Japanese Taiko Drums - Pro Series (1/9) 

Taiko performances are not only exquisite audio experiences but also an exceptional visual treat. For me it encompasses all values of Japan. Dedication, precision, discipline and respect. A must see live experience!

I still remember that I was forced to play in the school group when I was a kid I am 58 now, the teacher was a very crazy man all he did was to insult us, i was never insulted in my life like that ever again. He used the worst words, but people said he is a honorful teacher so nobody said anything. Now I am a 58 year old japanese businessman, and I can't forget him. I forgot how to play the drums probably but not how to insult others.

I love that one guy playing the triangle in a power stance.

This music is addicting! I love how it gets your blood pumping yet is tranquil and soothing at the same time.

This is legitimately a Japanese jam session. They're feelin' it.

the dude with the pretzels on 4 drums is killing it

I've been to several of these while station in Japan and nothing can compare to the power and beauty of hearing a live performance.

The most motivating war drums ever

It's so nice to see her play and at 5:25 when she starts smiling and you can tell she's having the time of her life... Awesome video

The energy in this piece is astoundingly beautiful. I love it!

Japan's cultural heritage is very beautifully powerful and mesmerizing. So much so, that many years ago, it has come to be one of my most favorite nations and cultures on Earth. My love for Japan has grown stronger to this day. One day, I shall travel to this amazing country and experience the beautiful culture with my own eyes. Love from the United States. 🇯🇵🇺🇸

Dude at 10:20 beating that drum like it brought home a report card with straight Fs 🤣😂🤣😂

So much passion.I love the way they move, so symmetrically and synchronously.Perfect rhythm and this magic flute.

It is not only a question of strength in your arms. It is also a question of the way you move for beating the drum(s).

I. Love. This. First of all, the instruments are works of art and then the performances of each drummer is wonderful to watch. My favorite is the woman because she looked like she was having fun, her style (way of drumming ) is beautiful to watch and she made it look effortless.

One of the best music performances I ever seen, absolutely spectacular.

Disappointed the curtain didn't draw back to reveal an ō-daiko as big as a house being attacked by some wiry dude in a fundoshi wielding a pair of tree trunks.

800 year old Japanese Hardstyle Techno FTW!

Thanx. It helped me concentrate to my exams.

That dude in the back is like a flute ninja...😋

I tried listening to this while studying kanji, but the sheer passion for making music kept pulling my eyes away.

I saw this from school, so i searched it up. I really like this!

Their co-ordination is beyond any belief ... and unlike an orchestra they don't have a conductor and a script, everything is in their mind, just incomprehensible ...

Murdering of Taiko drums taken in a serious fashion at 10:20

It was truly INCREDIBLE to see them perform LIVE in concert !

Hearing this music makes me wanna wish to play Shogun: Total War again.

コロナを吹き飛ばす和太鼓の迫力で元気を貰いました🙆🙆

> Ashmiester1 The name of the performing group is "ONDEKOZA".

7:44 Pfff betcha you can't go faster than that. 9:54 Hold my beer. 12:30 No, hold /my/ beer. 13:08 Y'know what, just hold both our beers.

Some of these drummers almost look like their dancing, with the precision they have in their movements beautiful

its the 3rd quater of 2018 and im still fascinated by these people playing traditional music. awesome and inspiring.

I always say it's not as exciting as actually being there. Witnessing a live performance gives you the full effect!

Love the Taiko performances not only do they have to have stamina but must also master the intricacies of their own drum and then blend that beat within the beat of their fellow performers

saw this for the first time and I'm hooked

The most intimidating war drums EVER

Remind me of the Summer festivals in Japan. I miss that Taiko vibration, the lights, the noise, we kids following the Mikoshi. Thank you for posting this.

Taiko drummer are sick, when they all play together it sounds like one whole drum, I could listen to it all day

thats why I love japanese culture

The subtle sounds that you can barely hear are there working as the loudest ones. This is why this music is among the best ever percussions ever made.

master class of Taiko I bow before you

Love these guys,the flutes drive my spirit. If thier I could not stop myself from joining in!

Wow wish i can see this live

12:00 Bless you!

Fantastic. How can such energetic drumming be so calming?

02:50 !!! Goosebumps ! This is extremely good for Meditation AND for a combat mood ! :D

10:20 when you’re camping and bugs start landing on you

makes you realize exactly why they played these before going into battle

AMAZING! 20 years more skillful and not one step slower than whenever I saw them live back in 1993 - - - videos from their USA tour outdoors concert at the April 1993 Festival International de Louisiane (Lafayette, LA) in a playlist on my page.

damn, imagine if they put some carpets on the drums as well. they could make nice beats and have clean rugs.

Love this

This would literally be my all time dreams of playing taiko drums on a level of spirituality and love for drumming. I would say this has to be an awesome drum session lol. :D

１９７２年、DEN TAGAYASU さんの太鼓で 直に、脱け殻になった私に新たに魂を打ち込んでくれた。今でも確りともちつずけてる、です🤚

Excellent performance.

mesmerising

Beautiful

As a lover of jazz and classical music(mainly the slower parts) I love this! I guess it's an "another me"!

MAGNIFIQUE !!!!!!

For anyone wondering, the flexible things the two people are using are futon beaters.

My mom whooping my ass, knowing I can't do shit about it: 5:18

Hipnótico. Majestuoso. Artístico en todos sus aspectos.
