Here is a sample of the new Matsuri Crashers battle structure videos we made here at LATI. I think they turned out well and hope they'll help people prepare for our July 20 battle at WTG.
RSVP if you'll be joining us!

During Yuta’s set of courses offered in the Winter, I was able to take the Omiyage Chu Part class. Throughout the 12 week course, I learned how to play the piece’s chu section from beginning to end. I encourage any intermediate to advanced taiko player to take the class, for it really improved my taiko playing in many ways.

1. Playing with a Purpose

Asano Taiko US is celebrating its 1-year anniversary in July!

Thank you for your all the support you’ve shown Asano Taiko US. We are honored to have 80 students each week and now a staff performing ensemble. The Torrance taiko community is coming together! Asano Taiko US is proud to be a part of the north-American taiko scene and we will work hard to be a useful resource for even more of you.

Yuta, Julia, and I had a great time with the members of "Hondaiko", our dedicated group of Thursday lunchtime drummers, performing at Honda for Asian Pacific Heritage Month! Thank you to Honda for hosting us, Hondaiko for the hard work preparing, and Tom Watanabe for putting this video together!
