About the Glossary
This glossary is based on Stan Shikuma’s Taiko Talk: A Glossary of Taiko Terms and Expressions, published in 2006. More information on Taiko Talk can be found by emailing Stan Shikuma via www.seattlekokontaiko.org. It was then editing for publication on taikoforum.com by Joe Small, and further edited for www.kimipark.com by Ben Pachter.
