Pretty good demo video. There are a few subtleties that could be added. One of the hozonkai's published a handbook for playing Chichi Yatai Bayashi, and it has some great footnotes on the way the rhythms are played in the traditional piece. One of the really difficult and unusual twists is that the Ji Uchi beat (and taiko intro) are not played with even hits. The rhythm is more like "Doro Doko" or "Tere Teke" rather than "Doko Doko" & "Teke Teke." It is pretty tricky to play those parts that way. There are a few other inflections in the rhythms that are interesting when played as they describe in their notes.
Thanks for sharing that information! Yeah, there is a lot of subtlety to the music not captured here, particularly compared to the actual festival music. This video was made a while back for my team, but I really hope anyone wanting to learn will consider the original sources and also what meanings the song has when played outside that context, and how those meanings evolve. I'll keep an eye out for that handbook, and hope others will use more than this resource to learn!
I appreciate the share of such instructive information as well as the way (point of view) this video has been shot (i would personally had lowered a bit more my camera to the drum)! Many Thanks !🙏 Greetings from Algeria 🇩🇿
Thanks for that feedback for the greetings! Love and peace to our friends worldwide! I’m about to teach this again, so that is helpful to me. Thanks so much!
