Performance Techniques
About the “bachi” (sticks) to use
You can use bachi (sticks) made of either magnolia tree
wood or maple.
Using maple sticks
When using maple sticks, the mesh head (surface) and the
rubber on the rim (edge) wears out more quickly.
Wear and tear on the sticks
The sticks may tend out wear out after playing on the mesh (heads) for some time.
Caution on using chipped/broken sticks
Do not use chipped or broken sticks, as doing so may damage the surface of the heads.
* When playing the TAIKO-1, do not strike any location other than the surface or rim of the pad (including
the rods or the sound module). Failure to observe this causes malfunctions or damage to the instrument.
Head
Strike the head.
The nuances of the tone change
according to the location of the head
that you strike.
Rim
Do not strike the projection
of the rim.
Doing so will damage the
“bachi” (sticks) and will also
cause malfunctions and
faulty operation.
Strike the rim.
You hear a sound other than that
produced by the head.
NOTE
If you strongly strike the mesh area between the surface and
the rim (the gray area in the illustration), the “bachi” (sticks)
will strike the material on the rear of the head, and the sensor
will not work correctly. Since this will also damage the parts,
take care not to perform so strongly that you strike the
material on the rear.
MEMO
5 This instrument does not support playing the head and rim of the same pad
simultaneously (including open rim shots).
5 This instrument does not support playing the rim of pad 1 and of pad 2
simultaneously.
* Depending on how the pads are set up, it is possible to simultaneously strike the rim of pad
1 and of pad 2.
