Japanese Taiko Drums - Pro Series (4/9)

A pretty intense abdominal workout for these guys... Sitting on the floor, gripping the drum between your legs and then pivotting your entire torso up and down while striking the drum... forget Billy's bootcamp - this is the real exercise routine for abs.

This is so badass. I can't imagine how theraputic that must be for the drummers of that tradition. I could get lost in that world and never come out.

People always tend to watch the bigger drums (Nagado) being played but the 2 at the back playing the shime and not skipping a single beat for so long is quite a feat in itself. My arms hurts just watching them too :-)

Ondekoza playing Yatai-bayashi, traditional piece played during Chichibu festival.

[@mimig365]

Fabulous! My world reclaimed. Thanx for sharing.

The piece here is called Yatai-bayashi (as performed by Kodo, I think?), and is definitely one of the more intense taiko pieces just on the basis of stamina needed.

Oh, is this Ondekoza in the video? Ondekoza did this arrangement for stage performance from the folk piece, I just don't know if that it is them (or Kodo) who appear in this video.

The group in this video is Ondekoza.
Kodo and Ondekoza have the same origin but they split at the end of the 70's.

Pure muscles! :O And I admire her for being able to play like she does in a kimono. :) She can't move like the guys do.
