Taiko

I have always thought that I should have a hobby, but apart from boozing at the local, nothing has tickled my fancy… until now. I have recently discovered my recreation destiny. Taiko is a type of traditional Japanese drumming, historically used to summon the spirits for fortune, strength and harmony. I don't know about that bollocks, but they do sound amazing and it is the most powerful and moving sound that I have ever heard. The other day I was walking home when I heard thunderous beats coming from a nearby park. I was instantly drawn to it. When I got there, I saw a group of about 10 people with these massive drums. Taiko combines drumming with dance so just watching the amount of energy put into it made me tired. Anyhow, Taiko is probably one of the coolest things I have seen in Japan so far, so here is a link to hear the most energetic and powerful music I have ever heard . Taiko rocks.
