Classic Charisma

Overflowing with a timeless Taiko personality that's been modified to suit the latter-day player, the TAIKO-1 is based on the Katsugi Okedo Daiko, a popular Japanese drum that can be carried via a sling over the shoulder. The TAIKO-1 Electronic Drum pushes the original concept and pushes it to uncharted territory to be impressively adaptable in sound, so you can play a variety of styles with ease.

With onboard Dual-Zone trigger technology with positional sensing, achieve a selection of tones with absolute ease. The Centre hits are full-bodied and punchy, whereas playing closer to the edge delivers a sharper, crisper tone. Whatever tone you're in search for, the Roland Taiko-1 delivers it.

Portable Functionality

Weighing 4.5kg which is the same as the original drum, the TAIKO-1 delivers practical functionality so you can easily pack away the drum for easy portability in small vehicles or public transport. So whether you're making your way to a show or the studio, carrying the drum is never an issue.

Customised Timbre

Get the sound you want, as the Roland TAIKO-1 comes with the option to import your WAV sounds via the onboard USB flash drive. Whether it's conventional tones or something a bit more adventurous, this percussive drum has you covered.
