i noticed that they also used a considerable amount of kakagoe in this performance as well. but you have to remember something... they performed nonstop pounding drums for seven minutes. have you tried to do that? it's not easy. esp for the two drummers on the big central drum - b/c the head is so large, it requires very, very strong strokes. the kakagoe helps to build strength and keeps the intensity of the piece. its also why martial artists use it. its the spirit.

They seem to work themselves into a trance then into a savage frenzy. Beautiful

well i practise kendo and we do a lot of kakegoe, it boosts ure resistance a lot, so its ok to do it in taiko i guess cause they use a lot of energy .......

hahaha. Japanese fire dragons burning through the terror, destroying all that was left of the ashes of tyranny. Justice and liberty throbbing in the veins of humans, defiant to the end, victorious for our ancestors.

Too much kakagoe!? Yeah that's how we do here in the Frisco City. The Old World gave us this wonderful gift and we are returning the art how we see it right. Savage beasts will eat you alive like tigers escaped from a zoo.Investigate 911. |
