the star rating changed in these years or does the star mean something else?

Those star raitings reflect the raiting in Taiko no Tatsujin and have nothing to do with the SR in osu!taiko.
Let's say, on first look, those raitings make only sense if you have more maps to compare their difficulty with each other.

Thanks for the tutorial.
I can't the last song
DJ TOTTO VS TOTTO - Vajra [Inner Oni ★10]
That stream is just too difficult for me.....

thx for the guide! i'm still stuck at dddkkkdddkkkddd tho but still training~

will try to Taiko again after reading this...
thanks 😄

Thank you for making this guide, This is very helpful
I hope I can improve my skill

Anyone have any tips or a full guide on how to stream. I'm trying to start playing Inner Oni's and I can do basic streams such as ddkkddkk... or ddddkkkkddddkk... but anything that gets complicated i get stuck on and start spamming (ddkdkdddkddkdkkkkdkkddkdk)

Thanks for the guide <3

thanks! this is good

this is really good I appreciate it! I decided to go back to basics and relearn how to play not just from playing but actively train a bit but it would be good to find a stream practice forum.

Thanks again btw!!!

I'm glad to know that still many people use this Project! While I'm very slow, I'm still planing to add new maps by also checking out what people said in their posts.

*stream practice needed - noted

This forum is useful to be honest, I had a big leap in one year span. I'm getting used to taiko because of this.

This guide is amazing!!! Very helpful, thank you very much!!!!

I believe it is also pretty outdated. We have a better one, the new and improved one. So why stepping back using old methods of learning while there's more effective one?

This one? Can't believe I didn't find it until now.
beatmaps/packs/1182

Any time I want to force somebody to start taiko and they give in I tell them to use this.
Helped me a lot as well after I switched to kddk and needed to get startet from ground up again.
It's so good to have this.

Glad it helped you!

The pattern practice seems like it'll be very useful!

I was wondering, would you be able to suggest featured artist beatmaps to aim to full combo before moving to the next step of lessons?

This one doesn't work

Hey man, the first tutorial link of the advance seccion is broken

I will update it soon and see why these links break so often.

the links dont work at all

Will update everything this week by ing all training maps and beatmaps on the Beatmap Submission System. Once done, there won't be any problems anymore!

Hi! puu.sh deletes files after one month, so the links in the first post will expire regularly. Could they be ed somewhere more permanent?

links broken

would be happy for link updates

None of the beginner links are working...

I know I'm the 4th person to mention this, but none of the links are working...

Please use some host that doesn't regularly delete s next time thx
