Drum Mania

Drum Mania

DrumMania (ドラムマニア, Doramumania?) is a drumming music video game series produced by Bemani, the musical division of Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc..

Drummania was first released in 2000 as an arcade game, then subsequently ported to PlayStation 2. Subsequent mixes have been released approximately once a year. In 2010, a series XG was introduced, adding a floor tom, left cymbal and left pedal to the cabinet setup. To focus on the new game, development ceased for the original version, with the last mix V8 released in 2011. The most recent arcade version is DrumMania XG2, which was released on March 9, 2011.

The game can be linked to its guitar-version sibling Guitarfreaks, allowing for cooperative play as long as they are from the same release. Earlier versions of the game could also be linked with Keyboardmania. From 7th mix onwards, the game has been linked to Konami's e-Amusement system, allowing for online competitive play.
