Welsh drums are know for fast tripple hits. Would be much better if they played the melody in a proper way those drums are played. More like welsh guards v. taiko drummers.

I suppose they practiced before this so neither would be surprised and lose “face”.

This is more of a collaboration between those two countries instead of an actual battle of the drums.

And? ,🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Your point?

@@peterderiemer3854 He was wasting his time by trying to educate you. Maybe you should stick to the Peppa Pig or Sesame Street posts in the future.

They're not different traditions. The Taiko drummers are working in their style, but in a drum challenge rooted in Welsh Celtic follow-the leader tradition. That's the middle of three, the final one being a merge of styles.

The marching drum was first discovered in the ottoman, which originally wore leather evolved into what it is today

@@yumiyuki5851 If by marching drum you mean war drum, then I assure you they are far older than the Ottomans.

@@wolfgangkolber381 The bass drum.

modern style taiko playing actually has its roots in drums used in religious services/celebrations and in the arts such as theater and less so to do with war and war drums

@@galaxykidM5 The same can be said for the snare drum as well.

Ikr they don't even sing like what.

Nope, try this ....kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ldaVadVhm6utqmQ.html Royal Marin drum corps vs Secret Drum Corps Probably/arguably the best two drum corps in the world.

@@markhorton8578 Honestly, it goes to personal taste in my opinion who is the best. While both of those corps are clearly extremely skilled, I find kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kMeXpq-js-DLY30.html much more impressive both visually and in sound, even though that is from a college group. But it totally is my preference as I've always felt that marching percussion instruments sound kind of bland. And I'm by no means someone who has enough knowledge and experience to go rating different drummers, especially when they use completely different types of drum.

that is an understatement

@@TheTeresu Thanks. That was very good, and i enjoyed that. Many years ago I saw an huge English band called She-Boom (long before the internet and youtube.) which was also all female and more vital, with many huge kettle drums and many other types. I think you are comparing apples with oranges. Static bands have a very different sound, the ones favoured in the west are often too focused on sheer power and seem to have a surprisingly limited range of sound and repertoire, but maybe that is just me. Military and marching bands are no better, but provide a very different styles of music and a wider repertoire of things played. The variation of drum styles, including drum speeds which seem to defy explanation as how it can be done are standard, making pounding a big drum in a group of big drums, a high effort but relatively low skill activity.

Nasty

i wish people would learn the difference between THEN and THAN. This suggests they used guns after the drums.

@@jtbethel That's what I tought Or maybe they did shoot at each other after.

K I 9

ALWAYS

LOL

what an absoute twat.

Last street performance I saw on here had a Granny with an Elmo doll getting around on a mobility scooter. At first she was far away and then she was up close. Felt very Sesame Street to me but the drumline was very good.

He was the official photographer doing his JOB. Wombats.

Saw them in Blackpool in UK in early 90's, like you I found them awesome, I felt the beat in evry nerve!

Jon Fox Were the Welsh Guards with them? They were not at the Ordway; that’s a concert I’d love to experience!

Agreed

England is not an island however Britain is, these are the Welsh Guards they are not from England they are from Wales.

You're some what right, and abit ignorant to lol, Taiko drums where used for battle, too and also communication between villages. They where also used in battlefields, to Intimidate enemys, and inspire troops main purpose, to intimidate. Dont know if youve seen, where two daimyōs(Lords), send their best Retainers(Samurai Generals in training), to fight the enemy best Retainer. Taiko drums where used by both sides while this took place. altho Its still somewhat unclear the purpose of this duels,Daimyō's would still engage in battle after their reteiners, Lose or win the duel. So... yeah "pure Ignorance" huh?

Hi in Northern Ireland we have the Lambeg drums played with canes worth watching on KZfaq

No partisan stuff. This is what we (humans) could do. This is a sounding to the universe. Each (and all) unit is so disciplined and co-ordinated, and calls up high emotions. I don't know how to put it. These are the ones to put us out and about to the galaxy. It is a wide vacuum beyond our atmosphere. If (and we will or perish) we can combine/complement each other/person/government/civilization/drum and bugle corp (jokeA), this is our clarion call to survival. And if not, these ladies and gentlemen ROCK@!!@!!

Taiko drums were used in battle. I dunno who tf liked your comment except more dumbfucks like yourself. Also you'd think it'd be obvious they were used on the field by just the style of music taiko drummers perform.

Taiko are universally battle drums in Asian cultures from China, Japan down to Thailand and Malay states. Thais call them literally 'battle drums'. They are signal instruments and does build morale.

Lol no

えっ、中国じゃなくて和太鼓だから日本では？違うかも

Matt Last my thought exactly! Imagine if we could resolve our differences with music.

@@TheMikeHoltShow lmao i just imagine one side with drums imitating artillery fire and whistles it with flutes

@ Nick ... I think I'd feel more confident behind the Taiko Crew if the sheer volume was going to matter ! But hey, what a great show from both sides :-)

yeah but that's not what they're for so

@@JAWZxz Ok, but still...!😈

Minorities will totally lose then.

I wish there was a Shinto influence in Britain instead of an Islam one. That would be cool.

Corgipon Great! You want another religion about incest. F*cking weeb.
