    I purchased this album after viewing this video. I bought it of of amazon. Paid $40 after import fees and shipping. The album is called "Tsugaru Fusion" by Shinichi Kinoshita. This song "Raikou" is 12 minutes and some change long on the album.
    This is the short version. I highly recommend this album it will blow you away!

    Cheers to the most beautifully powerful country and culture in the world 🇯🇵

    I've drummed for many years and this is the best drummer relationship to melody I've seen. The drums are tuned in exactly to the shamisen. Every note the taiko drummer performs is has meaning. Most drum solos are just noise to me but this is a melodic drummer. Thank You Thank you Thank You for posting!!!!

      As an American, this type of music seems to speak to me. Almost like every song is a story from an aging warrior who is describing his feats and accomplishments on the battlefield before he passes away. It ignites something in my soul, a “flame of humanity”, if you will. I have very much been interested in the teachings of Bushidō and Miyamoto Musashi since I was a child, and not in a weeaboo way either. This music is passionate and inspires one’s sense of dignity and pride to rise to the surface

    I think the taiko drummer is Hiroshi Motofuji-san. His style is so obvious, I saw his performance in Singapore last year with his taiko group (Motofuji's), very interesting and entertaining.
    He's the one who play taiko drum in ost. Ghost in the Shell (collaboration with Kenji Kawai).
    Yes, the shamisen player is Shinichi Kinoshita-san, the legendary. Thx for uploading their "battle". Very nice performance, as nice as the one I see "battle" between Koto and Taiko.

    It is funny how so many people ask everday where I got my shamisen from.. I just tell them the truth.. You can only get one from japan or okinawa. Shmisen or shamsen which originated in China, brought to Okinawa and then from there main land japan. but just like the taiko, shamisen, koto biwa are all south east asia in origin. So all there history and culture and legends are performed with these instruments like any folk music

  • @Bobbias
    @Bobbias 17 ปีที่แล้ว

    Directly from wikipedia: The upper part of the dō is almost always protected by a cover known as a dō kake, and players often wear a little band of cloth on their left hand to facilitate sliding up and down the neck. This band is known as a yubikake. There may also be a cover on the head of the instrument, known as a tenjin.
    So it's actually a Yubikake. Yubi means ring, but I'm not sure on kake, since I don't know the kanji, and I don't know much japanese.

  • @CrazedWolfen
    @CrazedWolfen 14 ปีที่แล้ว

    @higuma75 Actually the instrument in origin was used pre WW2. Originally of Chinese origin. Modern taiko as we know it now though was started at the beginning of the 1950's you were partially right!
    The original style of music used on the taiko drums before the 50's was called Gagaku, a certain type of "court style" music. One of the oldest forms actually that is still played today.

    The large tuning pegs are for leverage. They are friction pegs and turned by grabbing the peg with your whole fist, so they have to be as big as your hand.
    You wouldn't be able to turn a friction peg with just two fingers like you can a geared peg.
