Drummer Duel

is the 18th minigame in Rhythm Heaven. The player controls the blue drummer who is competing against the 'red drummer' in a taiko duel. Getting a perfect on this game earns the gift "Cheering Tips" in the Café.
==Gameplay==
The blue drummer must copy every beat the red drummer makes during his turn and must perform it correctly in the same rhythm as him. The red drummer's speed in rhythm gets gradually faster near the end of the game.

==Trivia==
*The chanting heard in the background "Don! Doko! Don!" is Japanese onomatopoeia used to represent impact sounds (like drum beats).
**In the Korean version, they were changed to "Doong! Doong!" (둥! 둥!).
*In the Japanese version, the "You" sign is colored black with a white outline, while it is colored white with a black outline (like in almost every other game) in the international versions.
*Although the drummer on the left isn't playable, he still has sprites for making a miss. The cheerleaders on the left side also have sprites for tumbling over.
**Additionally, there's sprites for what appears to be an announcer, who points to the currently playing drummer, reacting to the player's performance the same way as the cheerleaders. However, this character doesn't appear in the game.
