With a massive six-foot diameter drum made from a
400-year-old tree as their centerpiece, the highly skilled musicians of YAMATO
play 40 taikos of various sizes, blending phenomenally powerful and dramatic
drumming with music of delicate beauty and humor. Athleticism, superhuman feats
of coordination and incredible intensity are the trademarks of this
irresistible ensemble.
"If you're looking for inspiring drumming and infectious
dance rhythms, you'll be disappointed. This is much, much more." - The
Guardian, London
