On the occasion of our tenth anniversary, we, at Sonica Instruments, want to express our thanks to the many musicians who have lent us their talent and to all our supporters who have backed our products with such enthusiasm. Sonica Instruments has produced several special videos to celebrate our tenth anniversary. We asked Takinojo Mochizuki, the hayashi ensemble.
percussionist who performed on the Kabuki & Noh Percussion library, to collaborate with us. The result of this collaboration are one-of-a-kind videos that document performances by a kabuki hayashi ensemble of four instruments (kotsuzumi, otsuzumi, taiko, and Noh flute). We are confident the spellbinding performance of just three drums, a flute, and kakegoe calls will heighten interest in traditional Japanese music and its performers.

Takinojo Mochizuki: Kotsuzumi & Taiko
Hyakushichi Fukuhara: Nohkan
Yusuke Kawashima: Taiko & Kotsuzumi
Kisaburo Katada: Otsuzumi
