kuchi shoga

Kuchi shōga (口唱歌), also known as 'kuchi showa' and 'kuchi shoka', is a Japanese system for 'pronouncing' the sounds of drums, especially Japanese drums (taiko). For example, a deep, sustained sound from the center of the drum might be rendered as "don" and a sharp tap on the side would be "ka". "Tsu" represents a lightly struck note, and "su" represents a pause. The system is used for recording, teaching, and memorization of drum rhythms. It is also used for 'subtitles' in drumming video games like Taiko no tatsujin.
