Why please ? Almost the opposite reaction from me when I have been privileged enough to see Taiko performances.

I saw Taiko several times in SF. There are many things about Japan I feel at home with - and Taiko expresses a few of them. When the drums start the tears come and sounds from the tetsu-zutsu take me to places no other instrument does.
I even had a past-life reading done once that stated in my most recent past life I was a female in Japan and died during WWII.
I know of your interest in things Japanese - Madam told me once I seem to remember. What happens for you with the drums?

Yes , where the Heavens is Madama ? Think she would get her delightful maiko self out at least for this thread . I may have to drop her a call.Shankara20 said:
Ohh that's interesting regards the past-life reading. Wonder what I was. Actually on second thoughts please don't answer that . I am not entirely surprised I note your draw to Japanese and sometimes alternate Asian esoterica .
I always spend the first few minutes marveling anew at the power, endurance , ritual & skill . Then I dissolve in it.

Surprise.............
This was shot by Lochai very recently at the Morikami Gardens in Florida. Taiko drumming is also one of his favorite genres of music. Small World huh Fu.

hit that shin...
and then there is Babatunde!
Babatunde Olatunji - what a great drummer he was, I saw him in 1992 in Prague, CZ. At the end of the concert he lead the entire concert hall of people out into the winding cobblestone streets to the beat of his drum
a little more

a drum is like a naked ass -
it exists, in service, only to be struck
and for the joy of striking it
and for the sounds that arise
and for the pleasure of being stuck

Am I the only one that was expecting pictures nice red welts on bare skin?
Yes; OK I'm sorry I must be a pervert or something.
Please resume I'll slope off into another thread with my perverse thoughts

This is why Bun E. Carlos of Cheap Trick was a demi-god in Japan...
Of course, being told back in the day that I looked just like Bun E. has nothing to do with my being a fan....
Think I'll change my name to Timpani.

One of the Dom's in our group here is a helluva drummer... and has done "subby drum sets* with 4 - 5 submissives all around him like a drum set. Uses sticks, brushes, and foot petals to good effect! It's a helluva scene when he gets going!!!

It's so coincidental that you started this thread when you did! ~ D (SO) and I just watched a documentary on Taiko in the U.S. on one of the PBS channels here. (SF Taiko figured prominently but a Sacramento group headed by a woman did also.) I adore Taiko - it definitely speaks to body and soul...
I love watching women drummers.
