DrumMania





DrumMania (alternately drummania, abbreviated DM) is a video game created by Konami as part of the Bemani series. The player uses a simulated drum controller to play the notes of a chosen song's drum part as they are displayed on the screen. The game's music consists largely of rock and roll and J-Pop, many of which are covers by famous Japanese artists such as BeForU and notable English artists such as Arch Enemy.



Eariler versions of DrumMania have been released in Hong Kong, the Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, and other Asian countries, under the title Percussion Freaks. Konami has not produced an American version of DrumMania, since MTV Drumscape holds the US patent for "drum simulation games". Nonetheless, imported versions of DrumMania can be found in various locations across the United States and Canada.





Controller

There is also a foot pedal for the bass drum near the snare and the high tom. During play, the player depresses the pads and steps on the pedal.The pads are actually a modified version of the DTXPRESS electronic drum kit made by Yamaha Corporation which is available in almost any musical chain store. the right of these pads, there are three buttons, Left, Start and Right, which are used to select and decide in the selection screens. In those cases, the Left button is assigned to the snare drum pad, Right to the low tom, and Start to the cymbal.
