A trash box for playing Taiko exercises
******************************************
Thanks a lot to Yoshihara-san
Materials
* A trash box (45L)
* A gummed tape (but maybe a close tape makes sound better than it ...)
* A sheet of thin paper (size a little more round the rim of a trash box.
How to make
1. Spread and strain the paper on a trash box. 2.Stick a gummed tape (or a close tape) radically on the paper. 3.Also stick it lengthways on it. 4.Coil it 2 around a trash box. 5.That's all. And try to devise for the outside.
Of course the sounds of a trash box Taiko are different from the real thing. however, I listened to them like good sounds (for exercises...).
From the above contridution
I made it soon. I thought made a thing was good feeling. I had so nice information that I tried to make other one.
My way to make it was using thick plastic and transparency gummed tape (for packing) instead of the paper, a normal gummed tape.
The exercise Taiko I made this way was played better sounds which were near to real. It is enough for exercises, however a difficult point of it whether is everlasting of the tape or not. Most advantageous of the Taiko is low price to repair the skin (a paper and a tape) many times.
After all, I made three kinds Taikos, which each size is 42centimeters, 30cm, 18cm wide. I think larger (or wider) Taiko was played better sounds.
Thanks to Ichihara-san,(Shinhassamu-Furusato Taiko Group)
