Japanese Drums in Japanese is 和太鼓 which is read wadaiko. The Japanese word wadaiko meaning "Japanese Drums" also known as "Wadaiko" is composed of the words 和4F42 (read wa) in this case meaning "Japan" and 太鼓 taiko meaning "drum". This is the Japanese word for what is commonly called 太鼓 Taiko in the United States.

Japanese nouns have no grammatical number or gender. So wadaiko is both singular and plural which means that wadaiko refers to a single Japanese Drum as well as to several. Learn more at Wikipedia's Japanese Language.
