Japanese taiko (太鼓) drums have been played for centuries! In old times, they were used to send the people's messages and feelings to the gods. Today, the powerful drumming sound is still widely appreciated by all who listen 😌🙌 | Kazue, Your Japanese Guide

Witnessed a powerful taiko performance live in Japan — absolutely mesmerizing! The energy, rhythm, and tradition left me in awe. | Wander in Japan

Taiko, big band, swing dancing. 3 elements of a good time. Here is one of the pieces from our immersive show last year, Swingposium, that we produced with Epic Immersive and the Wesley Jazz Ensemble. If you missed that show and want to see more of this, stay tuned because we're going to be announcing more information soon about our upcoming Japantown Immersive event which will feature elements of Swingposium. Let us know if you have ideas for other swing standards we should combine with taiko!!

Have you ever seen a taiko performance? Here's a sample of the Kodo Taiko performance featured in the Drum Talk TV documentary filmed on Sado Island, Niigata, Japan! This was the most exhilarating concert I have ever seen in person, and I have been going to concerts since 1977! Check it out here: https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=663903884196471 | Drum Talk TV
