Traditional Taiko

Taiko groups have wowed audiences the world over with their
visually arresting performances, earth-rumbling bass, pure
percussive volume, dynamics, and rhythm. The unmistakable taiko
sound has also gained acceptance in many applications far removed
from traditional Japanese music. And yet the taiko -- the king of
Japanese traditional instruments -- has been missing from the ranks
of professional sound libraries. SONICA Instruments at last brings
you the sound of the taiko in a carefully crafted FXpansion BFD2.1
library.


Taiko Performance

Japanese Taiko Percussion is the result of a fruitful
collaboration between two creative forces. The taiko were played by
Ikki Hino, leader of Wataiko Ikki, a taiko performance group that
has toured the globe. Ikki's unparalleled stick work lends stunning
definition and character to every taiko beat.


The sounds of Taiko

The sound library was produced by Tomzuin H, a sound creator and
composer who has been responsible for such professional sampling
libraries as the FUEL series. Working from a meticulously laid-out
plan with a focus on taiko ensemble playing, Tomzuin H painstakingly
recorded and produced the Japanese Taiko Percussion expansion pack.

Uncompromising performances, recording, and authoring have led to
a sound library that perfectly captures the real energy and quality
of taiko.
