Come and join us as we explore the exciting style of Katsugi Okedo in this 5-week block as part of our Extensions series (Odaiko is being offered in the first 4-week block). If you have your own instrument please bring it along, otherwise we can provide you with an okedo and bachi for use during class.

ABOUT KATSUGI OKEDO 
Literally ‘shouldering drum’, the katsugi okedō is of lightweight construction – usually under 10kgs – enabling a player to sling the taiko over the shoulder and play while moving. This taiko is used in Tozan Bayashi – the music played to accompany chanting and procession in the 3-day ritual, Oyama Sankei. 
 
The virtuosic stick work most commonly associated with this instrument is a modern development widely attributed to the Kodo ensemble. Katsugi okedō is capable of fast, intricate rhythms and, as such, is often used in up-tempo, festive music. The metal ring that the skin is attached to does not protrude beyond the wooden shell as much as other style okedo (Eitetsu-style and dengaku okedō), allowing for greater ease in executing the fast, fluid cross-over movement of the left hand bachi (stick).
