    About International Participants

    JAPAN: Taiko is an ancient Japanese form of percussion, using large drums. The drums range in size from roughly a snare drum ("shime"), to drums as large as a car (the "o-daiko"). One of Taiko's most defining aspects is its dynamic playing style. Taiko playing is loud, hard, and fast, and involves a lot of choreographed movement which many identify with Japanese martial arts. Since their founding in 1999, the group has only improved with each performance. The members strive to work together and challenge themselves musically to improve their expressiveness on stage.
