Kakko

Kakko

The nihongo|"kakko"|羯鼓 or is a Japanese double-headed drum. One way in which the "kakko" differs from the regular taiko drum is in the way in which it is made taut. Like the Shime-Daiko and "tsuzumi", the skin of the heads are first stretched over metal hoops before they are placed on the body, tying them to each other and tightening them making them taut. "Kakko" drums are usually laid on their sides on stands so that it can be played with sticks called "bachi" on both heads. Kakko drums have been used in taiko ensembles, but they are also used in older Japanese court music called gagaku.

The "kakko" is derived from the Chinese "jiegu", a drum popular in China during the Tang Dynasty, as is the Korean "galgo".
