syncopate

Accents bubble off a steady roll of fingers answered by exclamations of alternating drums from the Kodo members who are still reciting the fundamental mantra rhythm. Kaneko comes in playing both sides of a small taiko in Korean Chyanngo style, first tripping then skipping syncopation off the phrase. After each member of the team has had a chance to spin rifs off the theme, both ensembles join together for a final recitation on the fundamental accents, coming to an abrupt halt on the same beat.
