Rough study of a Nagado-Daiko

Description

Here's the sketch of a Nagado-Daiko which I managed to draw whilst at the Mugenkyo Taiko Dojo around Strathaven, Scotland.
These are the standard traditional long-bodied drums which often feature at festivals, shrines and temples. When I was practicing on on these with the bachi sticks and with the correct stance and 'hitting' of the drum (you don't whack the skin, you raise your arms, drop arms letting gravity do the work, then with a wrist movement your bachi should be making contact with the skin making that reverberating bang sound)

At the dojo, they explained the phrases, practices, rhythm and they brought up their teaching and experiences. All in all it was a fun trip, and I met several lovely people there too.
