  • Went to a concert last night. Amazing! There was a Japanese drum line. The different kinds of drums come from different prefectures around Japan. It takes a lot of energy and musclework to keep the rhythm going. It's not in this particular video but it's amazing when the drummers do something that looks like sit-ups while drumming and stop in mid sit-up. They make it look so easy.

    I'm in awe. They don't just play the drums but do a choreography. They all follow the rhythm with no conductor wagging a baton in front. Amazing.

      If you like this sort of thing you should check out the Top Secret Drum Corps. They're from Basel Switzerland and they're phenomenal. Their drills are beautiful and their marches are so in sync. ruclips.net/video/JHXNaYoguNU/видео.html

    and hearing these drums while marching towards the enemy.
    Quite some morale boost.

    Dude, the air in that room must have been reverberating so hard. Those guys were screaming at the tops of their lungs, and the drums were still five times as loud. Those drumbeats literally make your bones shake, even if you're sitting 50 feet away. I know, since I've been to a performance utilizing about 10 taiko drums. I can only imagine what hundreds of those would feel like.

      So you'd be scared by a few drums? Sorry but that'd be nothing compared to a few regiments of men with muskets at the ready fearlessly marching towards you in a neat and orderly long line to the tune of drums, flutes or bagpipes. Plus you'd need a lot of people playing a lot of Japanese drums to have the affect to make you run away, the more people drumming means the less people fighting.

American schools would do themselves a favor if they took lessons from the Japanese. Other tribal druming I like is Native American Indian drumming and chanting- singing too. But it is nothing like this! This is also the problem with the military today - NO HUGE LOUD WAR DRUMS to let the enemy you're coming and you're about to kick their ass!

    I loooove how the little drummers( all the way in the front) look like they're going to pounce at any moment.

    What a full house!!! I have never see like this before .. totally bloody amazing. It reminds me of making new things but it's different rather than other drumline teams in the world. But at the moment, Top Secret is the best team in the world right now because they're also talented too.

    Simply excellent!, my favorite is the big drums, the deep sound of “thunder” coming at you!
