The smaller of Pearl’s Taiko is known as Hira and Shime. These instruments cut through the thunder of the Miya family with a warm tone, yet piercing attack. Like our Miya Taiko, the Hira Taiko are a fixed pitch and non-tunable, but the Shime is mechanically tensioned via a wrench tuning system. These instruments are shown supported by our award winning Pearl Advanced Hardware System. The S-2000 Snare stand with adjustable basket, and retractable spiked feet will secure your Hira and Shime at virtually any height and angle.
