'''''GuitarFreaks''''' (formerly capitalized as '''''GUITARFREAKS''''', abbreviated '''GF''') and '''''DrumMania''''' (formerly capitalized as '''''drummania''''', abbreviated '''''DM''''') are rock-oriented music video games produced by KONAMI. 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. The game consists of music predominantly from rock, metal, and J-Pop genres, and is now in its 26th and 25th versions, [[AC GD EXCHAIN|GITADORA EXCHAIN GuitarFreaks and GITADORA EXCHAIN DrumMania]] respectively, which were released in September 2018.

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.
