The drums are always a USB plug in, there are USB adapters though.

Taiko no Tatsujin: Nintendo Switch Version! |OT| Joy-Don ft. HDrumble

You have to create a JP Ama' account (western Ama' account can't be used there), and probably have to register a false JP adress (as long as it respects the JP format, it can be a non existant one, it'll be ok)
You have to do it manually - go into the settings, I think it's the second setting down that has "TV" in the name. I adjusted the top option in there to -25, for my TV that made the video latency match the audio, which was already timed to when the motion had to be done. I'm guessing the next option down is the audio latency in case you need to adjust that (that's all I want an English patch for is the options menus).
Unfortunately, you have to try a number, then exit out and load up the full game to try out the new latency, then exit out of the game and go back into options to try another number.
According to the subreddit for this series, no.

you can press... i think it's plus? from the timing offset screen to go right into testing the timing
Asia is getting an english version by default while Japan gets a free patch for it on the same day.
Looks like there's some input lag introduced with the adaptor as it there's a noticeable delay from when the drum gets hit to it actually being registered on screen. What I'm interested in is the reverse scenario, having the Switch tatacon work on the PS4 via the Cronusmax Plus. Hopefully I get the drum in next week so I can test it out myself.
Because it's mentioned on the eShop :

Just got my copy yesterday and played a couple of songs.
The joycon controls are decent, but I don't think they will be suitable for high level play. I am still trying to get the correct feel for how hard I should swing my joycon.
Sometimes I end up getting a double hit when my intention was only a single hit.
Also it seems that there is an 'assist' function when you are using motion controls to play, both notes can be hit with the same downward motion. Tried browing around the setting but I don't think it can be disabled.
Hopefully they will add a patch that allows us to adjust the motion sensetivity and also to off the assist function.
Have you tried modding the tatacon? I heard modding it will greatly improve the performance.

Lol @ the guy casually full combo'ing that song at the end.
I'll never be that good at anything. :D
big difference. nowadays you can snag mybachi off worldwide amazon stores for real cheap and it's absolutely a worthwhile investment if you want to play more seriously
Sounds greatl. Yeah, I'm seeing a lot of them on Amazon JP, might order a pair if I am going to grab the drum from on there.
Oh my GOD, 1:50 on -- HOW THE. I will never, ever be this good. Holy shit.
Glad to hear the drums seem to be working better. Another video earlier in the thread demonstrates that as well. Can't wait to get my order. :)
I just learned something about the motion controls that ruins the game for me. I can no longer enjoy it without buying the drum. Very disappointed now.
The game auto-selects whether it is a center or edge hit, as long as you have the right timing. There aren't two types of hits when using motion controls, but just one. I thought I was giving it a sideways swipe to do the edge hit, that I almost had it right, was doing decently in songs...doesn't matter. And there doesn't seem any option to disable this nerfing of the controls.
what character are you using? some characters have a support feature that automatically does the correct hit for you
Hmm, seem to be an issue if I have them shipped from Amazon JP towards my country (Netherlands), and any other Amazon adds a pretty insane shipping fee apparently. Do you know of any other places to get these?
I've tried orange, green, and gold drums, Kirby, and the squid. Same behavior in all of them.
You say that now however nearly two years ago I'd say the same thing.
I could probably clear that song, not perfect but clear it on a controller. Never played with a drum controller however, I've probably put in over a week of playtime total, absolutely you do just get better after awhile.
if you're cool with yahoo auctions there should be plenty there. other than that, i can't really comment, i got mine from amazon us
ah, gotcha. dunno off-hand who has what assists, but i do know that the first two characters (red and blue drums) have no modifiers. if it's like that with them, then yeah, i guess that's how it is. i haven't tried the motion controls myself so i can't corroborate
so it turns out that one of the new original songs for the game, void setup, has some interesting lyrics
Damn... but I do not want to pay the 6500+yen they are asking for...
I think I need this. Where's best place to import switch game/drum to the US?
edit: and... ordered. Thanks.

I went with amazon.co.jp. Cheaper than play-asia, by a little bit. And dependable (I've used them often before.)
I just ordered the drum and some wooden sticks from Japan, pricey but if it can replicate the feel of arcade at home (without the worn-out drum head), it'll definitely be worth it. Especially since I'm not happy with the motion controls.
There's no need to mod this to have it register your hits correctly unlike all the previous Hori tatacons.
Picked up a pair on Amazon.com. The ones on Amazon UK were cheaper, but had a 3-4 week delivery estimate. I've heard that these aren't good quality wise, but I'm sure they'll be fine for beginners like me.
Wow I didn't know this, I have the PS4 and I thought that I was playing "wrong"
It seems easy to mod, but there is any tutorial that you recommend to follow?
There's this one from the Taiko Drum Session thread which looks good: https://www.resetera.com/posts/443986/
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B072LXDWD8
I bought from other prime seller on the listing who seems to ship outside the US.
It's not Gundam, it's from some show about a transforming train. It's a new character (I didn't translate his ability) and a new song (which is pretty fun)
Which sticks did you get? Perhaps they ship them to my place too.
Can you use a service like tenso.com to buy in Japan and have them ship to you?
These ones:

The trick for me was making sure they were sold by Amazon themselves, any other company would give me the error message on checkout, even ones fulfilled by Amazon, even with limiting the search to ones supporting international shipping.
