Leading video games developer and publisher Namco Hometek Inc. announced today its new rhythm-based drum game, TAIKO: Drum Master, has shipped to North American retail outlets.

With its diverse offering of music and variety of skill levels, TAIKO: Drum Master delivers a unique experience filled with flexibility and fun for players of all ages.
