Not the same as being in person n feeling all the different drums vibrate through your body. Miss that.

I had the privilege of attending a live performance of a similar drum group. Awesome. I could feel every drum beat resonating in my chest. Totally incredible.

My interest in Japan was first stoked by the mini-series James Clavell's "Shogun." As a United States Marine, I was stationed in Japan from 1985-1986. During that time, I developed a deep respect for Japanese culture which is with me to this day. Witnessing the intensity of these amazing musicians I can't help but think back to a movie line from The Last Samurai: "These people dedicate themselves to the perfection of everything they do." Watching this video, who could disagree?

Oh, to BE there. I WISH I could be.

Drums that big have such a huge sound that it echoes inside your chest. Your blood starts pumping to the rhythm. You can feel the echo in your bones.

Headphones just don’t do this justice.

the sound of the drums stirs my heart and soul and lights a fire inside of me

It's like a martial art by itself.  What a workout!  That'd get rid of a bit of tension.  Powerful stuff!

If this don't get your heart going... you must be dead...

Kenny Endo.  And in Japan KODO, great Taiko group.  How I miss Japan!

I love when cultures go ham with them hollow thunks of glory. Like my grandma taught me about native American drums.

Perfect timing , no need for the clock . Universal beat
❤❤❤

Love, understand, studied, studying Japanese culture.... Awesome 🇯🇵😍💪👍🇯🇵👏

У меня аж мурашки по коже. Обожаю барабаны. ❤❤❤

This Taiko drums performance should also be done at the Asian Art Museum.

I get tears, its like the primal stirring of something inside, amazing.
I love being a drummer!!!!!!!!!!

I don’t know how this showed up but I am glad it did! Such strength, stamina and precision! I would love to be there in person!

4:35 My absolute favorite scene when the lady leaves the stage but in the background the guy just walks up to the drum and starts hammering as if his life depends on it xD

A drum battle between these guys and the U.S. Army’s Drum Corps !! Maybe the Royal Scottish Drum Corps, as well…. I think I just blew my own mind…..

Could Listen to this all day long

I love this. Drums are my favorite instrument. They always have been. Some people have tried to force me to like other things, to have a false identity and it made me very sick and depressed. Drums make me feel ALIVE. I know what's good for me.🎉❤

Today was my lucky day, I had never heard of this group before, and magically it appeared in my YouTube list while I was listening to other groups, so I checked them out. Wonderful performance! They are bookmarked now :) and are now one of my new favorites! It was also refreshing to see female performers in this Kodo group. I have always loved Kodo performances. Some of my friends  complain that drum concerts give them headaches. I can understand that. But to me, drums of any kind, bring my spirit alive, they celebrate where I came from, and give me the energy to carry on. Many thanks!
