In addition to playing Western drums, I'm a member of Watsonville Taiko (http://www.watsonvilletaiko.org). We recently did a music video. I'm the guy in the middle.

that was freakin great. i love taiko drumming. i was lucky enough to do some while i was in japan for a short while.

That was really great. What a beautiful art, I've never had a chance to see taiko drumming before. I'm definitely interested now.

Very nice work!

[Drummer Karl]

Beautiful! I find that so inspiring, traditional music, yet it is very musical and many styles were influenced by it.
Just got a myspace friend request from such an Asian guy who plays Taiko...love it.

Nice work man!

Thanks everyone for the nice comments. If you can find a Taiko group in your area, I highly recommed checking it out. Taiko needs more players with a drumming background. For you, you'll get a new perspective on percussion/drumming.

That was interesting. Very cool!

I think this kind of control must be taught first. Dinamic control is almost everything in drumming and percussion.

I like also the scenical thing, all guys and ladies in sync, very theartical.
