Here comes a brief check upon testplaying the top difficulty.
Good luck~

00:43 jack1817: Hello. May I ask for a taiko testplay from you?
00:44 Nardoxyribonucleic: hmm okay
00:45 jack1817: thanks

00:49 *Nardoxyribonucleic is playing [http://osu.ppy.sh/b/1396432 R3 Music Box - Deep in Abyss [Naraku no Soko de Matsu]] <Taiko> +HardRock
00:50 jack1817: any major issues? owo
00:51 Nardoxyribonucleic: 00:52:978 (41,42) - seems not necessary
00:51 Nardoxyribonucleic: or at least remove 42
00:52 jack1817: even though there are sounds there? tho it is very quiet
00:52 Nardoxyribonucleic: As the music is fading out, 1/4 sounds out of place
00:53 jack1817: ok I'll remove 42 then
00:56 Nardoxyribonucleic: 00:00:026 - Hmm what is the reason of using 1.14x SV
00:56 jack1817: umm. To make it be equivilant to 1.6
00:57 jack1817: 1.4*1.14 is about 1.6
00:57 Nardoxyribonucleic: Then I guess no need...
00:57 Nardoxyribonucleic: 1.4 is good enough
00:57 jack1817: really?
00:58 Nardoxyribonucleic: Yes.
00:58 jack1817: ok. I'll fix the multipliers then
01:01 Nardoxyribonucleic: 00:32:526 - 00:48:776 - maybe you can try to add some 1/4 patterns in the kiai. Looks underwhelming currently
01:02 jack1817: but the song only provides 1/2s here. will that be overmapping?
01:03 Nardoxyribonucleic: e.g. add d at 00:39:244 -
01:03 Nardoxyribonucleic: a little bit overmapped but still sounds natural
01:05 jack1817: Then I may only add so at this place.
01:05 jack1817: maybe it will be fine when aquiring BNs (?)
01:07 Nardoxyribonucleic: 00:48:619 - you may also add k to cohere with ^
01:07 Nardoxyribonucleic: so the ddk will not stand alsone
01:07 Nardoxyribonucleic: alone*
01:08 Nardoxyribonucleic: yet you may need to adjust SV to make it flow smoother
01:09 jack1817: I originally thought for making the SV as close to 1.6(now 1.4) in 96bpm as possible
01:10 Nardoxyribonucleic: 00:51:539 - add a red line here and omit first bar line for this timing point
01:11 Nardoxyribonucleic: Then 00:51:580 - uncheck omit
01:11 Nardoxyribonucleic: 00:52:470 - *
01:11 Nardoxyribonucleic: sorry 51:580 is correct
01:12 jack1817: Then should I add a red line at 00:51:539?
01:13 Nardoxyribonucleic: 00:52:390 - add a red line here and omit first bar line, then 00:52:470 - omit
01:13 jack1817: ok
01:13 Nardoxyribonucleic: ignore the previous set of suggestion
01:14 Nardoxyribonucleic: By doing so the bar lines will look aesthetically better
01:14 Nardoxyribonucleic: don't forget to adjust SV too
01:15 jack1817: Yes. I didn't know there is a solution before.
01:16 Nardoxyribonucleic: I guess that's all for now. :3 I don't have enough time to go through the remaining diffs
00:44 Nardoxyribonucleic: hmm okay
00:45 jack1817: thanks
