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!
i believe Taiko would help karate and vice versa
@@TrueBagPipeRockinteresting take
All my Facebook friends are playing this to their dogs tonight, to help disguise the firework sounds.
I have some serious respect for these guys. It took me long enough to learn Buchiawasi Daiko! I'd never be able to pull something like this with my own group 😅
This reminds me a bit of a piece called Tanoshi that I've played quite a bit :)
This is beautiful music, and expression of enthusiam. Of dancing and enjoyment of the performance.
Just came here after watching Fertility of the sea... this seems... kinda soft.
this looks so fun
How it feels when you play the war drums in ark
so groovy and synchronised ! great prerformance to enjoy !
So cool to see this, after seeing these guys live and getting a workshop from the AMAZING Oliver Kirby
カッコいい！
The rhythms man!Damn!
At least they're having fun. That makes me happy.
that was amazing!
I came here to see what to expect for Haikyu's cheering squad.. Hehe..
SAME ERJFHDNQJWAIkosl
it is safe to expect more
hahahhaha, well didn't expect that, but that's what I've found
I am a quiet touch of silk.
I’d love to learn the bell part
Go for it; it's an incredibly simple part.
You could literally learn it on your first percussion lesson.
Ｉ am happy to see them enjoying my culture 😊💕💕
Same here
I'm happy you're not screeching "my culture is not your prom dress!" like a hysteric woman. Culture doesn't _belong_ to anyone, it only originates there. Anyone can share and appreciate other cultures.

@@_Green_Onions_ Why do you have to choose?
@@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.
You remind me of the Ottawa Taka Ko back way in past...thank you for this..
Wow man it's energetic

Hi mates
Taiko can be useful in the sword arts as well as a beautiful dance
Taiko West version with all smiles. Not bad, but I'm not too impressed.
same
Yeah, it's just very uninteresting in terms of rhythm
Exactly this is what I feel. They got the technique but not the spirit.
I never thought I'd say this: but this performance just feels so...
...white.
lol...
Haha.
影武者太鼓、頑張れ！ (^O^)

Slow, but passionate
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.
Que del puctas bien !!!....
Wow here before they cancel for cultural appropriation
Where are the buff japanese guys?
I say, if people like the watered down version they might take the time to see what the real thing looks like.
やっぱり外人がやるとちょっと違うな。
Japanese people made progressive rock before rock (or prog) was innvented. x)
**edit**
At least they make it sound like that.. xD
Lublob
Not as powerful... didn't feel the vibe, mr.wo does not approve.
I know right?
Like, it's speaking the language, but it just doesn't have the accent.
And why are they laughing and grinning
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!
play osu
would be better if they wore the pointy hats
Pssssshh looks easy
Look at all the white people lol jk this was amazing good job guys
This is like Blueman Groug with real instruments... So not as good.
all im thinking throughout the video is why are they all white caucasion?
charles bergman have you wondered if the master who taught them might be Japanese?
Or you know you can learn an instrument without having to be from one special ethnicity? You're gonna blame a japanese person who plays clavichord that he is not causasian enough?
It's like watching a white girl dressed as a geisha , the Kimono might be exquisite , the makeup flawless , the wig perfect and yet somehow it just doesn't seem quite right .
I am all about cultural appropriation , but one should draw inspiration from another culture , not try to mimic it perfectly , because nothing looks more fake than imitation .

That's outrageous, these people have the same right to celebrate Japanese culture as anyone else.
The best part is the fact they are Devon-based Kagemusha Taiko have toured in Japan as well as playing significant concerts in Europe and the USA, where they represented European taiko at the first World Taiko Concert in Los Angeles.
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.
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.
Then close your eyes and just listen because they're doing a fantastic job.
Smiling while playing an instrument is very natural. Bands do it all the time. It just isn’t fitting for war drums.
How is this not cultural appropriation?
Grow up and appreciate the art. Seriously. Your kind is a plague.
I don’t really want to see non Japanese do this.

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.
Somehow I feel you got the technique but not the spirit. They play the taiko with reference, while in this show I just feel it is just an art performance without spiritual feeling. Just my two cents.
This really feels like the result of a workshop where people play drums to form community, rather than musicians playing a piece of music
This motivates me every time I see it
Hey I remember them I went to a feaild trip to see them play
Feaild huh
Hope it was fun.
Impressive and powerful performance
This makes drumming like a team sport! Cool
Um WOW!!!!!!!
This woke my cats up.
.
That was fun to watch, they str8 up were just having pure fun
Damn they got a full combo
Fantastic.
