Wadaiko Ichiro
This site is all in Japanese but is the first professional Taiko group we ever saw and they are awesome. 
Ichiro was director of the organization from which Kodo sprang.


the most widely-known Taiko group in the world

Taiko Masala
This site is much too graphics heavy (slow),
but it is the place we bought our first drum!

Taiko in the UK


We have no connection except that we have friends who live in Portland 
and therefore we may get to see these guys one day!


We introduced two friends to Taiko and they are now regulars at Emeryville classes 
and we attended a great workshop  there in March 2004 by Ryutaro Kaneko of Kodo.
