So....I've been digging deep for this particular clip, and should have known that it would already be posted here on the Taiko Community group. Thank you, Kristi Tsukida for sharing!

The next step, is to track down the earlier version...maybe 1943? I hear it has even more taiko in it - has anyone seen it?

When watching this, I've always assumed that "rotmi" is a classic example of bad subtitling and should read "rhythm". "Colt rotmi" would therefore be "horse rhythm" aka "galloping horses". Anyone got any better ideas? "Goon" leaves me completely stumped.

From what I read, "goon" is supposed to be "Gion"...as in "Kokura Gion". I don't feign to know what it means, I just know it in the context of the annual matsuri of the same name. Does anyone know if this movie is set in the Fukuoka area? That would make sense!

Both the 1943 version and the 1958 version were directed by Hiroshi Inagaki. The rhythms in the drumming scene are not from Kokura Gion Daiko but were developed by Kabuki musician Tanaka Denjiro, as is elaborated upon in Bender's "Taiko Boom" book.

1) It would make sense that the rhythms are "inspired" by Kokura Gion, given that the movie takes place in Kokura

2) Bando is not the birth name of either Tsumasaburo or Tamasaburo, but a stage name. Still, they're not related, as it's two different "Bando,", so to speak. Tsumasaburo is 阪東, and Tamasaburo is 坂東. Further, it appears that Tsumasaburo took the name himself, while the current Tamasaburo (Tamasaburo V) inherited the name, as is practice in kabuki.

It is the origin of Ondekoza. And musicality and humanity.

The whole movie can be watched on Hulu here (only from within the US, -or via US proxy- though): http://www.hulu.com/watch/316755

1) It would make sense that the rhythms are "inspired" by Kokura Gion, given that the movie takes place in Kokura

2) Bando is not the birth name of either Tsumasaburo or Tamasaburo, but a stage name. Still, they're not related, as it's two different "Bando,", so to speak. Tsumasaburo is 阪東, and Tamasaburo is 坂東. Further, it appears that Tsumasaburo took the name himself, while the current Tamasaburo (Tamasaburo V) inherited the name, as is practice in kabuki.

Incidentally, I noticed the 1943 version's Muhomatsu is played by Bando Tsumasaburo...do they just coincidentally share the same stage family name, or is he somehow connected to Bando Tamasaburo, the current artistic director of Kodo?
