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.

8:38 the face of determination!

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!

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.

Hard to beat.

The sound of these drums are world renowned ! 👍💪💖 it's great to now know how they are made ! 💖

Fascinating the knowledge that goes into making these taiko ! Japanese Perfectionists & Innovators 💫💥🔎🎓🎵🎶🇯🇵

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.

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"

Thank you so much for the upload, I'm doing an investigation for a uni subject and this information really helped me out!

Awesome Asano taiko videos 😍😍😍😍

I feel like every japanese company is in operation since hundreds of years

Awesome drums!

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🤣😄

That lathe operator wearing the loose coat gave me the willies

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.

👍🏼👍🏼

7:40 I WANNA DO THAT!!!!

I am, positive weather can 3D print those and have better result. The company workers may then go work making taiko furniture or something

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)

I lowkey wonder how fun it would be to bounce on top of that supersized drum lol

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?

Do you have a vid how they did it in ancient times? Without all the modern machinery helping?

fuck yes

...they take the dinglebop and they smooth it out with a bunch of schleem...

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??

TURN UP THE VOLUME.. so low..

why the hell play american benjo music over the build montage?

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 !
