mr=P'ansori KosuA "gosu" (literally "drummer") is a drummer in performances of pansori, a form of traditional Korean narrative/theater that is usually performed by just two musicians: a solo singer and a drummer. The "gosu" supports the "sorikkun", or singer, by providing rhythms with a "soribuk" (pansori drum), a shallow barrel drum with a pine body and two cowhide heads. Impromptu short verbal sounds made by the "gosu", called "chu-imsae", also play an important role.
