CD ReviewsInteresting New Drum Sounds Biffybeans | 05/15/2006 (4 out of 5 stars) "I play an African Djembe, and am always looking to find new styles of drumming to incorporate into my playing. I'd been wanting to buy a Taiko CD, and picked this one at random. The first song is absolutely amazingly rockin'. I've listened to the CD twice, and while the first song leaps out and grabs you, I didn't find the rest of the CD to have that same crazy energy. Don't get me wrong - the rest of the CD is enjoyable, but the first song just blows the rest of the disc away. Edited to add: So I've been listening to this CD for a while. I'm really not very crazy about it. The first time I heard the first song I really liked it, but it got old really fast. The selection of percussive instruments on this CD just bores me. There's just not enough variety for me - but then again, I'm used to listening to a lot of African music where you have djuns, sangbans, djembes, bells - all with a wide variety of different ways to play them. All in all, I suppose that this is still a good cd, but it's just not for me. Edited again 10/22/08 After recently seeing some like Taiko drumming by Takumi Kato, recently named the "world's best" Taiko drummer, I can say that Taiko drumming, with all it's theatrics, is more interesting live than it is on a CD." Not well produced S. Guran | Vermont | 02/18/2008 (2 out of 5 stars) "Not a great recording. we have another taiko drumming CD from a show we saw and it is much better, though still rather poorly produced. I don't think these shows translate well to CDs." Great CD D. Gibson | Detroit, MI | 10/24/2007 (5 out of 5 stars) "I have heard several live Taiko drum performances and this CD has a nice varity of tracks. You will also find this CD a bit like sound scapes were listing in my car the CD is very relaxing during rush hour driving, bumper to bumper. I highly recommend this CD. I have other Taiko Drum CD and this one ranks up with the best."
