Taiko Reverberations: Practice Pads

http://taikoreverberations.blogspot.com/2012/07/practice-pads.html

Sharing my love of Taiko. Saturday, July 28, 2012. I live on a 23 square mile island. A better way to think about it is that it's approximately five miles on a side. (it's not square, but this is for purposes of conversation) The point being that when I or the group I belong to practice taiko. Most of the island can hear it. Unfortunately, not all of my neighbors love taiko. As much as I do. So I needed a quieter way to practice. The solution? This is what I did:. I sanded the corners and edges to round ...

Taiko Reverberations: November 2011

http://taikoreverberations.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html

Sharing my love of Taiko. Monday, November 28, 2011. Despite the fact that the drum head height of the shime. Higher. Since I love to experiment, a new design was in order. This stand places the top head of the shime. Four inches higher than the previous design. The construction was largely the same. I doweled and glued all the joins. The head of the triangle is held together with hinges so the stand will fold flat for storage and transport. And for a change of pace I painted it black. In addition to SF ...

Taiko Reverberations: February 2013

http://taikoreverberations.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html

Sharing my love of Taiko. Monday, February 4, 2013. Very Cool Practice Drums. One of the major problems all taiko. Groups face is the cost of drums. They're beautiful, they're loud, to drum on them is a spiritual experience, but they're very expensive. Groups find various solutions to this problem. Some groups, the like the one I'm member of, make their own drums. Other groups raise the money to buy drums from one of the major taiko. Drum manufacturers like Asano Taiko. I thought t hey were pretty cool.

Taiko Reverberations: March 2012

http://taikoreverberations.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html

Sharing my love of Taiko. Saturday, March 17, 2012. Here's the finished beast! I'm fairly happy-ish with how it came out. I've spent some time playing, though not a lot, and it's addicting. (and a great deal of fun! The sound is very bright with a fair amount of sustain. It came in at right about eleven pounds, I was shooting for under ten, but I think the body straps put me over the top. It can easily be lifted with one hand, and suspending it by a strap over one shoulder is no strain whatsoever. After ...

Taiko Reverberations: The Finished Product

http://taikoreverberations.blogspot.com/2012/05/finished-product.html

Sharing my love of Taiko. Saturday, May 5, 2012. And here it is in all it's weird little glory! I'm mostly happy with how it turned out and I'm very happy with how it sounds. A bit like a shime. But somehow richer. I already took it to class with me last week and a classmate and I spent time practicing with it. Noise was made, fun was had, all around a good evening. I think I like the look of the painted heads a great deal. I'm sure I'll be doing more drums like this in the future.
