My friend invited me to a Taiko show one day and it was one of the most amazing events I've been to. Hearing those live is incredible, you can literally feel those vibrations in your whole body stimulating your blood. No wonder those drums were used in war
unless you own a cinema system with a powerful subwoofer 😏 then you can feel the beats of the music in your body, feels amazing, its like body massage but on the inside! but seeing these drums live would be much cooler.
@@테무진-s4d mmm toxic national pride. I don’t give a damn what race or culture anyone belongs to but shit like this annoys me despite how much I like Koreans.
Japan proves one thing: no matter how many ages and seasons go by, drums will always sound amazing as an instrument, and they will always touch a primal part of our psyche.
Both the Haka and taiko are popular here in Hawaii, in fact the Hawaii football team has been known to do the haka before a game, just to get themselves psyched up….
I saw a Japanese drumming performance in person once. I'll never forget the way my entire soul vibrated and how strong I felt the beat hit my entire chest. It's almost literally breathtaking when that power smacks into you. The energy in person is IN-SANE!
Oldest instrument , hands and whatever. Of course, such drums are already advanced something (anything). But the primal need is the oldest in its form. Espacialy warriors do like it. I think there is "tree of life" for instruments.
If people knew the incredible work done to create these drums, they would be amazed. The largest drums, weighing sometimes almost 3 tons (!), are made in one piece from the carefully selected trunk of a gigantic 700 year old elm tree. The drum is hollowed out, then spends 5 years in a drying room. Then it often goes into a huge vacuum chamber to remove any remaining moisture. THen the drums are smoked to help harden the wood. Only then do craftsmen with over 15-20 years experience begin, by hand, to give the drum its final shape. Next, artisans chisel special patterns into the inside of the drum to help tune it's resonance, based on the wood's grain, density, and if the drum will be used indoors or outside. Next, the outside is protected by several coats of high quality lacquer. Then, lastly, carefully selected and treated animal skins are tightened over the drumheads using twisted ropes for tensioners, and nailed in place with close to a thousand custom made nails. Incredible.
My school used to have a Taiko drum club, and after school, you could hear the sound of almost a hundred of these drums going off at once. It was one of my favourite things
The look in their eyes, those ripped arms, those war cries, that unmatched passion! These guy HAVE TO BE performing at the Tokyo 2020 opening ceremony!
I remember I had a Taiko class in school and that was still one of the best moments of my academic career. There’s something so special about these drums that really hit a deeper level of your body and mind
Honor. Respect. Tradition. Passion with purpose.... The ability to communicate that clearly without a word spoken is beautiful. I hope this world does not lose this art....
I attempted 2 Taiko lessons. Best experience ever. It was like a thunder rolling through the whole hall and the loud silence, when everyone of us stopped drumming simultaneously was amazing. I never felt my body this intensive before. Would do it everytime again. (Sorry for mistakes. English isn't my native language.)
I bet you had a brilliant time! Can I ask why you didn't take more lessons? Also do not worry, your English was absolutely spot on and got across the subtleties about the drum sounds perfectly. What is your native language if you don't mind me asking? I hope you are doing well and I wish you all the best for the future!
@@WeWillAlwaysHaveVALIS Oh, I took these lessons while I was in a psychiatric clinic. After that I looked up what a regular lesson would cost, but sadly I can't afford this. Otherwise I would've continued. It really is an experience which one should've make sometime. And thanks. I'm practicing my english skills. 😁 I'm from Germany. Of course I wish you the best, too. Have a good time and hope you're doing well.
That's exactly the grilling feeling i got from marching drill! When we excecuted a complicated back and forth maneuver, then EVERY single heel tap we had hit the pavement at the EXACT same time? I've never found anytbinggbto match it.
The sound, skill-level, fitness level AND the details about the making of these amazing instruments is absolutely incredible. Thank You everyone for bringing this to us all.
This level of skill, training, endurance is so much like all of Japan's martial arts. Breathtaking. I wish the audience hadn't been so quick to applaud. The last vibration of those drums into the void would have been ethereal.
I got to witness a community in Japan practicing these drums for a festival that was coming up. I'll never forget how excited the drums made me feel as their reverberations went through my body. It was like my soul lit up.
Imagine the practicing. I'm a drummer and I actually played Japanese Taiko style drumming before. It is a lot of work to play it that clean. And that was of course the Americanized version. This in its origin is unreal
In Phoenix there is a school that does this, watching them all I could think was that is a bitching way to get into shape. I have three videos on my channel :)
You can almost feel the burning in their forearms... It looks like a workout that they're completely zoned into...They love the pain! All the hard work. Amazing.
I highly doubt it hurts them anymore, like mechanics under a car, new apprentices can barely stand with their arms up for more then 30 seconds a time while the more experienced can work as long as they want to.
As others have already mentioned recordings don't do Kodo justice. One has to experience a live performance to not only hear and see but most importantly FEEL the power of their drumming. It is akin to a spiritual experience. Also they are easily the supreme group amongst all the groups I have ever witnessed. I have never been to one of their performances where the audience didn't erupt into an immediate standing ovation not only in response to what it had just witnessed but also in response to the energy the performance had generated.
Watching a taiko performance live is something else, you can feel it in every particle of your being. Not to mention the passion they put into this is something else to watch
For those who haven't played or seen these being played don't know how each on those drums resonates through your whole body almost like an earthquake, in almost amplifies your heart, like there beating on your chest not their drums, I played taiko drums when I was younger and it was flat out one of the best experiences I have.
the audience, depending on the venue, experiences those drums the same way. may sound odd, but much the same can be said of drum and bugle core, DCI. go see BLAST if it comes around again. a broadway show based on the the very best of DCI performances. played for 2 years on broadway, winning best of type awards both years, then took it on the road. when the entire horn line come to the front, and eventually settles one ondoubled chord at full volume your entire body becomes the sounding board for that chord and anyone in the front dozen or so seats in the orchestra section are rocked back in their seats with the force of the sound blast. the same can be said of the full drum line of a competition corps th-cam.com/video/1DXQ0LpOfsI/w-d-xo.html
First time I heard Taiko was during the Kauai marathon last year. I was beat up all over my body with pain shooting down my legs when I heard this beautiful sound out in the distance. My pace picked up as the sounds flowed through my body and gave me a boost through the pain and felt something beautiful inside. Something growing and flowing within as the vibes flowed through. Something beautiful. Thanks for that experience and that moment. It's something truly beautiful and much appreciation to the people keeping this art alive.
Came to learn more about traditional Japanese music for a song I'm working on. Stayed for an incredible and moving display of talent, simply through one giant instrument and a couple of very gifted individuals. Awesome stuff
The little touch I liked: When they finished they didn't bow to the audience. They just stopped. Stood up straight like: "Our work here is done." and strode off, alpha af.
Note Edit: This was posted before the COVID-19 Pandemic. I noticed how ironic this got, so enjoy my comment. This is what I want to see in the 2020 Olympics.
J'avais visité une école au Japonet "vu ça" en 1976/77 lors d'un stage de Kendo. Puis il y a 35 ans, OnDe KoZa à l'espace Pierre Cardin de Paris. Après en octobre 2018, une représentations à eu lieu aux Matsuri dans le cadre des relations Franco-japonaises. J'attends avec impatience 2024 pour assister à la représentation de Kodõ à la Salle Pleyel. Domo arigato à tout ces artistes. ❤
the audience should be stilled from applause for at least 5 to ten seconds after end of drumming to hear the reverberations in silence in my opinion, silents punctuates and accentuates the power of the sound,. incredible kodo drummers are amazing
That's a good point. I hadn't even considered that from the perspective of the audience even though I appreciate it in music everywhere. Thank you for the idea; I'll be sure to take it with me. :-)
Scott Graber its just human nature to clap when people think its the end. I doubt we will ever get the silence you describe after a performance because someone somewhere in the crowd will start clapping and everyone will think its the end of performance and join in. Its a shame, really...
Benjamin Landgren It's only habit, I guess. I went to see them when they came to my country and the public was "gently encouraged", at the entrance of the theatre, to respect the final silence, so they did. Kodo live is one of the most powerful things I've experienced. If I were 16 I'd move to Sado Island today.
Japan's culture has a very powerful feel in it, especially in its music. When I hear it, I sense something powerful. Something strong. Something beautiful. 🇯🇵
I saw one of this drummers in a summer festival. its beyod words, the feeling, the respect and devotion to the sacred imprinted forever in your soul. LOVE JAPANESE CULTURE
This is a very common thing for all drummers. After playing a new drumhead for even 1 hours of practice, you'll see scratch marks forming. They turn into big blobs of them, like for these performers, after dozens of hours.
@@doredam8919 Wouldn't you feel proud? Putting in enough work into your art that it shows on the instrument? I play cello and violin and I'll tell you that while seeing a frayed bow hurts (they are expensive as hell despite the size) it brings me pride knowing I played my soul out. Being rough or vigorous with your instrument to convey the song is a rather profound feeling. I think you understand it well though given you play drums?
you should look into a show called Kamen Rider Hibiki. Its a TV series from Japan about superheroes fighting monsters with musical instruments. The main character uses Taiko drum mallets called Ongekibo to kill monsters.
If you notice the upload date in late March of 2011, and read the description with a message to those affected by the Earthquake and Tsunami, I think it was likely something to do with the March 11, 2011 Fukushima disaster. These drums have always fascinated me. And to learn they are made by a single piece of wood, some too large to ever move makes them all the more interesting. I am also fascinated in the Bonsai tree artform. What is it with the Japanese and Trees? It's beautiful.
I went on a whim to the 2002 show at the Columbus Zoo. I had no idea what to expect as I had never heard them before. I was so amazed that I was stunned! The show was... amazing! I would love to see them again!
😊❤I saw them at City Centre in 984, NYC. They were amazing. Unforgettable. Spectacular. The strength they had, physically and spiritually, was awesome.
Those symbols on their drums are the mitsudomoe, a traditional symbol closely associated with Hachiman, a Shinto kami of war. Hachiman is also associated with the number three and things that come in sets of three, which explains the mitsudomoe (the symbol with three commas) and the three odaiko players
I've seen performances live twice now and it's such an amazing experience, both watching the drummers perform on stage and feeling the beat of the drums like a second heartbeat, there's nothing like it. And this performance in particular is so powerful, I absolutely love it! :)
I was listening African drums for to jump around to not get poring after sleepless night then I ended up hier and I am become very happy humans are related to each other’s without knowing.

This type of drumming is so fascinating There was a taiko drum (definitely not drums this big though) performance at a special Japanese themed festival I went to once and it’s so cool and truly thunderous
I'm completely envious of the guy at 6:00, he's having an fucking insane dopamine release. These men go through something both incredibly stimulating and painful simultaneously, displaying the pure, primal nature of man. Fucking stunning, I can only imagine how good it feels to slam those drums.
A simple neurose I slammed a drum as hard as I could once and I’m telling you it’s fucking rough specially because all the energy u put into one slam your arm bounces off and you gotta absorb the recoil to put in the next slam in order to get the right rhythm It’s fucking insane and a good stress reliever :)
Kodo, heartbeat drummers...So in sync even their hearts beat together...Kodo drummers came to Boston back in the 1980's they ran the Boston marathon before their performance that night.
Not only is this amazing to listen to, but the entire presentation makes you feel it even if you can't be there in person. I loved when they switched! 😁👏 Bravo, gentlemen! Excellent!
This is the first time I've ever seen and heard Taiko drummers . . . I'm speechless having just seen the profound/divine integrity of their fierce energy artfully expressed.
Wow!!! That was an impressive performance. The drums are big and beautiful. The men were strong, and wonderful to watch. The work and strength that it takes to go that long shows in the sweat and muscles that it takes to perform like this. Great job!!
I have lived in Japan long time and I know what the plot of this drum music. The plot to fighting with your fears and weakness sides of your character. "You will win anyone and any live situation if you decide to win yourself"
The Japanese are a good example for both developed and underdeveloped countries! they worked hard to get to this position, but too bad they are overdoing it ...
Can't imagine what dull bulbs gave this a thumbs down... Most fascinating thing is discovering other cultures... That said, this would be great therapy for those with anger issues... They are amazing!!!
Some people want a world without differences. I think is insane not to worship our amazing and beautiful differences. Every culture has its uniqueness and I think globalization will end up destroying them. Save the cultures from all around the world.
in my country.. Holland.. many of our cultural things dissapeared since we became a multi cultural country. we are a simple nation down to earth no nonsense basically. we had a candy with chocolate and some creamy mouse inside and a waffle at the bottom. we called it for ages negrokiss and no it's not ment as racism it's a compliment.. the candy is sweet and referred to a kiss of a African that in the old days been called as negros. we don't use that word for Africans anymore. it's meaning has been determined as racist but that candy still existed. till around 10 years or so ago.. Africans who came here as refugee or emigrated to here been complaining and the candy had to change its name.. now it's called kiss. it's a very old candy. same with our sint Nicholas celebration. it has a very old origin. it's about a holy man who was kind to children and had slaves but got them to set them free from slavery and he offered them a job with payment which they accepted. sint Nicholas was known as helping the poor especially poor kids. ever after his birthday been celebrated and the last centuries till now that happens with people who dress up as sint Nicholas and his freed slaves that had the names black Piet as a meeting with the kids after they came back to Holland from Spain, as the story tells he lives in Spain, to celebrate sint Nicholas birthday who give on his birthday presents to children who behaved well. Piet is a Dutch name. the other side of the story is that it weren't freed slaves but employee's who got black from climbing through the chimneys so the history about sint Nicholas and his black Piet's isn't very clear but in no way we mean it as racism. every year we do it for the kids like santa Claus in America. it's cute with a cute story line. but.. as we have African refugees and immigrants they complained for the people who dress them up as black Piet with their faces painted black or dark brown and it's on a political agenda now to change this event and forbid the painted faces and every year again there are conflicts from people who protest against this celebration for kids. this is nearly the last thing of our cultural history in celebrations and memberance. yes globalisation does damage cultural heritage.
@Jay Rober Africans paint their face white either.. should we make a issue about either to be equal? or is it one way traffic? we don't want to change a hundreds years old tradition because some foreigners started to make a issue about it.. no nation would want that. be reasonable
@Jay Rober black piet isn't a clear noted history that we can speak facts no matter what you say. that history isn't noted down so it are all assumptions and nothing more. there are 2 possible story lines about black piet. piet is a very common name in Holland. a very dutch name. so it is logic it were just Dutch people who got black from climbing the chimneys to drop the presents for the children. the other story line is he possible freed slaves to hire them and pay them a salary. sint Nicholas.. saint Nicholas.. isn't nowhere related to dark deeds. he is a holy man with a very good reputation. in the history documentation that exist about saint Nicholas nothing is relateble to something negative and bad. good people do exist and saint Nicholas was one of them. the saint Nicholas celebration is very very old and holds no harm and is innocent. don't make issues from innocent things. only a darkened heart would do that. let the Dutch people have their traditions in peace or indeed stay away. we don't want negative minded people here who are blunt to change a hundreds and thousand year old tradition out of the 8th century.
This is so true, many people try to say that many countries don’t have culture because it is “stolen” which is ridiculous. Or make certain places change their meaningful symbols or names to certain objects/food just so they can make foreigners feel comfortable or fit the foreigner’s narrative. It’s destructive to these people see their culture attacked and changed for the benefit of people that don’t even belong there. That’s why I’m not surprised or even bothered at the fact that many people just want to stick with their own people, all because outsiders keep changing what’s dear to them. Globalization really did damage many cultures and it isn’t going to stop.
Jay Rober you act like one of those bitches who leave a bad review because their steak was over cooked and say “I’ll never visit this place again, they lost money.” lol people visit the Netherlands all the time, hell even immigrants go there if it was such a racist horrible place, why flee there in the first place? As an immigrant i would never complain or change a culture that welcomed me, if they all love to preach and tell people to learn their culture then they should do the same and learn the culture they live in and not change it. Especially people who never been there in the first place and then go and say “I’ll never visit your place.” Good because they don’t want you there either. Fuck off entitled brat.
This can make any crazy person sane again... SPIRIT!!! P.S. before anyone else takes this comment in the wrong way - i never meant this as a joke on people with mental health issues as im fully aware we all go thru so much painful stuff in life - thats why i said what i said. This video is healing - i've been thru a very long long dark night of the soul and this type of stuff gives me strength and inspiration. God bless ya'll.
Japanese drums are an amazing experience. I saw a visiting group in Melbourne ar Daimaru, when it was still there and it completely blew me away. The rhythms, the power. The Drums were massive and and the drummer stood inside the drum to play it. The men were dwarfed by the instruments. But it wasn' t all men. A very talented female dancer in a plain stormy dark blue leotard with fluoro lightning streaks on her costume did this spectacular thunder and lightning dance to the great drumming rhythms, no other accompaniments. If I recall, I think it was winter, with the usual grey, miserable Melbourne wet stormy weather. This show was perfect for the place and time and people were really getting it, totally blown away by the performance. A bit of real artistry.
I saw a Japanese drummer group similar to this at the Missouri botanical Garden when I was a kid...Whole different experience when you’re actually there and feeling the reverberation of those drums. It made an impression.
No wonder they're often topless during this performance, look at how much they've sweated. Such power. They were banging those drums like they intended to slay it.
grew up watching Taiko performances in the Buhhdist temples. the sound has been muted in this video?? Taiko drums this big ARE REALLY REALLY LOUD! really impressive. you will FEEL them coming up through your feet
Absolutely incredible! I've attended live Taiko performances before, but never anything this powerful. Must have been a truly amazing experience to actually have BEEN in the audience!
I can't help think about Musashi Miyamoto when seeing this. It will obviously provokes a fighting spirit. But even in the preformers, they themselves are certainly warrior like. The pure calmness they had once finished but the ferocity when in action. They def know something about "the way" of the drummer
The best recording of the deep drum sound that I have heard was on a Fourplay album. The song was called Chant. In the intro of that song if your listening to it on earbuds or out loud you feel it. They captured it the best in a recording.
My friend invited me to a Taiko show one day and it was one of the most amazing events I've been to. Hearing those live is incredible, you can literally feel those vibrations in your whole body stimulating your blood. No wonder those drums were used in war
After the codvid I would buy a ticket for a show.

I have never been to one of their performances where the audience didn't erupt into an immediate standing ovation not only in response to what it had just witnessed but also in response to the energy the performance had generated.
Watching a taiko performance live is something else, you can feel it in every particle of your being. Not to mention the passion they put into this is something else to watch
For real. You feel the drum beats in every part of your body. Your whole body vibrates with every strike. It's an amazing experience.
For those who haven't played or seen these being played don't know how each on those drums resonates through your whole body almost like an earthquake, in almost amplifies your heart, like there beating on your chest not their drums, I played taiko drums when I was younger and it was flat out one of the best experiences I have.
Scorched Earth I saw a group called Nagashimo-jindaiko back in 1992. When they ended playing I was in an adrenaline rush.
This city I lived was a japanese colony founded in WWII, every year they played and it was awesome, I kind of miss the people there
the audience, depending on the venue, experiences those drums the same way. may sound odd, but much the same can be said of drum and bugle core, DCI. go see BLAST if it comes around again. a broadway show based on the the very best of DCI performances. played for 2 years on broadway, winning best of type awards both years, then took it on the road.
when the entire horn line come to the front, and eventually settles one ondoubled chord at full volume your entire body becomes the sounding board for that chord and anyone in the front dozen or so seats in the orchestra section are rocked back in their seats with the force of the sound blast. the same can be said of the full drum line of a competition corps

First time I heard Taiko was during the Kauai marathon last year. I was beat up all over my body with pain shooting down my legs when I heard this beautiful sound out in the distance. My pace picked up as the sounds flowed through my body and gave me a boost through the pain and felt something beautiful inside. Something growing and flowing within as the vibes flowed through. Something beautiful. Thanks for that experience and that moment. It's something truly beautiful and much appreciation to the people keeping this art alive.
Came to learn more about traditional Japanese music for a song I'm working on. Stayed for an incredible and moving display of talent, simply through one giant instrument and a couple of very gifted individuals. Awesome stuff
The little touch I liked: When they finished they didn't bow to the audience. They just stopped. Stood up straight like: "Our work here is done." and strode off, alpha af.
Because the show is not end ^^ u can find the full show ^^
Yes.
It’s bc the show wasn’t over 😭
Harmony, discipline, power. True artists.

This is what I want to see in the 2020 Olympics.
You'll be seeing lots of anime and cosplay.
@@SlayPlenty Funny enough, Akira was set in 2020 and the location was at the Japanese Olympic Stadium. Coincidence, I Think NOT.
Sekiko Gaming agree
Danm right my friend.
@Darth Clumsy good call on the committee
J'avais visité une école au Japonet "vu ça" en 1976/77 lors d'un stage de Kendo. Puis il y a 35 ans, OnDe KoZa à l'espace Pierre Cardin de Paris. Après en octobre 2018, une représentations à eu lieu aux Matsuri dans le cadre des relations Franco-japonaises. J'attends avec impatience 2024 pour assister à la représentation de Kodõ à la Salle Pleyel. Domo arigato à tout ces artistes. ❤
the audience should be stilled from applause for at least 5 to ten seconds after end of drumming to hear the reverberations in silence in my opinion, silents punctuates and accentuates the power of the sound,. incredible kodo drummers are amazing
That's a good point. I hadn't even considered that from the perspective of the audience even though I appreciate it in music everywhere. Thank you for the idea; I'll be sure to take it with me. :-)
Scott Graber its just human nature to clap when people think its the end. I doubt we will ever get the silence you describe after a performance because someone somewhere in the crowd will start clapping and everyone will think its the end of performance and join in. Its a shame, really...
Scott Graber The audience in Japan is silent when the performers end their show. That is the greatest honour you can give to an artist.
Scott Graber just woahh so ahh epic
Benjamin Landgren It's only habit, I guess. I went to see them when they came to my country and the public was "gently encouraged", at the entrance of the theatre, to respect the final silence, so they did. Kodo live is one of the most powerful things I've experienced. If I were 16 I'd move to Sado Island today.
If the world ever goes to shit like in Mad Max, I want these guys playing for my war party
I think some day this moment will come...
Yes! Have an upvote!
And you need a guitarist too, don't forget this.
Give me a flamethrower guitar and I will be your guitarist.
World already gone shit the day we gained consciousness
Glorious! Strength, determination, training, talent and charisma. These men are warrior musicians.
Kathleen hola linda
yeaaaa
Watching this live is a whole different experience. My whole body vibrates for each beat of the drum and I was so moved that I couldn't look away
Japan's culture has a very powerful feel in it, especially in its music. When I hear it, I sense something powerful. Something strong. Something beautiful.
🇯🇵
Something profound
Try working for the cunts. Bunch of distrusting humourless sneaky bastards
Something powerful, strong, and beautiful.
@@samooskhka Hm..
@@h0rcrux774 Well that was very helpful, nice!
I saw one of this drummers in a summer festival. its beyod words, the feeling, the respect and devotion to the sacred imprinted forever in your soul. LOVE JAPANESE CULTURE
Chinese and Japanese cultures are the best I absolutely love it
They literally beat the paint off them drums
Jack Burton dam! I thought that was some kind of powder or something necessary for the drums, but it’s actually scrapped paint?! Badass.
@@bobsanders1774 well if it is it wouldntbe scratchedlike that y'know?
This is a very common thing for all drummers. After playing a new drumhead for even 1 hours of practice, you'll see scratch marks forming. They turn into big blobs of them, like for these performers, after dozens of hours.
@@theranger8668 God the pain of getting a new drumhead and seeing it scratch so fast... I know the feeling
@@doredam8919 Wouldn't you feel proud? Putting in enough work into your art that it shows on the instrument? I play cello and violin and I'll tell you that while seeing a frayed bow hurts (they are expensive as hell despite the size) it brings me pride knowing I played my soul out. Being rough or vigorous with your instrument to convey the song is a rather profound feeling. I think you understand it well though given you play drums?
I saw a junior Taiko show yesterday. The performers were so athletic and moved around the stage with military precision. It was absolutely amamzing,
I can imagine this being played during a large battle. Really boosts the spirit.
you should look into a show called Kamen Rider Hibiki. Its a TV series from Japan about superheroes fighting monsters with musical instruments. The main character uses Taiko drum mallets called Ongekibo to kill monsters.
Actually i think that they did it during imperial wars
"All hands: Brace for turbulence."
大太鼓の音が聴く者の原始的な本能に訴えかけるのを感じる。
打楽器は人類最古の楽器だからでしょうか。

This has a "lets ride into battle, do some beheading and die a resplendent death in the name of the shogun" mood about it..
If you notice the upload date in late March of 2011, and read the description with a message to those affected by the Earthquake and Tsunami, I think it was likely something to do with the March 11, 2011 Fukushima disaster. These drums have always fascinated me. And to learn they are made by a single piece of wood, some too large to ever move makes them all the more interesting.
I am also fascinated in the Bonsai tree artform. What is it with the Japanese and Trees? It's beautiful.
It’s a machist show but interesting. I saw a 10 female drummers group in Japan and they show joy and passion, it was awesome. They were powerful.
I went on a whim to the 2002 show at the Columbus Zoo. I had no idea what to expect as I had never heard them before. I was so amazed that I was stunned! The show was... amazing! I would love to see them again!
Great example of World Drumming from Japan. Thank you.

私は日本人ですが、どんなに幼い子が演奏していても、心が震えます。生演奏を聴いてイヤホンやヘッドホンでは伝わらない「響き」を感じて頂けると幸いです！！
How they keep in sync with each other and know when to change, etc is even more impressive to me than the drumming itself.
Khyber ikr? and honestly that burning passion, whoa,.
@@tet0889 true. If I could find something that I was that passionate about I would be happier.
watch carefully. there's one guy who shouts out codes for the team to change pattern, rhythm or whatever. of course practice makes them perfect.
@@yigeren55 amazing. Simply amazing.
Its practice and menorization
I saw/heard them in person years ago, & that performance is still with me. You can FEEL the drums reverberate through your entire body. Awesime!
Those symbols on their drums are the mitsudomoe, a traditional symbol closely associated with Hachiman, a Shinto kami of war. Hachiman is also associated with the number three and things that come in sets of three, which explains the mitsudomoe (the symbol with three commas) and the three odaiko players
The drum awakened his Sharingan :D
I saw Kodo perform in Little Tokyo, Los Angeles, for the 1984 Olympics Art Festival. An amazing performance. I was blown away by the entire show.

I've seen performances live twice now and it's such an amazing experience, both watching the drummers perform on stage and feeling the beat of the drums like a second heartbeat, there's nothing like it. And this performance in particular is so powerful, I absolutely love it! :)
Absolutely amazing, I’ve always enjoyed listening to this. I’m totally impressed by their strength and stamina

I experienced this type of drumming at the Sydney opera house, once. I've never forgotten it, you could feel the vibrations through your body.
I'm completely envious of the guy at 6:00, he's having an fucking insane dopamine release. These men go through something both incredibly stimulating and painful simultaneously, displaying the pure, primal nature of man. Fucking stunning, I can only imagine how good it feels to slam those drums.
FirstSon OFMAN LMAO
A simple neurose I slammed a drum as hard as I could once and I’m telling you it’s fucking rough specially because all the energy u put into one slam your arm bounces off and you gotta absorb the recoil to put in the next slam in order to get the right rhythm
It’s fucking insane and a good stress reliever :)
Is it normal to feel that you wanna fight to the death with this in the background? Holy shit this is amazing.
Fax
I feel like a Kamikaze
I heard these drums were used to inspire military troops to fight harder. Makes sense.
KUMATE
Yeah man those were typically used as war drums
Kodo, heartbeat drummers...So in sync even their hearts beat together...Kodo drummers came to Boston back in the 1980's they ran the Boston marathon before their performance that night.
Not only is this amazing to listen to, but the entire presentation makes you feel it even if you can't be there in person. I loved when they switched! 😁👏
Bravo, gentlemen! Excellent!

Wow!!! That was an impressive performance. The drums are big and beautiful. The men were strong, and wonderful to watch. The work and strength that it takes to go that long shows in the sweat and muscles that it takes to perform like this. Great job!!
THEIR ENERGY LEVELS.....IT'S OVER 9000!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stop it get some help
I have lived in Japan long time and I know what the plot of this drum music. The plot to fighting with your fears and weakness sides of your character. "You will win anyone and any live situation if you decide to win yourself"
Right on.
Love Japan Culture 💗
The Japanese are a good example for both developed and underdeveloped countries! they worked hard to get to this position, but too bad they are overdoing it ...
There is no country like Japan, love the simplicity, love the sophistication ❤️
And how DEEP their culture, history etc is gives you a lot of things to think on....
I know, it's so beautiful how so many are driven to suicide because of the relentless work ethic/slavery. It's just amazing, what a great people 😍😍😍😍

They are amazing!!!
Some people want a world without differences. I think is insane not to worship our amazing and beautiful differences. Every culture has its uniqueness and I think globalization will end up destroying them. Save the cultures from all around the world.
in my country.. Holland.. many of our cultural things dissapeared since we became a multi cultural country. we are a simple nation down to earth no nonsense basically. we had a candy with chocolate and some creamy mouse inside and a waffle at the bottom. we called it for ages negrokiss and no it's not ment as racism it's a compliment.. the candy is sweet and referred to a kiss of a African that in the old days been called as negros. we don't use that word for Africans anymore. it's meaning has been determined as racist but that candy still existed. till around 10 years or so ago.. Africans who came here as refugee or emigrated to here been complaining and the candy had to change its name.. now it's called kiss. it's a very old candy. same with our sint Nicholas celebration. it has a very old origin. it's about a holy man who was kind to children and had slaves but got them to set them free from slavery and he offered them a job with payment which they accepted. sint Nicholas was known as helping the poor especially poor kids. ever after his birthday been celebrated and the last centuries till now that happens with people who dress up as sint Nicholas and his freed slaves that had the names black Piet as a meeting with the kids after they came back to Holland from Spain, as the story tells he lives in Spain, to celebrate sint Nicholas birthday who give on his birthday presents to children who behaved well. Piet is a Dutch name. the other side of the story is that it weren't freed slaves but employee's who got black from climbing through the chimneys so the history about sint Nicholas and his black Piet's isn't very clear but in no way we mean it as racism. every year we do it for the kids like santa Claus in America. it's cute with a cute story line. but.. as we have African refugees and immigrants they complained for the people who dress them up as black Piet with their faces painted black or dark brown and it's on a political agenda now to change this event and forbid the painted faces and every year again there are conflicts from people who protest against this celebration for kids. this is nearly the last thing of our cultural history in celebrations and memberance. yes globalisation does damage cultural heritage.
@Jay Rober Africans paint their face white either.. should we make a issue about either to be equal? or is it one way traffic?
we don't want to change a hundreds years old tradition because some foreigners started to make a issue about it.. no nation would want that. be reasonable
@Jay Rober black piet isn't a clear noted history that we can speak facts no matter what you say. that history isn't noted down so it are all assumptions and nothing more. there are 2 possible story lines about black piet. piet is a very common name in Holland. a very dutch name. so it is logic it were just Dutch people who got black from climbing the chimneys to drop the presents for the children. the other story line is he possible freed slaves to hire them and pay them a salary. sint Nicholas.. saint Nicholas.. isn't nowhere related to dark deeds. he is a holy man with a very good reputation. in the history documentation that exist about saint Nicholas nothing is relateble to something negative and bad. good people do exist and saint Nicholas was one of them. the saint Nicholas celebration is very very old and holds no harm and is innocent. don't make issues from innocent things. only a darkened heart would do that. let the Dutch people have their traditions in peace or indeed stay away. we don't want negative minded people here who are blunt to change a hundreds and thousand year old tradition out of the 8th century.
This is so true, many people try to say that many countries don’t have culture because it is “stolen” which is ridiculous. Or make certain places change their meaningful symbols or names to certain objects/food just so they can make foreigners feel comfortable or fit the foreigner’s narrative. It’s destructive to these people see their culture attacked and changed for the benefit of people that don’t even belong there. That’s why I’m not surprised or even bothered at the fact that many people just want to stick with their own people, all because outsiders keep changing what’s dear to them. Globalization really did damage many cultures and it isn’t going to stop.
Jay Rober you act like one of those bitches who leave a bad review because their steak was over cooked and say “I’ll never visit this place again, they lost money.” lol people visit the Netherlands all the time, hell even immigrants go there if it was such a racist horrible place, why flee there in the first place? As an immigrant i would never complain or change a culture that welcomed me, if they all love to preach and tell people to learn their culture then they should do the same and learn the culture they live in and not change it. Especially people who never been there in the first place and then go and say “I’ll never visit your place.” Good because they don’t want you there either. Fuck off entitled brat.
Speechless. This is probably one of the greatest and powerful video I have ever watched. Thank you Japan :)
This can make any crazy person sane again... SPIRIT!!! P.S. before anyone else takes this comment in the wrong way - i never meant this as a joke on people with mental health issues as im fully aware we all go thru so much painful stuff in life - thats why i said what i said. This video is healing - i've been thru a very long long dark night of the soul and this type of stuff gives me strength and inspiration. God bless ya'll.

Japanese drums are an amazing experience. I saw a visiting group in Melbourne ar Daimaru, when it was still there and it completely blew me away. The rhythms, the power. The Drums were massive and and the drummer stood inside the drum to play it. The men were dwarfed by the instruments. But it wasn' t all men. A very talented female dancer in a plain stormy dark blue leotard with fluoro lightning streaks on her costume did this spectacular thunder and lightning dance to the great drumming rhythms, no other accompaniments. If I recall, I think it was winter, with the usual grey, miserable Melbourne wet stormy weather. This show was perfect for the place and time and people were really getting it, totally blown away by the performance. A bit of real artistry.
I saw a Japanese drummer group similar to this at the Missouri botanical Garden when I was a kid...Whole different experience when you’re actually there and feeling the reverberation of those drums. It made an impression.
6:02 * DRUMMING INTENSIFIES *
happens to us gentlemen david
David thsts why its called banging....
sorry i had to
Hadn't seen a Japanese guy with such wide open eyes before
ROFL
The raw energy of the Performance is amazing! Well Done!
I would hit the drum and then frantically search for the stick when it flew away after 1 hit. Hahahahahaha
their stamina is totally infinite

+Yan Shen 8 min is infinite? Hmmmmmmmmmmm.
+Earthling THX-1138-4EB Looking at the huge heavy sticks, i personally think this way .Im a chinese percussionist tho
the concert is of more than an hour
Eight minutes of very strong pounding of drums ... I am very, very impressed!
This gave me the chills. Heavier than the drums of any westernized metal band and it's traditional Japanese taiko drums. Brilliant and awesome.
I suggest Norway’s “Emperor”.
No wonder they're often topless during this performance, look at how much they've sweated. Such power. They were banging those drums like they intended to slay it.
Had the privilege to attend one of their concerts in FL, amazing in person. The music resonates your soul!
Seeing this live just gets you hyped, you ready to run into battle after hearing it.
yea, need something like this to handle the depression of trolls n griefers in league of legends
That's why the Japanese used to be great warriors
grew up watching Taiko performances in the Buhhdist temples. the sound has been muted in this video??
Taiko drums this big ARE REALLY REALLY LOUD! really impressive. you will FEEL them coming up through your feet
This is ART in its maximum expression. Loved it!
And now you know why their god of Storms is pictured with a bunch of Taiko Drums.

This is all art forms combined into one.
Music, visual and story.
Saw Kodo twice. The drums make the walls and floor shake. Your whole body vibrates.
Had same experience watching neighbor start his Hayabusa. Those Japanese...
I can't help think about Musashi Miyamoto when seeing this. It will obviously provokes a fighting spirit. But even in the preformers, they themselves are certainly warrior like. The pure calmness they had once finished but the ferocity when in action. They def know something about "the way" of the drummer
I love this it is like a storm with whirling winds, rain, and pounding thunder. ♡♡♡
The best recording of the deep drum sound that I have heard was on a Fourplay album. The song was called Chant. In the intro of that song if your listening to it on earbuds or out loud you feel it. They captured it the best in a recording.
