Being a professional drummer or performer is the dream of so many people around the world but for members of Kodo (鼓童), it's a reality. Their career is Taiko Drumming as a performance art, on tour around the world. When they're at home on Sado Island, they're practicing which is more like living and working. Kodo is not just a place to learn Taiko drums. It's not just a school. It's a place where you learn life's most important lessons, build a connection with nature and become someone greater than before - a leader - which is part of their grueling 2-year apprentice program. • The dream of making the taiko drum a career is real for the group of dreamers who formed Kodo in 1981. • This is the story of Kodo and the journey of their lives in the pursuit of the perfect beat. • 00:00 Start • 00:46 Where is Sado Island? • 01:59 Morning Prep at Kodo Village • 04:30 Pre-Tour Practice at Kodo’s Rehearsal Space • 06:50 History of the Kodo group • 11:05 Why become a Taiko Drummer? • 15:01 Earth Celebration Venue Street Food • 15:57 EVENT START • 17:29 O-Daiko Large Drum Performances • 21:17 Sitting Taiko Drum Style • 21:59 Japanese Flute Finale • 🗺 Where is Sado Island?
