Wonderful performance. Great to see something different.
Simply unbelievable to see in person! Their devotion to their craft is immeasurable.
Anyone who is interested in all forms of percussion ensembles or different traditional cultural music should see Kodo.
We really enjoyed the show, the performers were great, you could tell they love playing.
This show was amazing! The pace was non-stop. The performance was flawless. It was a great performance for all ages.
Awesome show. I highly recommend it for all ages. The venue is decent but with some very expense cocktails. I will definitely return for future events.
These guys got a standing o from our crowd! All drummers and performances were very precise and on point. You can tell they care about what they do. I can't believe the stamina these drummers have. (And talk about being tone! I don't think any of them had an oz of body fat on them) I would HIGHLY recommend seeing this show! Worth every penny. Exciting, explosive and intimate all at the same time.
It wasn't just that the drummers could play perfectly in synch, it wasn't just that they did this for an amazing amount of time testing their physical stamina, it wasn't just that the drumming was phenomenal, it wasn't just that the visual presentation and movements were beautifully choreographed . . . it was all of the above, together at an astonishing level of excellence from such a wonderfully rich culture.
The Kodo drummers were absolutely amazing! Very impressive, I wish I could see them more often
I've seen Kodo 3 times and this performance was one of the best. They play with energy and flair accessible to people of any culture, not just Japanese. DAR Constitution Hall was a great place to watch the drummers because it is small enough that you can sit in the second tier and still feel the music reverberating in you.
It is amazing that one can listen to drummers for hours. Athleticism, sense of showmanship, rhythm, and synchronous movement was outstanding.
The program was thoroughly entertaining. Constitution Hall provided terrific space for the performance. I was surprised by the encore and curtain call. The performers' smiles were genuine and they seemed grateful for the standing ovation.
The drummers were magnificent. They were captivating. The entire show was awesome. I was impressed with the discipline, the stamina these young men showed. The entire show was awesome; well deserving of the standing ovation they received.
In addition to being amazing drummers, they have amazing stamina, dexterity and memories. I put 30 and 50 seconds samples of concert on You Tube.
Remarkable show, had an amazing time. Very moving experience.
The different sounds that they were able to make with one drum was surprising.
The show was great!!! There percission, accuracy, rhthym, stage presents, and agile transitions between songs were outstanding. And there wasn't false advertisement. The men actually came out and played the big drum in their thongs!!! The diversity in sound and emotion from drums was something I didn't expect and would definitely see them again.
One of the best shows I have ever seen. If you have a heart beat you will love thus show!
One of the best shows I have ever seen. I would see them again.
Outstanding! Sometimes playful and silly, sometimes chilling or moving, always amazing - an excellent show for all the family!
