Spin/Twist Drum or Den Den Daiko
The Den Den Daiko, also known as the Spin/Twist Drum, is a traditional Japanese percussion instrument that is characterised by its unique spinning and twisting motion to produce rhythmic sound. This instrument consists of a wooden body with two beautifully painted drum heads and beads attached to strings wrapped around the instrument. When the player rotates the Den Den Daiko using a handle, the strings unravel and create a spinning motion that causes the beads to hit the drum heads. The resulting sound is a distinctive and lively rhythm that adds a dynamic element to traditional Japanese music. The Den Den Daiko is a popular instrument in festivals and other cultural events in Japan.
