泉渉彭
sen|shou|hou
again I know this isn't the "coiled metal" meaning of 'spring', but it has a nice internal logic with the idea of crossing a stream near its source.
I have to say I can't guarantee my suggestions here. This is beyond my ability with kanji really...just my best guess :/

Oooo... yeah, I like that fountainhead concept! And those definitions are certainly close enough for my purposes. I'll see which option the kids like better (since this is for a high school marching band show). We actually just finished gluing together the oak staves of the barrels.... making taiko is a heck of a lot of work!!!!
Thanks again!
