I took my 8-year-old son and we absolutely loved it. there was humor he could appreciate along w/me, and oh my, they are so talented! i loved seeing the ladies play the drums right along w/the men.
Must see! Excellent performance! High energy with impecable timing.
Outstanding musicianship and showmanship with a sense of humor. My 8yo daughter was fascinated and sat on the edge of her seat for the entire show. I loved it too :)
A stunning event. Their precision, skill, and artistry were amazing. The lighting and movement added a great visual element to the performance. Their humor made it possible for the audience to feel a closer connection with the performers. I was mesmerized!
The Yamato drummers gave a phenomenal performace. Not only did they dazzle with the rhythm and beats of their drums, they performed with vocals, some kind of miniature cymbals and guitar-like instruments. They were animated, comedic, graceful, and demonstrated some athleticism that would make Tony Horton of P90X proud. They even got the crowds going with audience participation. It was a very powerful show. Glad I was able to see it.
We did not know much about this type of Drumming. That was the apoint of attending... to learn more about it. We were totally impressed by the sound, the vibrations, the musicality and most important: the RYTHM!! It was mesmerizing, you get lost in the sound and when you think you have seen and heard enough... they come up with better variations and higher levels of expertise. The technique is fascinating and it looks that they are masters of this art. It brings your inner primitive instincts of beating a drum. It is truly fascinating to listen the children get excited with the interpretations.
This show was mind-blowingly awesome. Anyone, not just fans of Taiko drumming, would enjoy this high-energy show. Unlike other Taiko shows I've seen, the Yamato performers incorporated audience interaction and humor into their performance, making it a lot of fun as well as an exciting and unique cultural experience. In addition to the drums, Yamato uses the traditional Koto and Shamisen stringed instruments for one or two numbers-- and they play the Shamisen in a most un-traditional way! They rock that thing! Everyone at the show from young kids to the elderly seemed to be having a blast. I would recommend this group to those who love Taiko, Japanese culture, and any type of music, or to people who are just looking for something "different" to do. Totally worth the ticket price. How many things can you say THAT about?
We really enjoyed the show. I took my 7 and 10 year old with me and they LOVED it! Very engaging! Great interaction with the audience.
This taiko performance was fun, exilerating, and engaging! What a crowd pleaser! We are old farts but we were rocking along with everyone else in the audience to these young, talented, strong and awesome performers. Recommend seeing them if they come to your town.
My wife and I have seen this show three times. (It's different every time.) Fabulous musicians and show men. With the occasional bit of humor.
