Kagemusha Taiko have toured Japan and represented European taiko at the first World Taiko Concert in Los Angeles. This energetic performance will show you why the Devon-based drummers are so highly rated.

Just as many Japanese in the west teach Karate to their students, so the art of Taiko drumming has spread across the world, even to drums as therapy, bringing peace and joy to many suffering from problems of our modern lifestyle! When you love drums and percussion, it does indeed bring joy to the heart!

@@LoneWolf-lk3gt It's incredibly entitled to take something from someone else's culture and use or change it without being respectful, regardless of your belief about culture 'belonging' to anyone. The reason this isn't appropriation is that Taiko groups like this one are celebrating Japanese culture, often alongside Japanese people. Not only that there are a number of Japanese taiko drummers who travel to give seminars/lessons to groups like this one. I'd hazard a guess they've had guests teaching them technique, and even hosted visitors who came to their country to perform.

It's slow because this is a variation of a taiko exercise known as "Yodan Uchi" or Strike On Four Sides. It's not an actual song. It's used as a warm-up, especially for beginners who are learning footwork.

@transsnekkboi2585 4 жыл бұрын

I assume because they are doing what they enjoy. I myself is part of a small group Gomibako Daiko with my school and we all do similar. A big part of taiko is shouting and it's to encourage the other players to keep their spirit up. Especially for the ones who play the entire way through. It's a very energetic thing and it's simply for encouragement. Well at least in my group it is, hope this helped!

They're not bad but the cheesy smiles ruin it for me and gives a sort of cringey fake commercial sorta vibe to the whole thing. It's a real american thing to do, smiling during instrument playing - it's not natural.

@lailanityler2380 5 жыл бұрын

Did you ever stop to consider that they just really enjoyed what they were playing and were having fun? Having no other outlet to express that other than smiling? It might also help ease tensions on stage, if people around you are performing while smiling, just having a good time, it can really help you relax and just do your thing. Last I checked, smiling was a perfectly natural way to express joy and all that. Saying it’s unnatural to smile when you’re doing something that brings you joy, I’m sorry but I’m going to be inclined to disagree with you there. Now, if the smiles are indeed fake and they’re just putting them on for show, then yeah. I can agree that they should just let themselves relax. But I don’t see them faking it here. I’m seeing it as they’re just a group of friends performing and having fun while playing instruments. So it’s perfectly natural to smile in that case. I know that I was smiling a lot while first learning to play taiko, because it made me happy. So, again. I fail to see how that’s a bad thing.

That's ridiculous. Take any Asian symphony orchestra, for example. Primarily non-European members, performing on traditional western instruments and entirely western classic repertoire? Does this seem weird to you? There is literally no reason anyone of a different culture shouldn't be able to practice any art form. If done respectfully and accurately, absolutely nothing is lost, and culture is preserved.
