Feel the Beat

“Your heart is a taiko. All people have an internal taiko and they listen to a taiko rhythm dontsuku-dontsuku in their mother’s womb, It’s instinct to be drawn to taiko drumming.  In taiko, man becomes the sound. In taiko, you can hear the sound through your skin”

Grandmaster, Daihachi Oguchi
