  • Kodō (鼓童) ( www.agoravox.tv/culture-loisir... « Kodo, un battement de coeur japonais rythmé par le taiko » : voir l'article et les vidéos) est un groupe de percussionnistes japonais originaire de l'ile de Sado. Son nom signifie « battement de coeur » et « enfant du tambour » en japonais. ( fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kod%C5%8...) ).
    Le collectif Kodo est formé en 1981 par d'anciens membres du groupe Ondekoza à la suite d'un différent entre Tagayasu (fondateur d'Ondekoza) et ses musiciens. Il perpétue et réinvente la tradition musicale japonaise, en explorant toutes les possibilités offertes par le taiko, tambour de peau tendue sur bois utilisé dans les fêtes traditionnelles.
    Il parcourt le monde depuis le début des années 1980 pour diffuser son message « d'humanité partagée, de conscience environnementale et de paix ».

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taiko
    Ōdaiko : One of the most memorable drums of many taiko ensembles is the ōdaiko (大太鼓). For many, the ōdaiko solo is the embodiment of power due to the size of the drum, the volume, and the endurance it takes to perform. The ōdaiko is the largest drum of all taiko, if not the entire world. The largest ōdaiko are too big to move and permanently reside inside a temple or shrine. Ōdaiko means "big taiko", but within any group, it describes the largest drum in an ensemble, which could mean 12 inches (300 mm) in diameter or 12 feet (3.7 m) in diameter. Made from a single piece of wood, some ōdaiko come from trees that are hundreds of years old.
    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kodo_(ta...)
    Kodō (鼓童?) is a professional taiko drumming troupe. Based on Sado Island, Japan, they have had a role in popularizing taiko drumming, both in Japan and abroad. They regularly tour Japan, Europe, and the United States.
    Although the main focus of the performance is taiko drumming, other traditional Japanese musical instruments such as fue and shamisen make an appearance on stage as do traditional dance and vocal performance. Kodo's performance include pieces based on the traditional rhythms of regional Japan, pieces composed for Kodo by contemporary songwriters, and pieces written by Kodo members themselves. The numbers that Kodo perform can change from concert to concert. Kodo's performance normally lasts for about one hour and forty minutes.
    In Japanese the word "Kodo" conveys two meanings: "heartbeat" the primal source of all rhythm and, read in a different way, the word can mean "children of the drum," a reflection of Kodo's desire to play their drums simply, with the heart of a child.
    Kodo strives to both preserve and re-interpret traditional Japanese performing arts. From worldwide tours and research trips, Kodo brings back to Sado world music and experiences which now exert a strong influence on the group's performances and compositions. They also collaborate with other artists and composers.
    Since their debut at the Berlin Festival in 1981, Kodo have given over 3,100 performances on five continents, spending about a third of the year overseas, a third touring in Japan and a third resting and preparing new material on Sado Island.

    If people knew the incredible work done to create these drums, they would be amazed. The largest drums, weighing sometimes almost 3 tons (!), are made in one piece from the carefully selected trunk of a gigantic 700 year old elm tree. The drum is hollowed out, then spends 5 years in a drying room. Then it often goes into a huge vacuum chamber to remove any remaining moisture. THen the drums are smoked to help harden the wood. Only then do craftsmen with over 15-20 years experience begin, by hand, to give the drum its final shape. Next, artisans chisel special patterns into the inside of the drum to help tune it's resonance, based on the wood's grain, density, and if the drum will be used indoors or outside. Next, the outside is protected by several coats of high quality lacquer. Then, lastly, carefully selected and treated animal skins are tightened over the drumheads using twisted ropes for tensioners, and nailed in place with close to a thousand custom made nails. Incredible.

    As others have already mentioned recordings don't do Kodo justice. One has to experience a live performance to not only hear and see but most importantly FEEL the power of their drumming. It is akin to a spiritual experience. Also they are easily the supreme group amongst all the groups I have ever witnessed. I have never been to one of their performances where the audience didn't erupt into an immediate standing ovation not only in response to what it had just witnessed but also in response to the energy the performance had generated.

    Those symbols on their drums are the mitsudomoe, a traditional symbol closely associated with Hachiman, a Shinto kami of war. Hachiman is also associated with the number three and things that come in sets of three, which explains the mitsudomoe (the symbol with three commas) and the three odaiko players

      the audience, depending on the venue, experiences those drums the same way. may sound odd, but much the same can be said of drum and bugle core, DCI. go see BLAST if it comes around again. a broadway show based on the the very best of DCI performances. played for 2 years on broadway, winning best of type awards both years, then took it on the road.
      when the entire horn line come to the front, and eventually settles one ondoubled chord at full volume your entire body becomes the sounding board for that chord and anyone in the front dozen or so seats in the orchestra section are rocked back in their seats with the force of the sound blast. the same can be said of the full drum line of a competition corps

    I have lived in Japan long time and I know what the plot of this drum music. The plot to fighting with your fears and weakness sides of your character. "You will win anyone and any live situation if you decide to win yourself"

    I'm completely envious of the guy at 6:00, he's having an fucking insane dopamine release. These men go through something both incredibly stimulating and painful simultaneously, displaying the pure, primal nature of man. Fucking stunning, I can only imagine how good it feels to slam those drums.

      A simple neurose I slammed a drum as hard as I could once and I’m telling you it’s fucking rough specially because all the energy u put into one slam your arm bounces off and you gotta absorb the recoil to put in the next slam in order to get the right rhythm
      It’s fucking insane and a good stress reliever :)
