Program Notes

Hoo-Daiko was inspired by traditional Japanese taiko drumming and is based on typical rhythm patterns found in the matsuri (folk festivals), in which taiko plays a prominent role.

Taiko drummers utilize many techniques that contribute to their powerful sound and also provide an impressive visual element of choreographed movement. For examples of this traditional style of playing, see a performance by Japanese taiko masters, Kodo; or New York-based taiko ensemble, Soh Daiko. We have a Kansas City taiko ensemble that you can go listen to or even play in if you are interested. It is called Three Trails Taiko.
