Japanese culture is fascinating in their pursuit of meticulous perfection. 5:31 The scrollwork on the inside of the drum as they said tunes the sound, but it could probably be done alot faster with the same resulting sound. Yet the craftsman carves the beautiful patterns onto a surface that almost no one will see. And for them the pursuit transcends the excellence they achieve and becomes a spiritual path on its own.
I was stationed in Japan in the 90's and went to see these performances on several occasions. There is nothing to compare the actual sound of these drums during the shows. Everything I have head including my own recordings could not reproduce the experience of hearing it live!
Was gonna post the same thing... There is NO way to replicate the experience of a Taiko group. Not just the sound, but the FEEL of the power of those magnificent drums cannot be replicated...
Dig Exactly what I said Amazing. I had no idea they were formed from a single log of wood. The inside is more beautiful than the outside. Amazing. Hand crafted inside and out. These drums must cost an arm and a leg. The workmanship is unbelievable.
You'd be right on the price. They make four sizes of the medium-sized drums they were working on in the majority of this video (nagado-daiko), and they range from $2500 to $6500 on their US website. They also make one model of odaiko, the largest sizes of taiko drums, and it goes for $20,200.
They cost a fortune, but I was able to find one in a small shop that was obviously used, but still sound great. But having this thing MAILED/DELIVERED to you is where the problems are starting.
The gloves are way worse. I've seen the firsthand effects of gloves + machinery. Dude at a factory I worked at got his real glove caught in some sort of spinning device. I think it twisted wires to make cables. Like a chuck on a lathe sort of. Ripped the glove off and his skin along with it. The most literal example of degloving in all of history I'd bet. Not pretty.
Wow! Extraordinary craftsmanship. I was fascinated with the different patterns carved out of the insides of the drums. Wonder what the difference in sound or tone might be? Very interesting and beautiful tradition.
I wonder if you can re-tune a taiko drum. I play percussion and leather headed drums usually have a tendency to become untuned due to humidity and playing. How do they re-tune the drum if that happens, considerind the fact that they nail the hide to the body of the drum?

You guys need to do your research Better ! This Video is not entirely correct, 1st). Taiko Drums DID NOT COME FROM CHINA or Korea, Japanese women actually came up with the idea of Drums so at evening when the fog rolled in, they would go to the mountain tops & High Ridgers by the Ocean and play the Drums so their Husbands would know which way to Row to come home and NOT get lost at sea! 2nd.) when they are done putting the pattern inside the Drum then they install leaf gold all around the inside for a better sound ! China / Korea, YOU MUST KNOW they are Enemies of Japan, YOU WANT TO START A WAR !
I've witnessed the Taiko Drummers live. You don't just HEAR the drums, you actually FEEL the drums beat inside your body! Incredible show.

are you an engineer?
No, I am not. I worked in aircraft maintenance.@@cattnipp
8:38 the face of determination!
Fascinating the knowledge that goes into making these taiko ! Japanese Perfectionists & Innovators 💫💥🔎🎓🎵🎶🇯🇵
The sound of these drums are world renowned ! 👍💪💖
it's great to now know how they are made ! 💖

Hard to beat.
Fabulous craftsmanship.
"I don't want to work
I want to bang on the drum all day
I don't want to play
I just want to bang on the drum all day"
I'm dancing im dancing 😉
Thank you so much for the upload, I'm doing an investigation for a uni subject and this information really helped me out!
thank you
Awesome Asano taiko videos 😍😍😍😍
Awesome. Thank you
Awesome drums!
Incredible !!
That lathe operator wearing the loose coat gave me the willies
It's tradition
😂😂😂for real

I feel like every japanese company is in operation since hundreds of years
2:!9 that tail stock is dancing...
浅野の魂のこもった本物太鼓は私の夢でした。自然と共に一生懸命育てた大切な木を心を込めて我が子のように大事に造り上げた太鼓の醸し出す 響きに優るのは何もないです。今や中国制インスタント太鼓を、バタバタともがき立てるだけが蔓延り悲しい事です🤣😄
Wow! Extraordinary craftsmanship. I was fascinated with the different patterns carved out of the insides of the drums. Wonder what the difference in sound or tone might be? Very interesting and beautiful tradition.
I belive, to really understand, we should be in front of the drum itself.
All I know is, if the inside of a drum is completely smooth and flat, it makes unpleasant high frequencies ring.
Awesome!
4:50
Do you have a vid how they did it in ancient times? Without all the modern machinery helping?
18h for a.t
No I haven't
Endless carving. Like the dude on the inside. Probably just that, but the entire thing. I assume with various sized chisels and tools.
I wonder if you can re-tune a taiko drum. I play percussion and leather headed drums usually have a tendency to become untuned due to humidity and playing. How do they re-tune the drum if that happens, considerind the fact that they nail the hide to the body of the drum?
They can't. Unless they take the whole hide of and nail it on again
I lowkey wonder how fun it would be to bounce on top of that supersized drum lol
Awesome! This is the first time I’ve seen how much hard work it takes to create the drums! Inspiring!!
❤❤❤❤🙏🏼🎊🎊🙏🏼
why the hell play american benjo music over the build montage?
👍🏼👍🏼
7:40 I WANNA DO THAT!!!!
Yall must gonna go training center!
Wtf
don't we all
Oh HEEEELL NAW!
lol not many companies anywhere can say they've been going for 400 years.
Simmiliar a Islamic Mosque Drum (Translate Indonesia : Bedug) in Indonesia & Malaysia, usulally sounded before Azan (Summon to prayer)
The audio quality of this video doesn't do justice to the drums true sounds.
What the hell animal did they use for the biggest Taiko drum??
Ratzilla
In a lot of cases, larger taiko such as the one you saw in the video will have their drumheads made with the hide of a pregnant cow.

...they take the dinglebop and they smooth it out with a bunch of schleem...
fuck yes
TURN UP THE VOLUME.. so low..
I am, positive weather can 3D print those and have better result. The company workers may then go work making taiko furniture or something

Roberto Pechenino I've met a former member of Kodo. He's explained the Korean and Chinese origins pretty well.
Robert Pecherino, The drums did come first from China. You can find the information everywhere
man, u know the drums are actually from Korea and China, Taiko is just a different type
