I often come across these groups ...great clips GF.<br /><br />I often come across these groups in Tokyo practicing on a Saturday or Sunday in a park or a dis-used car park or something like that. I always stay a while and listen, but have never been to a full-on performance.<br /><br />I have however played the enormously popular Taiko arcade game in the "game centre" on numerous occasions. You have real sticks and have to hit the (real-looking) drum in time to the computer, it's not so easy!<br /><br />I know it's completely different kind of drumming, but if anyone hasn't seen the "Boadrums - 77 Drummers" film, put together by Eye Yamataka out of the Boredoms, it's well worth a watch, an incredible sound.<br /><br />I tried and tried to find a link to the original vbs.tv film of the event which is better than all the Youtube clips, but to no avail...sorry!Luke-senseihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11238609215530700500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1533372025110910037.post-7315739237429548432009-08-02T22:28:55.732+01:002009-08-02T22:28:55.732+01:00haha.

Just look at Stomp - bin lids etc.<br /><br />Yes drumming is quite a thrill when you suddenly feel creative with it. I know what you mean. If you find a good drum circle, let us know about it!<br /><br />Today I met a woman who was doing it to ease her osteoarthritis. And there's usually lots of other percussiony things to play with that get shaken rather than pummeled.<br /><br />The drums we use are lovely to look at too. Beautifully hand-crafted.<br /><br />Cheers, CaitlinDangerpusshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12598184492638893205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1533372025110910037.post-52725268495903172612009-08-02T22:25:46.015+01:002009-08-02T22:25:46.015+01:00I've never participated but I've always en...I've never participated but I've always enjoyed 'em, there was one in Berkeley years ago that was quite large, maybe 20-30 drummers, what I enjoyed with that one was that there were several who beat on cast iron brake drums or brake discs with a hammer or re-bar, it added a whole new element.<br />If you're not familiar with Japanese Taiko check out these links.<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=__Z_ar3zoaI<br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=thQ1VAyJWHw&feature=relatedgoneforeignhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05903220453599675348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1533372025110910037.post-3357675444729266122009-08-02T21:22:14.667+01:002009-08-02T21:22:14.667+01:00I can't play any instrument for toffee, except...I can't play any instrument for toffee, except that I had an evening with a gang called Drum Crazy, and I almost persuaded myself I was being musically creative. It was great fun, and as you say, leaves you feeling de-stressed and elated. I hadn't heard of drum circles, but I'll look out for one around my way.glasshalfemptyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02571305610728989814noreply@blogger.com
