Kyodo Taiko - Encore Remix

[manthasagittarius]

It's great! They're all so young -- what power they have already.

[superchik543]

I'm pretty sure i watched this same video in school (:

[Lettinjsh]

synhro ssss... " .. amazing .. laete micos, but somegow i found this  to be amazing too :)

[chrisdurston]

I've seen a lot of taiko, but that was INCREDIBLE. I mean, I got a better feeling from that than I have from seeing some live acts, and that's pretty darn impressive.

[ownerfate]

this is so Freakin awesome. i dont really mind the cheering in the Background it adds to this a lot for me i would love to play one of those one day.

[TheEdward4ever]

i loved when they did this for my high school a couple years back. so awesome!

[BUNNygoesRAwR1]

I love the beat from 2:04 - 2:21

[Wildboring]

so much fun energy and skill. high quality audio recording too makes this a great video

[DanielFreemanSpeaks]

Brilliant work! So inspiring..Keep it up you guys.

[Rocco78781]

I loved this!!!!  Hope to see it live someday.

[WinginSue]

Oh man.. I could watch these guys all day!

[wallacexteam]

YEAH THIS IS SOO AMAZING XDDDDD very GOOD

[90skid89]

Just last weekend I saw a Taiko drum performance at the Spurlock Museum on our universities campus in Champaign Urbana. The drummers were good and the songs they performed were very intense I enjoyed it very much; I can't help but see however that this group seems to have more energy to their performance.

[TheAaron1924]

absolute showmanship wt passion...xo tomo arigato for posting....

[FutureRetro2010]

very well done 

[87hiroshi]

amanzing! 

[nelson0381]

Just yesterday i had the great pleasure to work with this amazing group of people at the Northwest Auditorium at UCLA and there is only one word to describe this group. FANTASTIC.

[Taattte]

Taiko is probably the most badass thing there ever was.

[MelanieSommers]

Amazing! Wish the people cheering would shutup LOL!

[fordmodelt2001au]

Love the showmanship.

[daltonsbadboy]

very nice

[GeneralG1810]

Is it just me or are the women drummers kinda hot???

[vp34]

@GeneralG1810  yeh i think so 2

[kebjnchan]

This is so amazing Hope i can join this kind of music instrument in Viet Nam .... lol i love everything started from Japan xD

[Dermeister009]

Its supost to scream wtf if theyr werent those japanese screams ect it would take away taiko atmosphere .... imagen a battle field with taiko drums and samurai crys... makes uwanna go woop ass lol

[frost1416]

29 people are completely DEAF

[aturbulence]

0:21 sounds like Nightwish "Amaranth"

[mcYE3]

That was awesome!!

[LUVallova]

Good times...:)

[kblavie]

What type of legal process would I need to go through to sample a small segment of this?

[rubymickey]

For those of you who are drummers (and old enough to remember) many of the rhythms are similar to those used by the late great Gene Krupa.

[QuentinWBuetow]

@rubymickey - Granted, I can see (hear) the similarities ... but, um, Taiko has been around for many, many centuries longer than Gene Krupa was alive. =) I think it more likely that *he* used the rhythms associated with Taiko rather than the other way around.

[AMDfreak27]

It's a spiritual thing. Taiko to me is the sound of a warrior and the beat of the drums makes your ki stronger with each beat. No wonder ther est of the team backstage cant contain themselves. It pumps you up so much. Adrenaline and endorphins mix and you feel like you can take on the world.

[KoriNinja]

Now thats a real drum roll

Thats what i call useing one instrament too its full potential

[92lashes]

come to Australia please

[eatcarpet]

Boy, wouldn't it be embarrassing if one of them dropped the stick...

[drecklia]

someone should use audience filtering on this video

[kaniipan]

@drecklia thats not the audience it's our team lol

[feldsliscia]

@drecklia Those screams are not from the audience. The crew screams at the player to give 'em strength. Those guys are warriors!

[Cirin29]

@drecklia I'm going to guess that you have never been to a Taiko/Japanese Drum performance live before have you... :) there's always yelling mostly from the drummers and their support crew to give either energy and encouragement..

[Just4Th3Lulz]

@Cirin29 >either...and

> lol wut?

[juytrew]

Every one loves hip hop. yeah we know.

[fireicer]

this is amazing i love this thanks for uploading

[RussellmusPrime]

By golly this is rad!

[arenhoty]

i want to learn how to play taiko. because im a big fan of kamen raider hibiki

[Caretti2]

Alguém sabe que música que eles tocam usando somente a flauta e as baquetas? No caso é a primeira música. que a menina até dança e tals

[Caretti2]

Alguém sabe que música que eles tocam usando somente a flauta e as baquetas? No caso é a primeira música.

[Caretti2]

Who knows what was the name of first music? with the flute and the drums?

[02Stratus]

@Caretti2 That was "Push It" by Salt-N-Pepa. That fact still blows my mind.

[Alex1984Z]

I love how the guy loses his drum stick at 4:55. :-) He makes up for it with a great performance, though. As does his whole group.

[goputri]

steady, punk kids also play taiko...

:))

u rock dude...!!!

[artc1]

Za Za!!

[DaviDVDBCN]

Carai con el publico. Es que no saben apreciar un buen espectáculo sin berrear de manera que parezca que los están degollando?

[lollipop19ish]

Love the energy!!!

Its looks so much fun and

you guys definatly look like

you're having fun!!

[tSp289]

I saw Tokyo Dagekidan when I was 14, and I can honestly say few performances have ever kicked me in the gut in quite the same way as proper taiko drumming. If you ever get a chance to see some live, take it. It's a completely different experience when you can feel the air in your lungs vibrating!

[TwilightFire]

Awesome! Love the energy! I love to see musicians have a great time on stage!

Btw, 27 people can't keep a beat with their toe.

[dante134679]

it's just amazing:|:| so powerfull...

[WAnTOn808]

AMAZING. the forms, the energy, just everything, i could feel the passion :)

thank you

makes me practice harder for my own taiko group :)

[cyclonegt1969]

do these taiko drummers perform across america? just curious. i would like to see a live performance somewhere

[aznskater101]

@cyclonegt1969 no we are a collegiate group at UCLA but you should definitely stop by UCLA and watch us play!

[ifulitol]

Love it!!!

[RedNoir]

I'm so happy I jus tmade my school's taiko drum team! yeah

[mInI3c33]

わー！　すぐいな！　じょうずですねえ！　

[banix64]

[TheNotQuiteFool]

I stumbled across this video by accident whilst looking for something else. What an amazing find. Awesome display!

[TheLornaT]

my youngest daughter loves the taiko drums and she can kinda play well.she's still very young and has all the potentials.she also loves dancing.she's one very happy and bright girl.

＾。＾

[TheLornaT]

[DomDollx]

[DallasisaLeo]

If you didn't know within the first 30 seconds that this was meant to be a modern adaptation of an ancient art, and not an accurate reenactment, you need some help.

よかった！ありがとうございました！

[LazzaroMusic]

AMAZING

[maripili8793]

suddenly I got the urge to play with them!! so cool!!

[tarou3917]

踊りだしてしまいそうだｗ

[dreamless]

I just love how kids put their own little butty shakin' into traditional arts. lol

[GalooGameLady]

The hell are you all people screaming? SHUT UP AND LISTEN TO THE BEATS!! :P

[hugojpc]

Sensacional!!

[Lott40]

love the side hits

[DaJasonJ]

Awesome! Must've been amazing watching this live!

[MLavinV]

It's not about who plays better or can make mor tricks, it's anout sounding excellent, sounding as one

[spockman100]

humiliating to the ancient ways...

[Lott40]

@spockman100 so is anything anymore, who cares?

[kurounue13]

[KumiTheo]

[MRMeTaLgEaRx]

TAIKO!!!!!!!!!

[koreanrice05]

the girls are so damn cute!!

[MimicIsaac]

But its a lot of fun!

[MimicIsaac]

doesnt feel authentic at all...

[oshie789]

すごいねェェ~~ <3

[kinsmed]

I am envious of the taiko drummer; performing such an elemental motion on drums that may be hundreds of years old.

And GOOD editing. Nothing was missed.

Banzai!

[piggierthanyou]

was reading a manga about taiko...XD it really is cool!!

[MeAndTheDuck]

which manga was that ? :) xx

[piggierthanyou]

@MeAndTheDuck Kingyo Sou by Fujisuka Yuki >>really sweet one :)

[MeAndTheDuck]

thank you :)

[rnmultimedia]

yo this is tight i think taiko drums would compliment the sound of gogo.out of the dc area if your not famliar with the go-go sound just u tube some i think it'd be a unique mix...

[yomatostanyahso]

THAT IS AWESOME, I was on my feet infront of the computer. To bad Taiko cost like upwards of 900.00 +, because now I really want one for my dojo.

[DarkoonM]

I love this video

i've searched just for taiko drumming for a presentation at school... and didnt thougt, that this would be such great

[ccaptorchen]

hahaha that was so entertaining =P and not all serious like the taiko groups and seen /been in

[benzodiazepimp]

That one girl looks like the one from the Taiko group at the end of the Tokyo Marathon (YouTube: "Tokyo Marathon taiko")

[akechi1000]

めっちゃすごいやねん！

[ngajak]

haha the dude on the flute starts playng Push it.

[Tendoking]

I had to play that part back. I thought, "what the crap?"  heh

Great performance.

[lilly1292]

@ngajak LOL

[kblavie]

Was playing my bongos and remembered seeing the Sacramento Taiko drummers about 7 years, figured I'd turn to internet for influence. Great crew here.

[sbkei]

omg stop cheering i wanna hear them D< *staples each mouth from the audience*

[Medyshel]

You're right. Anyway...it's amazing **

[lowfat422]

Wow, you guys rock! I can wait to see you guys at Invitationals! :]

[avedisdrummer989]

You're an idiot.

[Blutroth]

[stinkysam]

[bathboy007]

Bloody brilliant! My co-worker's son and daughter-in-law are Taiko drummers, so very cool to watch them and their group practice and perform.

[lilibet939]

is taiko a style of drumming ? my only experience with Eastern percussion comes from watching the highly enjoyable East Meets West pairing the Kyoto drummers with a Celtic band (Donal Lunny and Coolfin). I would like to know more about this style it is captivating!

[SuperMoo332]

a taiko is a japanese drum

[lilibet939]

thank you

[klpipit]

That's incredible energy!
