Taiko Drumming Concert

Taiko drumming is a centuries-old tradition in Japanese culture, and the drummers of YAMATO continue to challenge the boundaries of what it can be.
This will be a great night out, and a fun start to the Summer. Yamato are widely regarded as one of the world's best Taiko groups bringing with them a world of awe-inspiring rhythms and soul-stirring energy. Since being founded in 1993 they have given more than 4,500 shows across 54 countries.

What is Taiko Drumming?
Taiko is a form of traditional Japanese drumming known for it's heart-thumping rhythms, thunderous sounds and breathtaking beats. It is more than just drumming; it involves movement, etiquette, physical strength and ferocious skill to command drums that weigh up to half a tonne.
Date & Time:
Thursday 13 June
7.30pm - 9.30pm
Optional pre-show from 6.30pm, Concert starts at 7.30pm
Tickets:
We chose the date for this outing to the theatre based on when the most Drum Pass members that expressed an interest were available and wanted to go to see it. We can squeeze in a couple more people if you let us know before 1st June if you would like to join.
For events like this, we usually try to meet up a little earlier at a nearby venue for those coming straight from work, to grab a drink and perhaps a bite to eat (optional) before the show.
If you are not a member of Elephant Drums or if you want to go to see the show on a different date, then you can book tickets directly with the theatre (it runs 4th - 22nd June in London) - Public Tickets.
