Bachi<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Bachi are the drum sticks used to play taiko. They come in a variety of sizes according to the type of drum they\u2019re used for. Bachi also come in a variety of woods and weights depending on the player\u2019s preference.<\/span><\/p>\n

Chu Daiko<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The chu is the most commonly used drum. It creates a low sound. It can be played at an angle called naname <\/em>or in an upright position that\u2019s low to the ground called beta<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n

O Daiko<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Os are the biggest drum and create the loudest and lowest sound. They can be played up high or in the beta position as well.<\/span><\/p>\n

Shime Daiko<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The shime is the timekeeper for taiko songs. It has a high sound and often plays a repetitive rhythm to keep other players in time. Shime is shortened from “tsukeshime-daiko”, which references the tightening of the rope that holds the shime together.<\/span><\/p>\n

Okedo Daiko<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The okedo is another form of shime that has a sound higher than the chu but lower than the shime. It can be played as a timekeeper or by itself. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
