History

TaikoProject was founded in Los Angeles by a group of young, emerging taiko drummers. They were seeking to create a truly American style of taiko, blending traditional forms in which they were raised, with an innovative and fresh aesthetic approach to the Japanese drum. Since that time, they have garnered critical acclaim from all over the world and amassed an impressive resume. TaikoProject first made waves when they became the first American taiko group to win the prestigious Tokyo International Taiko Contest in 2005, beating out all the Japanese taiko groups in attendance. They have also been featured on television more than any other taiko group in the world. Their appearances include a Mitsubishi Eclipse commercial ad campaign (2006), the Academy Awards (2009), the Grammy Awards (2011), The Voice (2011), X-Factor (2012), 30 Seconds to Mars'
