Review for: 90 min Taiko Drumming Workshop

The taiko drumming workshop in Tokyo was absolutely incredible! The taiko instructor Eva was extremely welcoming, patient, and full of energy, making it accessible even for ethnic percussionists like us to jump right in. Appreciating the history of Japanese drumming culture, learning the rhythms and playing together as a trio was an immersive and mesmerising experience. If you’re in Tokyo, this is a must-do activity—you’ll leave with sore arms, a huge smile, and unforgettable memories. 🥁🎶

We had a brilliant time learning Taiko with Eva. We have wanted to try Taiko for a long time and Eva was a great teacher. She explained and demonstrated well to us and although we had to learn quickly, it was a good pace and we got a lot done in our hour and a half. We learned some basic rhythms and then a whole piece we performed as a group. Eva sent the photos and video very quickly after the session. Eva has also been very helpful when I left something at the studio and made it easy for me to pick it up later. Highly recommend this experience to anyone wanting to try Taiko.

This is an exciting Taiko drumming class. The instructor and her assistant spoke fluent English and demonstrated the steps together with all participants. I enjoyed the class and the interaction throughout the course.
