Drumming meets dynamic choreography in Drum Tao, a collective formed in 1993 that elevates the art of Japanese taiko drumming, alongside flute, marimba, harp, and more. Using wadaikos, handheld snares, and large odaikos, the band performs intricate and electrifying routines of traditional and modern compostitions that come alive with vibrant sets, aesthetic costuming, and precise choreography.
