Incredible performances
‘Tao’ is the martial art of drumming. Formed in 1993, Drum Tao reflects traditional Japanese compositions with influences from Korea, Indonesia, and Maori. Their performances carry a modern take with the group’s own contemporary compositions. Each member of the ensemble trains daily. This training includes martial arts, calisthenics, and dance practices. This allows the group to deliver a unique and world-class theatrical experience with their flawless movements.
Dubbed as “The Japanese Entertainment,” Drum Tao is one of the best Japanese taiko groups performing in nonverbal entertainment. Their timeless drum performances have reached over 8 million people across the globe. Countries like Australia, Germany, UK, and Belgium have witnessed their incredible shows.
Sublime performance art
In 2012, Drum Tao collaborated with global fashion designer Junko Koshino to bring fashion and entertainment together. The intricate costumes of Junko elevated the stunning performances of the group. They performed in Manila for the first time at Resorts World Manila in 2012 and Kia Theatre 2018 with an incredible performance with their famous Samurai Drum Rock.
In this year’s show, the evening will be filled with captivating beats, melody, and rhythm from the Japanese Taiko drummers. Witness Drum Tao’s passion and commitment to continue rewriting the story of the traditional Japanese Drum.
