Learn the art of Japanese Taiko Drumming with Auckland's Tamashii Taiko Drummers! Taiko drumming is a passionate fusion of music, dance, and martial arts -- and New Zealand is fortunate to have its own distinctively powerful taiko styles.

Tamashii has been performing Auckland-wide since 1997 and teaches public classes every week.

Taiko drumming is a very physical art form!  It's enormous fun, but also intense exercise and demands a degree of strength and stamina.  Dress for movement, and bring plenty of water.  If you have concerns related to your fitness level or an injury you've sustained, please contact us and we can advise you on the best way to approach your taiko adventure.

Keep on drumming!
