The tsuri-daiko 釣り太鼓, gaku-daiko 楽太鼓 is a large Japanese hanging drum. It is played with two mallets on one side only. It is used primarily in bugaku orchestra what is also a part in gagaku music (japanese court music)
a little preview for my next series - Japanese Musical Instruments Percussion Series - The models and textures are done. I am still trying to find the right music for the Taikos, or maybe to record it myself. There will be at least 20 and more different Japanese drums / percussions
