| The only Shime Daiko to feature synthetic drumheads, the Remo Shime Daiko has a lathe-turned ADVANCED ACOUSTICON™ shell, shaped in the traditional manner and finished in a high gloss Burgundywood finish. The TYPE 10 NUSKYN™ drumheads are inspired by traditional Taiko head design, and the drums are available in either rope-tuned or turnbuckle-tensioning systems.
History
Traditionally the Shime Daiko is a rope tensioned drum carved out of a single piece of wood. Stitched heads of cow hide are either laced together or connected by a bolt system (a modern innovation) to facilitate tuning the drum. The Shime Daiko has been used as an accompaniment to Kagura, Noh, Kabuki and is also used in traditional folk music. They have become an integral part of contemporary Taiko ensemble performance as well, providing high pitched, fast paced rhythms.
