Kakko (instrument)
Appearance
The kakko (
History
[edit]The kakko is derived from the Chinese jiegu, a drum popular in China during the Tang dynasty; the Korean galgo is also derived from this drum.
Construction
[edit]One way in which the kakko differs from the regular taiko drum is in the way in which it is made taut. Like the shime-daiko and tsuzumi, the skin of the heads are first stretched over metal hoops before they are placed on the body, tying them to each other and tightening them making them taut.
