Just as many Japanese in the west teach Karate to their students, so the art of Taiko drumming has spread across the world, even to drums as therapy, bringing peace and joy to many suffering from problems of our modern lifestyle! When you love drums and percussion, it does indeed bring joy to the heart!

All my Facebook friends are playing this to their dogs tonight, to help disguise the firework sounds.

I have some serious respect for these guys. It took me long enough to learn Buchiawasi Daiko! I'd never be able to pull something like this with my own group 😅

[kathdemitry]

[jojodede]

[vanessaa.]

[jackeilhigh]

Taiko can be useful in the sword arts as well as a beautiful dance

[ethleen]

Taiko West version with all smiles. Not bad, but I'm not too impressed.

[kepoww]

Somehow I feel you got the technique but not the spirit. They play the taiko with reference, while in this show I just feel it is just an art performance without spiritual feeling. Just my two cents.

[nuberiffic]

I never thought I'd say this: but this performance just feels so...
...white.
