On Oct. 5, we gave a performance of\u00a0“Kodo One Earth Tour: Mystery” in Hitachinaka, Ibaraki. We also came here with\u00a0“Legend” two years ago and we were\u00a0happy to be back.<\/p>\n

Let me tell you about one type of drum we use on stage. Shimedaiko\u00a0<\/span>(the small drums shown above) have drum heads that are bound together by either bolts or one long rope. Kodo always uses roped\u00a0shimedaiko<\/span>\u00a0so we can create an unconstrained, mellow\u00a0yet clear,\u00a0shrill\u00a0sound. But because we tune our shimedaiko<\/span> before\u00a0every performance, the ropes wear out and eventually snap. We need to keep replacing them.<\/p>\n

So, we always have\u00a0extra ropes on hand,\u00a0just in case. The ropes are made of hemp and they are very stiff, so we pull them and beat them every day to make them just the right softness. By doing this, if one of the ropes snaps during our daily tuning, we always have rope on hand that is ready to replace it right there and then.<\/p>\n

As the saying goes,\u00a0“Be prepared &\u00a0have no regrets.”<\/p>\n

Everyday, we all do our best to be in top condition for our performances!<\/p>\n
