Uchikomi-- shidara residency

everyday shidara members do a special kind of practice called uchikomi where they play full power all together and try to play as one---to become one sound. usually this is done on the shime daiko. the residency participants got a small taste of what uchikomi is like, playing all-out for 30 minutes. on this day shidara brought it down to 20 but everyone was still pushed to their limit. shidara members do uchikomi for an hour to an hour and a half every day.
