Learn the foundational "oroshi" pattern, building from a dramatic, slow beginning to a high-energy conclusion. Used extensively in classical Japanese music, as well as contemporary ensemble taiko, the oroshi is the perfect challenge of the fundamentals, requiring the full range of strike techniques; from full-body, independent hits to high-speed roll. Experience the joy of playing a confident taiko oroshi with others!
