I met someone who asked what is 대취타, because August D released a song, 대취타.
대취타 - August D

대취타 大吹打 [Dae chwi ta] means The greatest march.
大 - great, 吹 - blowing (wind instrument), 打 - stroking (percussion)
대취타 is a genre of Korean traditional music consisting of military music played by wind and percussion instruments, generally performed while marching and it is the biggest march for king’s parade or military.
Percussion instruments are main.
It consists of percussion such as 용고(북), 장구, 징, 자바라 and wind instrument such as 태평소, 나발, 나각 and so on.
There is a conductor called 집사(執事), 집사 has a baton called 등채.
The conductor holds the baton with its two hands.

when daechwita starts, the conductor raises the baton over the head and command loudly "명금일하 대취타 (鳴金一下 大吹打) 하랍신다."

<명금일하 (鳴金一下)> means "Stroke 징(Jing) once", and <대취타 (大吹打) 하랍신다> means "(king/commander ordered) Play 대취타(大吹打)"
대취타 always starts by a commanding loudly, "명금일하 대취타 (鳴金一下 大吹打) 하랍신다.", it is same at the August D's song.
"명금일하 대취타 (鳴金一下 大吹打) 하랍신다."
(king or commander asked) "Stroke jing once, then play daechwita"
