Pearl's line of Taiko drums are made of compiled Oak that not only provides outstanding strength but makes them much more affordable than traditional
carved models. This version is from the Miya Daiko (there are four total sizes available) family of drums and measures approx. 18"
Stands are not included with the purchase of Pearl Taiko Drums but are available as individual items. Also available are traditional Taiko Sticks and bags for the four sizes of Miya Daiko drums.
Taiko literally means "fat drum" however there are many shapes and sizes of Taiko drums. Miya-daiko drums are large, deep temple drums with tacked heads while Hira-daiko are flat drums with tacked heads. The Shime-daiko are turnbuckle-tensioned drums similar to modern snare drums.
Pearl's Taiko shells offer tremendous strength for the rigors of Taiko drumming. The inside of the shells are shaped with special reinforcements for optimum and balanced sound reflection within the drums and a special "A" grade calfskin. This ultra-thick natural hide is exclusive to Pearl's Taiko drums and provides the deep resonating power of the Taiko sound.
Pearl's Taiko drums are made under strict supervision of Japanese traditional Taiko drum Masters to assure the highest quality and superior sound. An ancient art improved through modern innovation and craftsmnaship.
