Shime-daiko

The shime-daiko (締め太鼓) is a small Japanese drum.

It has a short but wide body with animal skin drumheads on both its upper and bottom sides.

Like the larger taiko drums, the shime-daiko is played with sticks called "bachi," while it's suspended on a stand.

Being very taut, the shime-daiko has a higher pitch than that of normal taiko.

Shime-daiko are used in various Japanese music ensembles, from nagauta, hayashi, taiko, to folk music, or min'yō ensembles.
