The band members played several songs on the Taiko Drums and explained how the drums are created as well as other musical instruments used in their performances.

TAIKOPROJECT was founded in 2000 in Los Angeles, California by a group of young, emerging taiko drummers led by Bryan Yamami and Masato Baba.

TAIKOPROJECT is an ensemble of premiere taiko drummers dedicated to promoting and advancing the American art of taiko through public performances.

For more information on their band or to see their performances please call 213-268-4011.

Deborah Niblick thanked everyone for attending this event.
