DRUM TAO: A Fusion of Tradition and Modernity

DRUM TAO's latest production, The Best, showcases an exhilarating combination of traditional Wadaiko (Japanese drums) and contemporary theatrical elements. This dynamic performance captivates audiences with its vibrant costumes, synchronized drumming, and the inclusion of various traditional Japanese instruments, such as flutes and harps, alongside the powerful taiko drums. With a remarkable history of engaging over 10 million viewers worldwide and sold-out shows in 26 countries, DRUM TAO has earned critical acclaim for their innovative artistry.

Since their Off-Broadway debut in New York in 2016, which received widespread praise, they have continued to expand their reach. Their long-running Tokyo show, MANGEKYO, has seen over 500 performances, while the establishment of the outdoor theater TAO no Oka in Aso Kuju National Park further highlights their commitment to artistic excellence. In 2022, they introduced CLUB TAO, bringing their electrifying performances to popular nightclubs in Tokyo and Osaka. Their contributions to the arts have been recognized with multiple prestigious awards.
