Wadaiko ( Japanese Drum )


WADAIKO

Today, I am going to introduce about Japanese drum which is called WADAIKO. Wadaiko is one of Japanese traditional instrument and it came to Japan early as 6th century through Korean and Chinese cultural influence. Nowadays, wadaiko is really popular all over the world. There are some kinds of taiko, and each taiko has different nice tone color. Basically, wadaiko players use three types taiko which are named SHIME-DAIKO, NAGADOU-DAIKO, and OKE-DAIKO. 
      

Actually, I am learning Wadaiko in Hawaii, and the sounds is so good. This video I pasted below is wadaiko group, named "Dragon Beat" that I am belong to. Check it out, if you are interested in.
