FREE Intro to Team Taiko & Japanese Drum Care
February 2 @ 7:00 pm
Learn about Taiko and how to care for Taiko drums and bachi (drumsticks) and how to make a practice drum
in this introductory session.
If you wish to make your own practice drum, please bring a bucket (5-gallon or larger). All other supplies will
be provided.
If you have your own bachi or drum that you would like to perform maintenance on, please bring it with you.
We believe in creating unique opportunities for people to meet their neighbors and engage in their community
in a new way. Come play with us!
Taiko is a Japanese traditional drumming practice that, over the last several decades, has become a global
phenomenon. Since 2013, Grand Vision has partnered with leading taiko instructors to bring the art form to
the South Bay.
Taiko Artist Man Man Mui guides participants toward a repertoire of drumming techniques and patterns.
Sessions include developing rhythmic sensibility, body awareness, breath and strength training as students
make music together as a team.
