spectacle that had audience’s hearts beating as loud as their drums.
Prior to their concert, the
internationally-acclaimed group—composed of 45 performing members and 16

While it has long been a part of
Japan’s culture where it is used during rituals, festivals and traditional
performing arts, the art of playing “Wadaiko” or Japanese drums still continues
to evolve.

Now, the group beats the drum for
Japanese culture with their own modern twist as they reinvent their shows each
year with new and exciting routines and production elements.
This
year’s routine was Drum Tao - Samurai Drum Rock, a contemporary production
inspired by traditional Japanese warriors with intricate costumes designed by
fashion designer Junko Koshino. Drum Tao also added circus elements to their performances
with aerial stunts and elaborate props.
