This is a guide that will allow you to effectively apply a sensitivity mod to your Taiko no Tatsujin drum.

Most guides out there require rubber sheets and cork or wood while this guide will only require common household items.

### This is a guide that will allow you to effectively apply a sensitivity mod to your Taiko no Tatsujin drum.
|
||||
|
||||
Most guides out there require rubber sheets and cork or wood while this guide will **only require common household items**.
|
||||
|
||||
### Inspiration
|
||||
I just got my tatacon delivered but sensitivity sucked big time. You have to hit the dons and kas with force just to make sure your hits get registered.
|
||||
This apparently is known among Hori tatacon owners, despite it being the authentic controller- it still wasn't good enough for normal players.
|
||||
|
||||
So off I go looking for modding instructions.
|
||||
|
||||
All the instructions I saw required the modder to obtain items such as rubber sheets and cork or wood boards.
|
||||
|
||||
These were things that I'd had to procure- so I started thinking
|
||||
**why do I need these specific items? is it to add hardness to the material? is it to raise a bump and make it easier to trigger?**
|
||||
|
||||
Whatever it is, me and my baseless-confidence™ believed that I could imitate their results using different materials.
|
||||
|
||||
Luckily, I'm part of a team that does hardware R&D so we have this workbench in the office with materials and tools already setup so off I went to scan the bench for materials I could use.
|
||||
|
||||
I saw an electrical tape and thought that it could substitute the rubber sheet material if I just keep adding layers of it to something like paper.
|
||||
Also, cork? wood?.... isn't paper made of wood? Yeah. That should work.
|
||||
|
||||
And that was it.
|
||||
I decided to open up my drum and see how I'd go about doing things.
|
||||
|
||||
### Note
|
||||
The drum used in this mod guide is the original Hori Taiko no Tatsujin switch drum but as long as the mechanism is the same- other drums should be moddable the same way.
|
||||
|
||||
Also, the drum was in pristine condition prior to me modding it. It started getting scratches because I dragged it around while opening-closing, testing, and fine-tuning my modifications.
|
||||
|
||||
Please take care of your takacon, I wish I'd at least wrapped the surface of mine prior to modding but oh well.
|
||||
|
||||
### Instructions
|
||||
Requirements:
|
||||
- 2 sheets of paper
|
||||
- electrical tape
|
||||
- Phillips screwdriver to remove 5 of the drum's outer screws
|
||||
- pliers (completely optional if you're fine with hurting your hands)
|
||||
- scissors (not pictures)
|
||||
|
||||
Here are the main requirements

|
||||
|
||||
I also used the following but these are all totally unnecessary
|
||||
- Masking tape, because I ran out of electrical tape and was too lazy to get a new one from the cabinet
|
||||
- precision tweezer, you most likely won't need this
|
||||
- mini grinder with a bit that can be used to poke holes into the paper, you can use scissors- I just happen to have one already set-up in the vicinity

|
||||
|
||||
#### Step 1 - Open up the drum
|
||||
There are 5 screws at the back of the drum, use a Phillips scredriver to remove them.
