Taiko Class Drum

While visiting Paralounge, my friend Clint Bach, became entranced by the taiko drums he met there. Upon returning home he built a drum that is very much like a taiko. We call it "taiko class". It is 26" X 31". It tapers and only has one head. He built the shell then the two of us put the rings, ropes and head on. It took us about 6 hours just to do that. This drum sounds great! I can't get anything done today because all I want to do is play it. My neighbor who lives 1/2 a mile away (houses, hills and trees in between) could hear it at his house.
