Taiko drumming is a Japanese style of drumming that combines music, movement, and teamwork. It is played on large drums using wooden sticks, with simple rhythms that are easy to learn and exciting to play. You do not need any musical background to get started.
One of the most welcoming things about taiko is that it uses your whole body. Drummers stand strong, move with intention, and play together as a group. The focus is not just on hitting the drum, but on timing, posture, and listening to one another.
Taiko has deep roots in Japanese festivals and celebrations, but today it is enjoyed by people of all ages and experience levels around the world. It is energetic, social, and fun, offering a great workout while building confidence and connection.
Whether you are trying something new, looking for a creative outlet, or simply want to make some joyful noise, taiko drumming is an inviting and powerful way to begin.
