Katsugi Okedo Technique: Hit and Fit

The basics of any style of taiko are really important, and for Katsugi Okedo, even more important than how to strike is how you WEAR the drum and WHAT you strike with.

This video covers quite a lot and I hope it's a valuable resource for the taiko community for decades to come!

(Sorry about some of the volume issues; not sure why my microphone was coming in hot in the first few seconds of some of these clips!)
