Japanese drumming: The way of the storm

"It sounded like a storm was coming. Slowly at first, it began with a single low-bass boom and grew louder and louder. Developing over the last two years, the thunderclap sound of Arashido Taiko, traditional Japanese drummers, has arrived in North York."

The beat is on

"Mississauga residents at the city centre felt the rhythm of the beat last night as percussionists took to the stage making a lot noise. Japanese drummers Arashido Taiko, Afro-Brazil musicians Samba Squad and other worldly percussion groups banged on their drums all night at Central Library Square for Global Beat Percussion Spectacular"
