BFD kit piece name: Ohdaiko
This monster — some ohdaiko are as large as 108 centimeters in
diameter — is what taiko ensembles are famous for. The ohdaiko
features deep basses with rich overtones.
BFD Kit piece name: Chudaiko
This is a typical hollow shell taiko with a diameter of about 60
centimeters that has a round tone with ample expressiveness. This
ubiquitous drum is widely used in Japanese folk songs, festivals, and
traditional arts.
BFD Kit piece name: Shimedaiko1
Looking much like a snare drum, the 40-centimeter-diameter
shimedaiko produces a bright, sharp resonant sound. The popular
shimedaiko is widely used in Japanese folk songs, festivals, and
traditional arts. Shimedaiko1 is intended for use in combination
with Shimedaiko2 since taiko ensembles usually feature multiple
shimedaiko. Shimedaiko1 is tuned higher than Shimedaiko2.
BFD Kit piece name: Kane
Shaped like an ashtray, this 10-centimeter-diameter hand cymbal
rings with a bright, brassy tone. The kane is used with a shumoku—
a type of drumstick tipped with deer antler. The kane is held in the
left hand while the shumoku is used to strike the inside producing
complex stroke patterns.
BFD Kit piece name: Shimedaiko2
Shimedaiko2 is a shimedaiko tuned lower than Shimedaiko1. It is
intended for use in combination with Shimedaiko1.
BFD kit piece name: Taiko Voice
The performers’ calls are an integral part of a taiko ensemble. Ikki
Hino and the other performers shouted themselves hoarse during
these recordings.
