DRUM TAO: Mar, 28 2026
DRUM TAO explodes on stage with a captivating performance full of flash and fire! Renowned for powerful and athletic drumming, their newest show, The Best, blends traditional “wadaiko” (Japanese Drums) with modern energy and theatrical flair. Seen by 10 million spectators across the globe, DRUM TAO shows feature vibrant costumes, dramatic synchronized drumming and movement with a variety of traditional Japanese instruments including flutes and harps alongside the massive taiko drums. They have captivated audiences worldwide – selling out shows in 26 countries – garnering critical acclaim and accolades along the way.
After a sold-out run on Broadway, Newsweek praised the company, stating: “The highly acclaimed debut of DRUM TAO on Broadway represents not only Japanese entertainment, but Japan itself.”
