In the Japanese instrument’s genre, shime daiko refers to two types of drums. One is played for modern taiko performance and is called tsuke shime daiko (also found in this collection).  Another is played for the traditional folk performing arts, such as folk songs, and various Japanese music ensembles, including min’yō ensembles.  It is referred to as shime daiko, as seen here.  Sometimes in the noh and kabuki theatre, it is referred to as the Nōdaiko, as it is the most common drum of the Nō theatre.

This two-headed shallow-bodied Japanese drum is called a shime daiko, because it is laced (shimeru).  It is made of zelkova wood and each of the two cowhide heads are lapped on to iron rings and laced to the body, however, the drumhead is not as thick as the tsuke shime daiko’s.  The shime daiko is often hung from the stand called teren dai (seen here).  It is tensioned with two ropes: one is used to tension the heads by putting it through the holes and another is used to wind the rope and add more tension. The sound has a lower and more muffled sound than the tsuke shime daiko. The shime daiko is played with sticks called bachi. 

Taiko/daiko is a generic term for all Japanese drums, but most commonly applied to large cylindrical barrel drums.
