Taiko Drum Group

Taiko drumming is a dynamic musical art form grounded in core aspects of the martial arts, dance and percussion. Most often played as a group, a Japanese Taiko performance is characterized by intensity, precision, strength, and a sense of celebration. As a discipline, Taiko emphasizes and enhances physical agility, stamina and creative expression.

Taiko Charleston seeks to foster a diverse community of performers dedicated to physical, musical and creative excellence through the discipline of Taiko. We strive to honor the Japanese culture in which it is grounded and to connect and inspire across cultural lines through the power of this unique and vibrant art form.
