World renowned KODO Drummers play a variety of wooden drums, including the massive 700 pound o-daiko drum, in addition to other traditional Japanese wind and string instruments. A single-point stereo microphone was used for this recording. Quiet stretches, incredible synchronized drumming, and the musicians' shouts make this a fascinating document. The Kodo drummers are powerful and disciplined, and their music is as well.
Quote from Lucky Clark New England News Syndicate:
This is a favorite demo disc for many world music lovers!
"Definitely for those of you who enjoy feeling rather than hearing your music."
The dynamic range on the CD version is anything but limited -
there are easily 60db jumps from quiet to loud passages.
**CAUTION** Set your volume level accordingly, this CD contain music of extraordinarily WIDE DYNAMIC range, encompassing long passages at the threshold of audibility that build to levels of extreme intensity.

To play my lossless files, I use this freeware:
THE KMPlayer (K-Multimedia Player -

Not to be confused with
KMPlayer (the Unix based Konqueror Media Player)
Yep, I know it's confusing, lol. You can get the 14 Mb file here if you wish.
