[Drum Tension Building in Size, Tempo and Intensity] For those of you who don't know what a taiko is, it's a huge (usually larger than a barrel - sometimes the size of a small car) Japanese drum beaten with large wooden sticks. This cut begins with one taiko starting a slow, simple beat - adding another @:11, and another @:17, and so on - until you have a large battery of these huge drums creating a thundering wall of sound by 1:16. Of course, the rhythm is getting faster and more intense until the huge final hit @1:36. Majestic, dynamic and awe-inspiring (especially for those of you with sub woofers), this cut is great for suggesting coming disaster or conflict.
