Taiko Drumming

I have a friend, Barb, who became very serious about studying the African drums. She packed up and moved to Boulder, Colorado to study with master Farra Tolno for four years. Needless to say, she is excellent! Lately she has fallen in love with traditional Japanese Taiko drumming. I asked to tag along with her to their weekly practice. I had a lot more of the class but lost it so, here is my "lucky saved piece". I guess I'll have to go again :-) The class was two hours long including a 20-30 stretch warm up that I found very intricate reaching the tiniest of the finger muscles. This was a serious workout for everyone.

I have shown this video before on the old D.Tube that now is defunct and all the videos I put up no longer work. This was a big disappointment for me on Steemit and I stopped caring so much about quality and time invested. I didn't keep a lot of my work because I thought I can always see it on Steemit/D.Tube...NOT. So, I've decided to repeat what I have left and didn't toss. I don't know what the new Steemit rules are now since the fork. Will I get down voted, called on the carpet and asked to leave...I don't know...we'll see. So, consider yourself warned you may have already seen this video.
