TAIKOPROJECT (Percussion Performance)

TAIKOPROJECT, the thrilling twist on traditional Japanese drumming, was founded in 2000 by a group of young, emerging taiko drummers led by Bryan Yamami and Masato Baba.

TAIKOPROJECT first made waves when they became the first American taiko group to win the prestigious Tokyo International Taiko Contest in 2005, besting all of the Japanese taiko groups in the competition.
