Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
I have no taiko drums to offer you, but i do have a consolation tuba carnival if that makes it up to you at all https://youtu.be/fYOsNp4O7AU
Did someone say tubas?
TBF, most things are a step down from MJ.
🐐
Love taiko drums, check the tube for them.
I’ve become a fan of Grand Sumo over the last decade or so. The NHK stream broadcast of the daily highlights begins with the drums that signal the beginning of the day’s matches of the current Basho (tournament).
A recording is really going to pound your subwoofer!
When I went to Japan when I was 22 years old, I got to play those drums at a kite festival. And when I say kite festival, I mean the ones that are like the size of houses. It was really awesome.
However; this song just popped up into my feed. Thinking of you.
