Outside Japan, the word is often used to refer to any of the various Japanese drums (???, wa-daiko, "Japanese drum", in Japanese) and to the relatively recent art-form of ensemble taiko drumming (sometimes called more specifically, kumi-daiko. The performances can last between 5 and 25 minutes and typically follow a jo-ha-kyu (beginning, middle, end/rapid, sudden, urgent, and emergency) structure, which means the performance will speed up significantly towards the grand finale.
