Made by Bandai Namco, similar to Donkey Konga, there was a PS2 version released in the US as "Taiko Drum Master," and there's a DS version that's worth importing if you like Nintendo DS rhythm games that are awesome.
Anyway, the reason I bring it up is because I think it wouldn't be too hard to adapt Osu! to have some kind of Taiko mode. They gameplay is similar, but simpler.

For red beats you hit the center of the drum, and for blue beats you hit the side. I think it'd be possible to map this to left mouse button for red, and right mouse button for blue, or something. Or just keyboard keys.
The only reason I suggest it for Osu! is because I was thinking about making a beatmap with all the beats in the exact same spot as a joke, and that got me thinking about this. That, and the timeline at the top of the Osu! editor reminds me of the Taiko interface. I realize it's kind of outside of Osu!'s premise (that's why I'm posting in off-topic rather than feature requests, because it's more of a separate game idea), but it seems that the fundamentals are pretty similar, and . . . it would be cool.
