This is a video of me building a barrel taiko or Nagado Daiko. In this video, I talk about some of the aspects of thinning the staves of the barrel in order to remove the char and wine stain and to increase resonance.
@johalloran In addition to removing all the char and wine stain from the inside, I thin the staves for better resonance and to get as uniform a thickness as I can all the way around the drum.

Why are you thinning the thickness of the stave?
We've found that just a little clean up is enough to keep debris from falling off the interior of the drum.
