Aftermath of taiko lesson #1: Left trapezius feels like it's been used, but doesn't really qualify as sore.  Of all places, I'm feeling it in my calves, and I walk two miles a day. The stance is going to take getting used to.

In the meantime, I've been thinking about the PVC practice drums they had. http://www.taiko.us/cheap.html
even proves you can make one that isn't cheesy looking. If I stick with taiko, this might be a viable way to get into trouble get something going at Estrella with the Rising Sun crew. They're lighter than wooden taiko, which would make them easier to transport. Not to mention outdoor conditions. I may have to research synthetic vs. hide drum heads at some point....
