On the Eleventh Day of Christmas…

…gave to me…we’re going with drummers drumming which have occupied ninth through twelfth places in all versions of the past century. In 1980 I attended a Japanese Festival at the Seattle Center. The highlight for me occurred with a show of taiko drumming which had been preceded with a film about the religious origins of the drumming-based music. It’s impossible to describe it other than to say it was a lot of drumming.

Small and medium-sized taiko drums with drummers. Seattle, 1980.
Largest taiko drum with two drummers who do not always beat the same rhythm if I recall correctly. Seattle 1980.
