The DIY Rhythm-Game Balloon Drum-a-Long
Beatmap Music
Dates: May 2 & 3, 2026
Playing rhythm video games can build real musical skill! Let’s put it to the test.
Join Beatmap Music at this year’s Maker Faire and let’s play some rhythm games together! We will trade in the usual plastic controllers with easy to make balloon drums and play along with tracks from the hit game Taiko no Tatsujin as well as custom beatmaps, made in the open source game Osu!
Beatmap Music’s new drum-a-long programs are designed and delivered by composer/musician Evan Rothery, who spent 14 years sharing a variety of musical instruments with guests at the National Music Centre, including the design of their musical makerspace: Soundbox and the creation of their popular Learning at Home Youtube series.
Come jump in the groove on either Saturday, May 2 or Sunday, May 3, 2026 at the Arcadia Rec Centre.
