Yamato: The Drummers of Japan

Experience a heart-pounding spectacle of athleticism, grace, precision and exhilarating musical expertise with the men and women of Yamato. Founded in 1993 in Nara, considered the birthplace of Japanese culture, the master drummers of Yamato are young, modern and brimming with infectious energy as they take the ancient art of taiko drumming and bring it to the present. The UK's Telegraph raved, "Phenomenal skill and ferocity somewhere between the seriousness of samurai and the crazed exhibitionism of heavy-metal rock drummers."
