- Come to our special event and hear the “Big Drum” performance!
- Taiko (太鼓, literally “big drum”) is a type of Japanese percussion played for over 1,000 years.
- Traditionally, taiko were used in religious ceremonies, festivals, and as theatrical accompaniment.
- Kumi-daiko, or ensemble drumming, was created in the 1950s.
- In kumi-daiko, many drummers play different-sized drums to create complex rhythms and stylized performances.
- As a form of rhythmic and artistic expression, taiko allows individuals to convey emotion and energy and to connect with others through music.
