Taiko is a form of Japanese percussion music that dates back centuries. It is characterized by its powerful, driving rhythms and is often used to accompany traditional Japanese festivals and ceremonies. Taiko is typically performed with a variety of drums, including the odaiko (a large barrel-shaped drum), the shime-daiko (a small, hourglass-shaped drum), and the katsugi-daiko (a drum suspended from the shoulder). Taiko is often accompanied by chanting and singing, and is known for its energetic and powerful sound.
