Master Class: Shime-Daiko

This workshop will focus on playing smaller taiko with smaller bachi. Improving small drum technique will strengthen your technique for percussion and larger drums. Areas to be covered include stick selection, grip, rebound, dynamics, ji uchi (groove playing), and tempo control.  Ideas for practicing at home will be provided along with exercises to help play together in a group. This workshop is designed for people with some previous taiko experience. Please bring a pair of shimedaiko bachi.
