Taiko Drumming

On the 4th of may my school and I went to another school to participate in a Japanese drumming style called Taiko. We all followed the instructors cue. Like when to drum and when to yell. Each time we had done a certain drumming pattern we all move one spot to the right. They wasn’t enough drums for everyone so some people at certain times just had to drum on their legs. Most of the Taiko drums were made out of plastic bins but some of them were made out of wood, rope and animal skin. We leant lots of different techniques from a little, lovely Japanese lady
