My apologies for the blurry pictures from camera shake.  Resisting that driving, big beat is impossible, which further exacerbated the blurriness.

Experiencing a taiko concert is literally a moving experience.

A taiko performance is far more than power drumming on stage.  Filled with energetic choreography and lively tempo switches, Jodaiko members dance around their drums, sprinting and switching from one drum to another.  

All that running makes for a first-rate aerobic workout, requiring great physical endurance.  This precision athleticism is not an art form for the slothful.  

Coach potatoes need not apply.
