Miyake Daiko is an energetic style of Taiko characterized by a driving beat with the drums positioned horizontally and set on very low stands. This style of drumming originated on Miyake Island, which is located out in the Pacific Ocean, south of Tokyo, with an active volcano situated in the middle of it. The piece is unique in the way the drummers must position themselves to play the drums. It is a beautiful playing style to watch, in which the drums are completely free to resonate.
Performed at Makoto Taiko's 10th Anniversary Concert at the San Gabriel Mission Playhouse on August 22, 2009.
