PEARL HIRA DAIKO - WHT14

Taiko Drumming has spread around the world in recent years as more and more people are drawn to the power and excitement of this ancient art. "Taiko" literally means "fat Drum" however there are many shapes and sizes of Taiko drums. Hira-daiko are flat drums with tacked heads. Traditionally these drums are carved from a single tree, thus large and very old trees are needed to make the larger drums. This, of course, makes them very expensive and difficult for many Taiko groups to afford.
