Shime-daiko
Template:Short description Template:Italic title
The Script error: No such module "Nihongo". is a small Japanese drum. It has a short but wide body with animal skin drumheads on both its upper and bottom sides. The hide is first stretched on metal hops, then stretched over the body. Similar to the tsuzumi and to African talking drums, both drum heads are bound together with cords so that the drum heads are bound by each other. Like the larger taiko drums, the shime-daiko is played with sticks called "bachi," while it's suspended on a stand. Being very taut, the shime-daiko has a higher pitch than that of normal taiko. Shime-daiko are used in various Japanese music ensembles, from nagauta, hayashi, taiko, to folk music, or min'yō ensembles.[1]
Shime-daiko have been used in Japanese music genre since the dengaku of the Middle Ages.[2]
Etymology
The word "shime-daiko" comes from a larger word "tsukeshime-daiko" (Script error: No such module "Lang".) often shortened to simply, "shime-daiko" or "shime". The prefix "tsukeshime" (Script error: No such module "Lang".) incorporates the verbs tsukeru (Script error: No such module "Lang"., "to fasten; to attach"), and shimeru (Script error: No such module "Lang"., "to fasten; to tie"); the compound connotes a tight, secure fastening.
