Former taiko player here. The terminology and images used in the plugin are a little off... an okedo is rope-tuned, lightweight and thin-shelled but you've got a nagado-style drum for its icon (barrel-shaped, heavy, heads tacked on).
It'd also be unusual for an ensemble to call some drums "chu-daiko" and others "nagado-daiko" because a chu-daiko is the stereotypical nagado-daiko.
Odaiko is just the group's biggest drum(s), and it can be nagado-daiko, hira-daiko (shorter in length but wider than a barrel, but the same style of construction) or even an okedo (less impressive but much easier to transport and set up for gigs). So that icon isn't wrong. But...
...the icon for Tsuzumi could be misleading. A tsuzumi is a handheld, hourglass-shaped, rope-tuned drum... but the icon is just a drum head with a misudomoe symbol painted on it. Exactly like the group Kodo paints on all of their odaiko...![:D]( "Very Happy")
I do like the art style of the icons though![:)]( "Smile")
As for the sound, it seems totally fine for cinematic stuff. It'd be really sparse for ensemble playing, both in terms of available instruments and playing techniques. Not bad for the intro price overall.
