Dynamic drummers and exciting to watch. Once again, your camera captures Immediacy. The drummers move gracefully, like dancers, balletic in their playing, their ritualistic walking, their stage presence. And there's that sense of playful seriousness. A delightful video.

Every year the temple puts on a block party for the neighborhood. It's the same corner where the Japanese of the area had to report to be sent to internment camps in WW2. I guess many of them made it back, I'm glad to say.
