Yeah initially I had problems with it jumping all over the place so I just sat it on a pillow and it didn't go anywhere after that.

Anyway, now that I've put a few hours into it I'm both frustrated and enjoying it.

I love taiko and all but like I mentioned before I'm finding the drum you need to hit quite hard to get it to register, which isn't necessarily a problem - I can hit hard... but keeping it up can be arduous and sometimes I find it has issues with hit detection.

Like, because I'm not exactly looking a the drum when I'm playing, occasionally I'll land a hit in the center of the drum, smack bang in the middle of the sensors for both sides of the drum, and it won't pick it up because it won't trigger either sensor...

But yeah, maybe it's just because I'm fresh to the home console versions, because on top of the occasional misses because of too light taps and center drum hits I'm a bit all over the place lol. I switched onto the standard PS2 controller to see if I had just gone crazy or that maybe because I'm using an LCD TV there was an issue with visual delay, but as soon as I was on the PS2 pad I was nailing perfects just as if I was playing the PSP versions :/

Ohwell, I guess I just need more time. My skills translate over pretty well for the most part, it's not that I'm having trouble with the songs so much but the drum has thrown me for a loop somewhat.
