Taiko Drums are Animated Taiko drums found in Zen Gardens, specifically in the northwestern regions near the "entrance" to the Ninja Meadow (A-2). They usually "beat" themselves with a pair of specialized drumsticks, and are usually found in packs. When they find someone, the Drum rushes towards the enemy and attacks with a "lightning crack" appearance and loud "bom bom bom" noise. (You can occasionally see their three eyes while they attack.) When defeated, they start to inflate (a drumroll can be heard), and then explode in a cloud of dust.
