Sensational Young Taiko drummers - Powerful, brilliant. Nagasaki, Japan. Part 1.

[@SebastianSkadisson]

There's no better music for exercising and workouts than recorded traditional Japanese Taiko drumming live sessions.

[@deannakeith2947]

It’s a wonderful sight to see traditions are being passed down to the next generations. It takes a lot of strength and training to play these particular drums. I see a great appreciation in their faces.

[@fumiyohirano8323]

The young drummers are powerfully awake and meditatively relaxed inspirational performance!

[@Vikingr4Jesus5919]

Playing this while training. Believe me, it's more effective than you think! There's a spirit of persistence in it.

[@StuartMorris7]

Sorry, I don't even know the name of this fantastic group. I just filmed them. I hope someone who knows replies to you. Best of luck with the festival.

[@deannakeith2947]

For the people who don’t know how these drums are made. They come from hundreds of yer old particular trees and the skins are hand strung and is tightened by hand without any machines

[@Elmithian]

Sounds like they would be _very_ expensive

Taiko drumming is so unexplainably powerful to me. I saw a Taiko performance at the DC Sakura Matsuri last year and I was so pumped! It just makes you want to yell or go to war or something 😂

[@elsalisa146]

Taiko is truly celestial. Thank you for sharing this exceptional event.

[@markcarey8426]

Utterly brilliant. A forward movement for humanity. Thank you all. Go for it. Go for it.

[@terredee]

Absolutely love taiko drumming. They are so good, and it's great to see so many girls in the line! Well done, everyone!

[@shanefistell8890]

Fantastic!! Thank you,people of Nagasaki! Your spirit is eternal!

[@onlymoonbeam]

I have seen Taiko before On a cruise to Japan there where 10 drummers at the cruise ship and It was amazing. The sound was moving and emotional and the drummers where incredible

[@ilikefoodx20]

jesus christ! can u imagine holding that stance the entire time?! my back and leg hurt just thinking about it

[@thenorthstarsamurai]

We do have a very balanced diet in schools well except people like me I always ask for seconds

[@puxirblog2601]

[@hatempire]

Core strength is the key for a lot of stuff in taiko - including the strong-yet-effortless beats. Still trying to get better at it, it's not easy at all.

[@davidrolfe9571]

A memorable departure from Nagasaki - I captiured about 10 mins of this myself and must have been standing a few feet from you on the deck of Aurora (on 9 March 2013). I took about 3 hrs in total of video of the cruise from Sydney to Southampton and subsequently edited down to about 40mins and burnt to BluRay - still enjoy watching it.

[@StuartMorris7]

Hi, what a coincidence! We did not know what to expect when those kids came out, but weren't they impressive. We joined the cruise in New Zealand, and left at Hong Kong. I expect you had longer on board. Did you get off at Papua New Guinea? That was like a different world. I never found out the name of the taiko drummers, did you? It's my most popular video on KZbin, at 2.6m views to date!

[@wiesel1979]

those kids have so much fun and focus! just awsome! hope they are doing well today!

[@sarahb4502]

These kids are amazing. That's a lot of music to keep in your head.

[@bear3173]

i would so love to see this live that was awesome

[@cf8545]

When we departed the same port in 2012 there was an slightly older group of drummers. Quite an amazing send off. I remember they were still drumming when we were about a mile out at sea. Now that's showing respect.Never forget that.

[@StuartMorris7]

yes, all very memorable!

[@yatzugotorikei9205]

So amazing~ Beautiful to watch and listen to

[@geroitek1]

So cool!! We love Taiko too, we are a little amature taiko group in Brisbane Australia. Toko-ton, Brisbane Taiko / Wadaiko team perform at the Technicolour festival Nov 16 2013

[@Captain_Mckeggor]

How can they be so terrifying and cute at the same time? lol

[@Tacit_Tern]

You must be Chinese. Japan is a friend of the world. If it weren't for China funding North Korean terrorism and trying to steal Japanese land. They wouldn't even have a defense force.

[@normandrake1994]

They were absolutely fantastic. We really enjoyed the sail away, one of the best. The footage is extremely good, far better than my amateur attempt. Stuart, thank you for bringing back happy memories. Hope for many more in 2015.

[@TheDanster4]

Wow, really cool kids! The Taiko Drums look really fun to play!

[@audreyharalambos2592]

Wow amazing, even the fact that they can stay stood like that is brilliant never mind drum as well, these are so good, I wonder how many still play the drums all these years later x

[@info8384]

Wooow..the art of sound and body moves...awesome!!! Like they are talk and dance with drums.

[@NorDahalan]

Wow...look how confident they are and they are still too young. Am speechless...

you'd be confident too, if you were using bats.

I can not control my tears ... It must be the power of my soul. Understanding.

[@typo1345]

They premiered in Epcot when I was there. All I hear is this giant drum rhythm from two large, two medium, and two small taikos, and it was brilliant!

[@GINGERGARY1]

these kids are great.

This is why it's called war drum.

[@stuartedge9539]

Can you imagine what it felt like hearing this coming at you during the feudal period. “Fock me, they got a thunder god tagging in here, I am doing one” 😂

[@xodiclover84]

As a descendant of the Mexica and Maya people, I appreciate this art form from our Japanese brothers and sisters!!

[@tontogomez6420]

I think it is wonderful to see the younger generations enjoying this with as much pride & honour as their ancestors did centuries before.....many western cultures have a lot to learn, get children away from their X-boxes and play stations that many parents use as Baby sitters & give them the traditions again.

[@CREEPOOO]

I need to listen this beat before going to a boring meeting..

[@brothermaleuspraetor9505]

You will start to beat the table...Just imagine the pencil-wielding tribe that's gonna grow from the guys in that meeting haha, ties around foreheads... tables hammering...

[@sonyaevans9951]

Good Morning !!! Dear kids, very good sounding !!!

[@Yanhauff]

Years later, I'm back to this video as a fellow taiko player and the group I train with plays the song at 5:39. It's called Kenka Yatai! 😍

[@richardmatatahi4563]

Wow I'm so amazed, the energy I felt was incredible, I so want to do that, I must find out if we have Japanese Taiko Drumming in New Zealand. Thank you so much for sharing Japanese culture with us. It was such an enlightening experience. Dōmo arigatōgozaimashita

[@snuggiethegoblin7101]

im so in love with this culture

[@minerdalta]

Too bad it's dying. Every culture is dying culture. I pity my grandsons who will have to live in an increasingly homogeneous world. Well at least many form of cultural art had been documented. Who knows hundreds years later it may become popular again haha.

[@Kasumi8779]

Fajar Anugraha It's not completely dying. Many old instruments are still learned in Japan

[@minerdalta]

Kasumi97 Yea, but it's a tiny, weeny minority. And most of it is old people, i bet. The youngs are too fixated on pop. So when the old dies, the tiny weeny minority declines to be tiny weeny, bitsy minority. So sad.

[@Kasumi8779]

Fajar Anugraha It's not only the old people. There are many popular Japanese "Folk Metal" bands that mix Pop and Metal with Traditional style music that many young people listen to. And it's not only a tiny tiny minority, as there are still many oriental towns in Japan, that may never be modernised

[@minerdalta]

Kasumi97 That's great then. It's not like that in most part of the world

[@besberry]

I was. I did the full worldie and loved every minute of it. Booked on the South American and Pacific Adventure in 2015 now.

[@StuartMorris7]

Thanks Norman. Yes it was great. Our balcony happened to have a perfect view, and I just rested my camera on the rail. (I'm an amateur too). Enjoy your future cruises!

[@franklinarchambault5397]

these kids are just great and now that they have had time to grow some are they still making the drums sing I hope so

[@SailorBarsoom]

Enjoyed the visuals, *really* enjoyed the drumming. The annotations were overdone. Just telling us once near the beginning and once near the end to _click here for part 2_ is enough.

[@SailorBarsoom]

Stuart Morris You're not the worst offender with those, nor the first I've mentioned it to. But you are the first to actually cut back on them. YYYAAAAYYYY Stuart!! OK, I'm off to enjoy pt 2 now.

[@hansvanmourik6532]

+Sailor Barsoom please explain better ..

[@SailorBarsoom]

Hans van Mourik Hhhmmmnnn...... Not a lot to explain. I felt that there were too many annotations, I said so, Stuart cut some of them, and I cheered him for doing so. Oh, and I liked the drumming, both the sound and how it looked, and so I went and watched pt. 2.

[@hansvanmourik6532]

+Hans van Mourik just saw your reply sorry. i see it like this: if the ego will be addressed over a certain longer period of apprenticeship in combination with this style of drumming the drumming will become deeper in more ways .. but for that a specific schooling is needed as there are not many teachers to address such an issue in combination with whatever they practice on the side of the drumming itself.
