Please forgive us if we are sold out!! These are oak drumsticks for Japanese Taiko drums. These are a size-down version of oak drumsticks for Bon Odori (Japanese summer dance festivals). Drumsticks sold cheaply are made of soft Japanese oak or South Sea wood. The tips get dented quickly! The smallest size; not sold in regular shops! Left drumstick: Length 27cm, Weight 110g per stick Right drumstick: Length 30cm, Weight 125g per stick Diameter: 2.3cm Recently, many kindergartens and nursery schools are incorporating Taiko drum lessons into their curriculum. I myself have gone to teach Taiko drums to nursery school children. I also teach the basics to the teachers so that they can teach the children even when I'm not there. That's when I realized that the drumsticks felt long for the children. Depending on the drum shop, the shortest drumsticks are 1 shaku 1 sun (32cm) to 1 shaku 3 sun (38cm), approximately. Most kindergartens and nursery schools use 38cm drumsticks. And the children were watching and practicing Taiko drums with serious eyes! 32cm is manageable, but with 38cm, it felt like they were being tossed around by the drumsticks. So, this time, I remade the drumsticks and am offering them for sale, specifically for Taiko drums for nursery school children and kids. I made them for practice at home, but of course, they can be used for performances too! Children all love Taiko drums! The longer ones are for the older siblings, and the shorter ones are for the younger siblings. The younger ones love to imitate their older siblings, so I think these are just right. They might be a good gift for Children's Day♪ Their first real set of personal drumsticks!! I think they would also be happy if you made them a handmade drumstick bag. Every year, I play Taiko drums at Bon Odori festivals in several locations, and almost always, little kids tell me they want to learn to play the drums too. For children, the stage is a place of longing. Maybe someday, their dream is to play Taiko drums on the stage! For reference, the 12th photo is a comparison with my drumsticks. 39cm 220g Perhaps too long for nursery school children whose waists are at that height?! The purchase was made at Miyamoto Unosuke Shoten in Asakusa, the most famous drum shop in Japan. #TaikoDrums #Drumsticks #Oak #OakDrumsticks #Kindergarten #NurserySchool #Children #Toddlers #Bachi #TaikoDrumSet #Kids
