A tsuzumi drum. The tsudzumi (鼓) or tsuzumi is a hand drum of Japanese origin. [1] It consists of a wooden body shaped like an hourglass, and it is taut, with two drum heads with cords that can be squeezed or released to increase or decrease the tension of the heads respectively.
Like the tsuzumi, the ōkawa is also struck with a player's bare hands. As the drum heads are taut very tightly, it often hurts to play the drum, and calluses must be developed on the player's fingers to play comfortably. The calluses must be taken care of, being shaved with a knife from time to time before they get too big.
San-no-tsuzumi (三の鼓) – hourglass-shaped double-headed drum; struck only on one side; Sasara (ささら) – clapper made from wooden slats connected by a rope or cord; Sekkin – a lithophone either bowed or struck; Shime-daiko – small drum played with sticks; Shōko – small bronze gong used in gagaku; struck with two horn beaters
Instruments classified by Hornbostel–Sachs as struck or friction idiophones, struck or friction membranophones or struck chordophones. Where an instrument meets this definition but is often or traditionally excluded from the term percussion this is noted. Instruments commonly used as unpitched and/or untuned percussion.
The lead instrument of the ensemble is the kakko, [86] which is a smaller shime-daiko with heads made of deerskin, and is placed horizontally on a stand during performance. [86] A tsuzumi, called the san-no-tsuzumi is another small drum in gagaku that is placed horizontally and struck with a thin stick. [87]
