Taiko-Furyū
Taiko-Furyū is a big drum performance. The performers beat the drum with art, sometimes combining small and big drums with entertaining rhythms, sometimes carrying a huge drum on a festival float. It can be also performed for spiritual purification and other magic functions at religious festivals. Big drums were originally played at purely religious festivals, but were later introduced in folkloric rituals such as Kashima-Nagashi or Bon Dance, with which the drums tended to become larger.

Matsuri-Bayashi
Matsuri-Bayashi is a performing art of music, but unlike the music performance for the Bon Dance, Matsuri-Bayashi is a music performance with a moving float. Players may be on a moving dashi float or walk after the yatai float with drums on it. In Akita Prefecture, Matsuri-Bayashi starts with introductory music. In some areas, local Matsuri-Bayashi such as Gion-Bayashi or Kensō-Naken Bayashi are performed. Sometimes Matsuri-Bayashi is performed with dance and/or songs. It is played with big and small drums, Japanese flutes, gongs, shamisen (three-stringed traditional Japanese musical instruments), tsuzumi drums, and other instruments.
