Taiko...


UK professional taiko group

Saw these at Loughborough University...

And Kodo,
I think I was about the second row from the front and they were just INCREDIBLE



I still regret even now that I didn't take enough money to buy a dvd... :(



Believe it or not, this is me playing a Taiko.
At the height of my japanese-obsessed-much phase in 2005, I travelled to Glasgow just for 2 days of playing on one o these beauties, and boy, it was worth it.
I still want to buy one, but lack of sound-proofed space (and cash) have so far restricted me.
One day taiko taiko, one day...

[Also, on an unrelated note, it's hard to believe I ever
 had hair long enough to put up in a pony tail!]

It is an awesome thing to watch and if there's any of the groups playing near you anytime, GO SEE THEM!
