Tahitians never did drum PERIOD on the wooden slit Gong! They were taught by the Cook islander is 1952! Try and find a video of tahitians druming da toere's before that! Still no one can provide one single video! And if the Tahitans did so called drum on the wooden slit gong why did the "Tahitian heiva" only start in the mid70's hmm...? Cuz deh still cant admit that they threw their own culture away jus for something better! Sad and Pathetic! Dats why ders no Cook island village in P.C.C.!!!

@Midnite4Life777 what a pitty to see so hateful and so stupid thoughts!!! :( The only response is : check on Youtube that film called TABU, filmed in 1932 in BoraBora and your tiny brain will realized that Tahitians always play TOERE and PAHU... Please check it and STOP your Hateful on Tahitians!!!

i wonder why they stopped playing the double tokere in most tahitian groups i see nowadays...i like to see some diversity in groups, but why sooo many groups got rid of such a great thing will remain a mystery to me..bamboo/tini can be substitued for it that still sounds great and is CRUCIAL for the feel

[teriimataha]

@1lolopaka4u YES! I agree. For me this instrument enhance the whole Toere playing ;o)

@Midnite4Life777 funny to see that u can have so much hate towards ur own cousins, but I guess ur just brainwashed and that ur elders forgot to tell u that u kuki airani people and Maori came from Rai'atea - Tahiti:D MO HA HA! Shame shame on u!

@Midnite4Life777 I dont know if you haughty cook islanders know, but a navigator FROM TAHITI brought music to the cook islands. And I agree with Teriimataha. You bitter...

@keitawhiti yes thank you that explains a lot. and i have watched videos of u guys and i love what you have done to innovate new style oro oro it is great.

[keitawhiti]

@1lolopaka4u The Tahitians nowadays stopped playing the double toere because that instrument belongs to the Cook Islands. So the Tahitians took away that instrument from the Heiva so that Tahitian drumming wont resemble that of the Cook Islands.Thats why today VERY few people play that instrument in Tahitian dance groups. Plus today tahitians have a unique way of drumming, that we call "oro oro". Thought it might help you a little bit.
