This was an excellent activity. We had so much fun learning to play the Taiko drums. The instructors were knowledgeable and kind. They taught us many different rhythms and put it together into one longer piece. They spoke great English, very clearly and easy to follow. They helped take pictures and video at the end. We had so much fun.
Small little workshop space, for a fun hour. Its good how quick you can pick it up and do something that sounds actually pretty ok! That's all thanks to the good and clear instruction. All good fun, and after exploring many Kyoto and Tokyo taiko drum options this was by far the cheapest.
