The odaiko was delivered to Utah, set up on their mobile cart backstage and we could not wait to play.
I was happy to meet their odaiko player Masahiro Okuno and play for a few minutes.

The taiko drum that almost everyone pictures when thinking of Japanese taiko. The nagado drumheads are attached directly to the body using large heavy duty tacks. The nagado daiko drums are divided into three general categories based on their size. Kodaiko – Less than 12 inches in diameter Chudaiko – The medium most common size, and generally the size used most often in performances. Odaiko – The largest of the three often played on a horizontal stand by two players simultaneously. Click here to read about how our taiko drums are made.
