Meaning "fat drum," Taiko is often used to refer to the modern art of Japanese ensemble drumming and is the first native Japanese music to spread throughout the world. Beginning with a unique effect by the flute section, the sounds instill a sense of awe. This is a super composition for your percussionists who simulate the traditional Taiko drums on floor toms. Easily performed with strings and percussion or winds up to a full orchestra! (2:05)
