- 🚶♂️One of our local drumming groups performing in downtown Shizuoka city, Japan. This particular group includes many school age kids. Drums are called taiko in Japan where drumming has a long tradition within the spheres of entertainment, religion and warfare. The Japanese have produced several distinct drum styles of various sizes, most of which are played with a stick (though hand drums are also used). Traditional drummers may perform alone or in the company of wind and string musicians. Ensemble style taiko performances called kumi-daiko (as seen in this video) are a relatively recent development in the world of Japanese drumming and a style which has gained the attention of many outside Japan. Kumi-daiko performances are typically very impressive with numerous drummers beating out distinct rhythms on various sized taiko. The drummers can produce deep, resonant tones which carry for long distances and produce an unforgettable and almost visceral experience in the hearer. Taiko drum heads are made of cowhide dried and tightly stretched before being attached to the drum by iron nails (byou-uchi daiko style) or sewn onto iron rings (tsukushime-daiko style). Drum heads may be used for several years before needing to be re-stretched, though the cowhide is normally discarded after one or two stretches. Most Japanese drums are formed from the limb or even the trunk of the Japanese Elm (keyaki) tree while other types of wood are also sometimes used. Especially large drums may have been made from ancient trees (up to 1200 years old!) which are thought to imbibe the drum with a spiritual significance and presence.

Takio: the martial art of drumming.
I think I'm responsible for at least 1000 views of this video. I never missed a taiko event if I could get to it.
I miss Japan. Which is strange when you consider I arrived in Japan full of stereotypes and left three years later with tears, as if I was leaving my home.
Travel is the best education!
Thanks for posting this video!!!
I love how the third guy from the right controls his sticks when striking then lifting them rythmically over his head following the very same path at each time, as if his life depended on the precision of the movement. (The feeling of control coming from the fact that he doesn't shake his body left and right entrances me so much!!)
The second girl from the right has some kind of stong energy coming from each of her strikes while she uses the rebound to hit back... Those two are amazing me!
Thank you =SO= much for posting this, I can't tell you how much I appreciate it. I am an enormous fan of traditional Japanese music and dance- the shamisen, koto, ect- but it's not often one finds such a lovely drum performance by the kids. I think this is my favorite so far, it's absolutely beautiful! ~Kat
We did Taiko drumming at my primary school, it always received the most attention and praise whenever we did mixed school talent shows or mixed performances at events. I always felt special that I was lucky enough to be in the sixth form Taiko group, very glad I passed the audition. Hearing it in person, let alone playing it, is so much better than seeing it on video.
If you're someone who plays the drums, definitely give Taiko a good - join a troupe or something maybe, best thing since sliced
I love how not only are they playing, but they also have a routine that goes with it as well. How awesome is that?
I joined the St. Louis Taiko group today for lessons...For only 2 hours of practice on a sunday afternoon and im 100% hooked
In Vladivostok, on New Years, I'd get my whole family to do a festival and play Taiko Drums. I also sometimes play Taiko to annoy my neighbor, Vlad
These kids are really good. Thanks Kurt for sharing. I have enjoyed many of your videos. Keep up the good work......Doug
Amazing... simply amazing
cheers from all the japanese-brazilian community!
Nice performance! Thanks for enriching my culture.
Wow, they're really good! I hope someday I can travel to Japan and see a performance like this!
there's just something about drums that gets into the hearts of everyone.
Staioned on Okinawa for three years. Oh how I miss Japan!!
Thanks as always for doing this.
that was excellent! thanks for posting.
かっこいいです。感動！鳥肌が立ちました。
You realize that this is the dependance of the Samurai right? Put a short sword in any of their hands and you'll see a master martial artist. This is beautiful. Japan has basically mastered the human body and the different ways of honing it.
Assisti recentemente uma apresentação de Taiko e fiquei verdadeiramente encantada! O postante do vídeo tem razão quando diz que o toque do taiko nos soa vísceral. É lindo!
looks like they're doing horse stance and forward stance while they play, really cool
Wow they have perfect timing! I love it! I know in Japantown in San Francisco they have a Taiko dojo as the sign on the door called it. They were gearing up for the Sakura (cherry blossom) festival
I love watching this kind of stuff
Just google seattle taiko. The west coast is where american taiko originated, so there are lots of dojos in california and washington. I felt the same way as you: taiko is amazing, but I couldn't play it.... but, you can! most taiko dojos are filled with friendly, inviting people and they usually have beginning level classes. Just try it out, you'll love it!
@sisi0cat0chan I've been listening to Joji Hirota ("Japanese Taiko") and Kodo ("Best of"). Awesome stuff!
Incredible video, thank you for sharing it.
Incredible.
Literally makes you feel like you're preparing for war.
Absolutly brillant.Thank you for posting.
These people came to my school! they were awesome.
Just an awesome performance!!!
Totally, totally, totally awesome!
when you see this in real life it is amazing!
Powerful performance!
Let me introduce a local drumming group in Shin-Matsudo, Chiba Pref., Japan.
See Video responce.
I have been looking for taiko drum lessons in my area, but none so far :'( I really want to find one. Or at least a Samgo-mu class D: wwwaaahhhhh I love the sound so much!!
what a great version of miyake!!
someone asked them to 'give a big wave'...and they go do this...well its wavey.
I'm pretty sure it's a variation of a piece called Miyake.
To live on Japan would be a delight for me!
Cheers! :-D
Wonderful sound.
Hey Softypapa, ^_^ True, but over here we don't have that pretty pitch in voice :P
I've always thought that these drums are amazing, and a few times I've seen them in person...what does it take to learn to play them? I'd really like to do that...they connect to something deep inside me.
Japan and everything Japanese rules!!!!
2018 aaaand I´m still watching this :-)
Another one of the many things I've always wanted to do in Japan, but still haven't gotten around to it :/
Domo for drums .Takashi's mom out the hospital so he may have some free time soon
Great performace! I do have to say though that the beginning reminds me of Bongo Bongo from Zelda ;p
Amazing!
my godbro does taiko and is pretty good at it. i wanna learn one day!
At 0:40 their rythm somehow reminds me of the meeting with Bongo Bongo from Zelda Ocarina of Time xd
How is it, to live on Japan? It's one of my dreams to go there at least once.
@softypapa hehe so true :D Might I ask you what they all have in their mouth? It looks like they have some jaw piece or something in there or is it just me that notices it?
uwa~, the announcer has such a beautiful voice, doesnt she? o__O
@blade22ify ? I play the our taiko drums three times a week and never pop my ears? Maybe cuz I'm so used to it!
Why are all the guys doing the smaller drums and girls doing the big drums?
2022!

@SangosEvilTwin check out my website at seattletaiko.info - I have performances listed there, and info about which groups have classes. There is a performance tomorrow morning (July 11, 2010) in the International District at the summer festival.

where can i buy that big/huge drum coz i want one
Don't think the neighbours would appreciate it though :D
I don't think it's fair or even relevant to compare the two styles.
But can you imagine walking onto the football field with these drums of war echoing throughout the stadium?! ... I'm sure the visiting team would shiit themselves.
do-eta shimashite

*say a few words then ends up goin "pffffttt"* =P
Discipline...Justified!
It seems good for a fight.
thad woman sounds like an anime voice actres XD and i like this video thx learned more from japan :D
