Japanese Festival in Christchurch: Taiko Drum and Choir Performance



Fantastic performance from both choir and drummers - many members of the group in both the choir and drum section.

Excellent show. Great piano, especially the way the grand piano was adapted to sound like a Japanese instrument by placing a magazine on the strings! Quite amusing that during a later piece the pianist forgot it was there!

  • Are these the Kudo drummers? I've followed them a bit. I think of it as full body drumming.

  • Hi Sue,

    They're called Taiko drummers. Not sure about that full body drumming but you could certainly feel the drumming from the audience! Most excellent show - really enjoyed this!
