The Roland Taiko-1 Electronic Drum is a percussion instrument created by the technology brand to offer users a modern way to practice traditional Japanese percussion in a customizable way. The drum draws design inspiration from the wadaiko drum and features a digitized interface that will allow musicians to customize the way that the unit will sound when played. The unit will create sound feedback openly or privately when paired with a set of headphones to let users practice in public spaces and living areas without disturbing others.
The Roland Taiko-1 Electronic Drum has a somewhat skeletal design that can be easily collapsed down for easy portability to make it ideal for students or performers who require a unit that's ready to go along with them.
