TAIKOPROJECT

The TAIKOPROJECT is an ensemble of premiere taiko drummers dedicated to promoting and advancing the American art of taiko ("Taiko" means "drum" in Japanese).

I saw them perform at the 2008 Orange County Fair, and they were PHENOMENAL! Check them out at www.taikoproject.com. And if you ever have an opportunity to see them perform, don't miss it!

Are any of these prints available for purchase?

We have had the opportunity to be at a Taiko concert in Oregon and again at Epcot Center in Disney World. Both times we were amazed and impressed by the physicality of the performers and the fantastic rhythms.
Great job capturing this unique musical experience.

Hello Jon,

These are super captures that take one to the event. Your lens provided you a view that beings the viewer right next to the drummers. Great coverage showing the emotion, concentration and determination of these fine artists. Yup, you are part of that group too.

I would have really enjoyed listening to these guys. do you know if they offered any CD's for sale at the event or possible online. I intend to do search, if I find any I will let you know.
