Japanese Taiko Drums - Pro Series (1/9)

- čas přidán 11. 09. 2024
- A collection of professional Taiko performances. This one is a performance that is solo based - several of the members let loose and show off their Taiko drumming skills. The solos kick off in full swing at 8:20 if your'e impatient, but try watch it from the beginning or you miss the dynamics of the gradual buildup - very awe inspiring, you'll almost applaud yourself.
I still remember that I was forced to play in the school group when I was a kid I am 58 now, the teacher was a very crazy man all he did was to insult us, i was never insulted in my life like that ever again. He used the worst words, but people said he is a honorful teacher so nobody said anything. Now I am a 58 year old japanese businessman, and I can't forget him. I forgot how to play the drums probably but not how to insult others.
Don't remember the bad parts. Remember the great tradition of your nation and people you participated in.
were all sincerely sorry you had to go though that an wish you to keep doing what you love
@@OurLastStand think that helps at all? the guy said himself that the teacher mostly just insulted him, even if he were teaching such a "great tradition" i think he did a shit job doing so according to OP
Ok I laughed
A teacher teaches, a student learns, but it's not always the lesson either want.
Taiko performances are not only exquisite audio experiences but also an exceptional visual treat. For me it encompasses all values of Japan. Dedication, precision, discipline and respect. A must see live experience!
I couln't agree more.
I have seen a live group; I agree, it's a must-see experience. They are amazing!
I think taiko is first timing fitness musicality precision correct right behaviour
They are a physical and emotional experience. Whole body, mind and sole. The timing the performers exhibit...words fail. One must expeience.
I love that one guy playing the triangle in a power stance.
Triangle? Do you mean the little metal dish? (Kane)
I guess.. you could call it a ... circle
It is called chapa
Right? Total commitment.
He's playing from the heart and spirit
This music is addicting! I love how it gets your blood pumping yet is tranquil and soothing at the same time.
thecheechoftheages Agreed this is pretty good to listen to, as background music ^^ soooooothing ;)
@@xxopxxfan54
Tranquil and soothing? I've been getting visions of spearing large animals this entire time.
You summed it so well

@@dhanashrimatondkar3008 Also good exercise. One would need to be in good shape to play them, I'm not joking.
It's so nice to see her play and at 5:25 when she starts smiling and you can tell she's having the time of her life...
Awesome video
This is legitimately a Japanese jam session. They're feelin' it.
I don't think they're fully improvising tho. There may be a few improvised solos but if it were a full jam session they would have to improvise the whole thing. There are clear signs of there being some kind of form and stuff.
I know that it got my butt up outta the chair and got me Jammin'! Loved it! I'm almost afraid to play it in the car...but I'm gonna try it!
I've been to several of these while station in Japan and nothing can compare to the power and beauty of hearing a live performance.
the dude with the pretzels on 4 drums is killing it
The most motivating war drums ever
Probably up there with the Western timpani and tom-toms
Für der Kaiser, Got mitt uns
@@Insularish what are and what's the story behind spirit festivals if you care to explain?
@@shiningarmor2838 Taiko, Timpani, Bass Drum, Snare and Toms are great for use together in cinematic arrangements.
The one thing that eludes me is how do people beat those huge taikos crazily fast and not have to muffle or dampen them in anyway? When you play Bass Drum it rings out if you play fast and you have to muffle it to get more attack. Doesn't seem to be a problem for taiko players.
I. Love. This. First of all, the instruments are works of art and then the performances of each drummer is wonderful to watch. My favorite is the woman because she looked like she was having fun, her style (way of drumming ) is beautiful to watch and she made it look effortless.
Japan's cultural heritage is very beautifully powerful and mesmerizing. So much so, that many years ago, it has come to be one of my most favorite nations and cultures on Earth. My love for Japan has grown stronger to this day. One day, I shall travel to this amazing country and experience the beautiful culture with my own eyes.
Love from the United States.
🇯🇵🇺🇸
@@Insularish Wow, I'm very glad that Japan didn't copy Chinese bad behavor :)
@@g.i.d.78 Japan invading China in the 30s wasn't exactly polite tho was it 🤷♂️
@Kwok Yat Wai As if that was bad, except the china part.
Is that your real last name? If you like it please don't ruin it like you've done the other side of Eurasia.
@Kwok Yat Wai yes
The energy in this piece is astoundingly beautiful. I love it!
n3wt15 well, I wearing my hearing aid since was born with deaf. It sound alike bomb bang drumming alike extends chanting so beautiful. That’s why I want to goes up there in Japan so badly.
Dude at 10:20 beating that drum like it brought home a report card with straight Fs 🤣😂🤣😂
Hahaha
LOL omg that was the best thing I read today. Thank you.
Also me smacking my homework
You don't bring back a report card with straight Fs in Japan. You ask your best friend to help you commit seppuku.
@@cursedegg5977 same
So much passion.I love the way they move, so symmetrically and synchronously.Perfect rhythm and this magic flute.
7:44 Pfff betcha you can't go faster than that.
9:54 Hold my beer.
12:30 No, hold /my/ beer.
13:08 Y'know what, just hold both our beers.
One of the best music performances I ever seen, absolutely spectacular.
Disappointed the curtain didn't draw back to reveal an ō-daiko as big as a house being attacked by some wiry dude in a fundoshi wielding a pair of tree trunks.
FuckYouYouFuck that comment made my day
Yeah...
No, no, no. You have to save that for the end!
I could've seen that coming too, if I'm honest.
Their co-ordination is beyond any belief ... and unlike an orchestra they don't have a conductor and a script, everything is in their mind, just incomprehensible ...
Thanx. It helped me concentrate to my exams.
It is not only a question of strength in your arms. It is also a question of the way you move for beating the drum(s).
Murdering of Taiko drums taken in a serious fashion at 10:20
+Jay Flippen No there was a fly he was trying to swat
The drums are not breaking. How durable are the drums?
That dude in the back is like a flute ninja...😋
I tried listening to this while studying kanji, but the sheer passion for making music kept pulling my eyes away.
thats why I love japanese culture
Ruiya Xiao guy above is right.
The drumming originates from China and basicly japan took it and made their own version.
still though the chinese variants are really amazing
no i argue
Well I guess China left a big influence in all Asian countries but now each has their own personality :)
Diana CMM: Especially East Asian countries.
China in general has influenced Japanese culture a lot. Things like Sensei, Koi Fish, Bonsai and other things you’d think originated in Japan wouldn’t be if not for China.
コロナを吹き飛ばす和太鼓の迫力で元気を貰いました🙆🙆
800 year old Japanese Hardstyle Techno FTW!
Dear Fam,
this IS hardstyle, and you know how it goes :)
👍
Some of these drummers almost look like their dancing, with the precision they have in their movements
beautiful
I always say it's not as exciting as actually being there. Witnessing a live performance gives you the full effect!
+stareeagle Yeah video even with a loud speaker and bass speaker does not reflect how powerfull a real performance is
+stareeagle lucky you
stareeagle I witnessed it for the first time yesterday and I got hooked I'm willing to even give it a try soon
nathan rabalais i took one lesson and got real sweaty! hard work.
I hear that's true for Ariana Grande Concerts too, apparently it's a blast! czcams.com/video/cT5rQcX5Ptc/video.html
I saw this from school, so i searched it up. I really like this!
its the 3rd quater of 2018 and im still fascinated by these people playing traditional music. awesome and inspiring.
It was truly INCREDIBLE to see them perform LIVE in concert !
> Ashmiester1
The name of the performing group is "ONDEKOZA".
mizututi thank you! I was wondering if anyone knew, i have to show them to my taiko class. They'll love how amazing this pergormance group is
Do you know about the name of this song?
Love the Taiko performances not only do they have to have stamina but must also master the intricacies of their own drum and then blend that beat within the beat of their fellow performers
The most intimidating war drums EVER
The subtle sounds that you can barely hear are there working as the loudest ones. This is why this music is among the best ever percussions ever made.
Hearing this music makes me wanna wish to play Shogun: Total War again.
same
White343 I'm gonna go drop some napalm on some NKPA snipers on snow capped mountains in Mercenaries and let the Chinese Opera roll!
TheColdWish yeah for sure. Going to Japan this fall to experience the Sengoku Jidai and experience the ‘epicness’ of the wardrums in battle!
Dumbass.
Taiko drummer are sick, when they all play together it sounds like one whole drum, I could listen to it all day
saw this for the first time and I'm hooked
Amazing to watch from the drums sound, their body movements so synchronized I can see how much times they have been practiced and their dedication it just amazes me ❤️❤️🥰🥰😘😘💕💕😍😍
Remind me of the Summer festivals in Japan. I miss that Taiko vibration, the lights, the noise, we kids following the Mikoshi. Thank you for posting this.
Love these guys,the flutes drive my spirit. If thier I could not stop myself from joining in!
Wow wish i can see this live
master class of Taiko I bow before you
watching Taiko at home makes me clap after the videos, so good so good
love it, i saw taiko drum concert years ago...so powerful and energetic...for me the pure sound of earth heartbeat
Fantastic.
How can such energetic drumming be so calming?
02:50 !!! Goosebumps ! This is extremely good for Meditation AND for a combat mood ! :D
One of the most beautifull arts i've ever seen in my whole life
Domo Arigatou - Ich wusste bis heute nicht das man mit Fliegenklatschen so gut Trommeln kann - Kirei na desu
I just started Taiko drumming today with Taikoz. Very cool and definitely a workout!
I would not want to get in a hammer fight with these people.
damn, imagine if they put some carpets on the drums as well. they could make nice beats and have clean rugs.
My first thought as well.
...lol...at least some of them...idd :)
You must still be in diapers to make such an inane joke.
We put blankets on them to train if we don’t want to make too much noise
😂😂😂
Cant wait to see Japans opening ceremony for the 2020 Olympics, it's gunna be awesome
WoooooW! from 8:20-15:01 totally blew me away! Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful video with us! Look forward to watching part two of this pro series!
Powerful and beautiful music! Lol I'm sitting in an office trying to keep still, very hard. Love the way everyone plays with the such ritual.
12:00 Bless you!

@@branmo_me agreed lol
Hahahha
So true.
Please, i maybe disrespectful the Japan community, i almost spit my mouth
Truly amazing.
I Like the flow of the sumatran tiger drums warrior .
Heart and soul, nothing short of AMAZING 🤩
The intense flute really ties things up
Sooo beautiful I can feel their energy is explosive I love it!!💓💓
Just imagine the beyond imagination terror of a fly near the drummers! Danger zone! Incredible dexterity of this musicians! Kudos!
❤️
Absolutely incredible!
For anyone wondering, the flexible things the two people are using are futon beaters.
Bravo !!!! Magnifique et quel rythme !!!!
this is beyond amazing. mesmerizing. i feel my heart pounding.
Sickest drum solo
sounds amazing but think about it, what an excellent arm excercise must be to play those drums, impresive if you think about it.
This would literally be my all time dreams of playing taiko drums on a level of spirituality and love for drumming. I would say this has to be an awesome drum session lol. :D
As a lover of jazz and classical music(mainly the slower parts) I love this! I guess it's an "another me"!
AMAZING! 20 years more skillful and not one step slower than whenever I saw them live back in 1993 - - - videos from their USA tour outdoors concert at the April 1993 Festival International de Louisiane (Lafayette, LA) in a playlist on my page.
Hey, do you know the name of the group?
Japanese polish everything..such a wonderful culture.
They should have done this instead during the Tokyo 2020 Olympics intro ceremony instead of tap dancing and the contemporary dance. 🤦
damn shame about the 2020 Olympics, i bet there would have been a mad crazy taiko jam session.
Excellent drum play and rhythm.
ｍｙｇｙｙｙ
Holy hell! that guys solo from 8:20
I just have to make a comment on this: I have a whole collection of songs that supposedly represent different eras or ages as portrayed in fiction, with this collection being one of them. I would have fit this in the Medieval Age, tying that with songs concerning the Crusades or Warhammer Fantasy, but I decided that it sounds ancient enough to mix with the Classical Period.
Well done!
本当にカッコイイ！！！！
１９７２年、DEN TAGAYASU さんの太鼓で 直に、脱け殻になった私に新たに魂を打ち込んでくれた。今でも確りともちつずけてる、です🤚

When you are about to get frustrated for being unable to catch that fly and kill it with your flyswatter. 11:40
Beautiful
Makes me feel like the great modern rock drummers like Phil Collins, John Bonham, and Neil Pert, to name a few...
Probably studied this.
