Namco got us rocking to the beat today by releasing the official song list for Taiko: Drum Master, the up and coming title that'll test your rhythm skills like none other. The collection of songs span across three "genres:" licensed rock/pop, original Namco songs and… classical. You heard right, folks – you will indeed be tap-tapping along to Beethoven's Symphony No. 5 or Mozart's Symphony No. 25 in G Minor if you choose to do so.
