'Taiko' pioneer Eitetsu Hayashi to mark 45 years of drumming to his own beat | The Japan Times

英哲さんのこれまでの歩みや12月14日(月)オーチャードホールで行われる「集え!寿ぎの歌」などについて書かれています、特別ゲストの山下洋輔さん、上妻宏光さんとの演奏 フィナーレ?はいったいどんなものになるのでしょうか、とても楽しみです。
 Yamashita and Agatsuma are also expected to join Hayashi for a thrilling finale that will put a Japanese spin on one of the world’s most famous symphonies. And, of course, the drummer will be on stage, in front of his giant taiko and with his back to the audience in his trademark stance.

記事の最後の部分がいいです、あのリズムの刻み方のことね。
“I’ve discovered that the beating of a large taiko produces overtones that are similar to the sound of a mother’s heartbeat, the kind a baby would hear while in the womb,” Hayashi says. “In other words, by pounding on the taiko we can experience a sound that we heard at the beginning of life, one that every person on Earth would have heard — regardless of ethnicity.”
It is definitely a unifying thought.
