Together, the series is formerly abbreviated as "ギタドラ" (GITADORA). In GuitarFreaks, the player uses a controller to simulate the playing of an electric guitar, while in DrumMania, the player must hit the drum parts when the notes reach the bottom of the screen in order to fill in missing drum parts from a song.

In 2010, KONAMI released '''GuitarFreaksXG''' and '''DrumManiaXG''', which introduced several changes to the cabinet and controllers for both games. Since the release of the XG series, the original cabinets had [[AC GFDM V7|two new]] [[AC GFDM V8|versions]] before being discontinued. The XG series had three games before being renamed as simply '''GITADORA GuitarFreaks''' and '''GITADORA DrumMania''', with another new, smaller cabinet (although the controller, and therefore gameplay, was not changed). The GITADORA series is currently being supported with online updates. | In 2010, KONAMI released '''GuitarFreaksXG''' and '''DrumManiaXG''', which introduced several changes to the cabinet and controllers for both games.
