- Things to Remember
- When hitting the first da (after the first ga), turn your chest toward the taiko first before "dragging" your bachi to hit.
- While you bring the right arm back across to hit the second da, the left arm hovers in the same position above the taiko. It DOES NOT move dependently with the torso.
