    Taiko are Japanese percussion instruments that include wadaiko drums and kumidaiko drum ensembles. Taiko have a long history in Japanese folklore but the modern kumidaiko style was invented in the 1950s by Daihachi Oguchi. He created the first kumidaiko ensemble by arranging different sized taiko drums to each play distinct rhythmic parts, inspired by western drum sets. This innovative kumidaiko style changed taiko music profoundly and became widely adopted, helping to popularize taiko drumming performances.

    Taiko ( ) are a broad range of Japanese percussion instruments.

    Within Japan, the term refers to any kind of drum, but outside Japan, the term is often used to refer to any of the various Japanese drums called wadaiko ( ) and to the form of ensemble taiko drumming more specifically called kumidaiko ( , lit. "drum collection"). The process of constructing taiko varies between manufacturers, but must include the making and shaping of a drum body, choosing a skin for the drum head, and carefully stretching the skin over the drum head to create appropriate tension. Taiko have a mythological origin in Japanese folklore and appears to be a drumming style of Japanese origin.

    " Kumi-daiko" literally means a taiko ensemble that consists of various taikos. Surprisingly, the Kumi daiko style was invented in 1950's by single person although taiko itself has a long history. Daihachi Oguchi, the founder of Osuwa Daiko, created the Kumi -Daiko style in 1951. He was actually a jazz drummer. One day, he was asked to interpret an old sheet of t aiko music for the Osuwa Shrine, which was found in an old warehouse. The sheet music was written in an old Japanese notation and he couldn't understand it at first. He, fortunately, found an old man who had performed the tune, and then he succeeded in interpreting it at last. However, as a jazz player, the rhythm pattern of the tune was too simple for him to play. He wondered why nobody played taiko together. A marvelous idea came across his mind and made him decide to break through the tradition. Inspired by a western drum set, he formed a group in which each player beats a different taiko; in short, he gave the group a function as a drum set. A high -pitched Shime-daiko established a basic rhythm like a snare drum does. A growling Nagado -daiko added accents like a bass drum. His intention was right to the point, and this epoch-making invention changed the taiko music forever. Following the Osuwa Daiko, Yushima Tenjin Sukeroku Daiko, which was based on Edo -bayashi style, was formed in 1959 by the four member s: Yoshihira Ishikawa, Yutaka Ishikawa, Seido Kobayashi, and Motoei Onozato. The characteristics of the group were the speed, powerful playing and unique choreography. Later, the group was split to two groups, the Yushima Tenjin Sukeroku Daiko and Oedo Sukeroku Daiko founded by Seido Kobayashi.
