no drums required

Taiko no Koushin is inspired by the delightful Algorithm March, made by the brilliant folks at NHK.  The march incorporates eight, taiko-related poses or movements.  The movements are designed to interlock when players do the march back to back, with each marcher starting the movements one step later than the person ahead of them.

4 or more players
p+4 drums

Drums are aligned in a row.  The goal is to survive the treacherous seas and scallywag mateys without dropping a batchi.

2-4 players
one drum

All players hit the drum two times then put zero, one, or two hands in the air.  One player shouts out a guess at the total number of hands and when correct, gets to do a short solo.  The process repeats with a new guesser.
