whatever japanes people try to do in whatever area , they try to get it as close as possible to perfection , that kind of aim in life is rare in other nations , but of course there are samples of it everywhere in the world
It's so amazing to see what two people and some drums can do to change an entire feeling. Listening to this gets me excited and energetic. I'm sure there is some deeper meaning but I'm hypnotized as they get to their more feverish play.
What may one ask is the significance behind the attire these musicians are donning, one does enjoy and as seen Kodo live a number of times but failed to ask.
How do they stop the drum from ringing out? Wouldn't hitting such a large membrane so fast cause it to vibrate very fast and drone over everything (like a western bass drum, which needs to be muted somehow to get that sharp attack and not ring out for too long). They don't seem to be muting this odaiko... So how do they get such a sharp attack and such a clear and massive tone...? Sounds better than any Bass Drum I've tried.
It's great to find ONDEKOZA on RU-vid. I once watched them in big group at Vatten Festivalen in Stockholm. Really impressive! Do you have more videos? I would love to see them in big group.
@javajunkie101 I received a comment, thank you. OODAIKO playing, even in Japan, there is no opportunity to see quite. Played on this day, it was so amazing. I think in the summer, there is a festival in many parts of this year, we want to see. Thank you. コメントをいただきまして、ありがとうございました。 大太鼓の演奏は、日本国内でも、なかなか見る機会がありません。 この日の演奏は、とてもすばらしかったです。 今年も夏頃に、各地でお祭りがありますので、見に行きたいと思っています。 ありがとうございました。
They're not wearing diapers, they're wearing DEPENDS, and these guys are so fabulous, they can practice anytime they want in my apartment....nyuk nyuk nyuk ......
