Free Japanese Taiko Drum Workshop in London

Nobuko from the Asian Music Centre sent me this note about a free Taiko Drum Workshop they are holding on Friday 28th September, 2007. I’ve seen a performance by the Joji Hirota Japanese Taiko Drummers and it looks and sounds excellent, especially if you like your beats. The performers really looked like they were having fun too.
