Japanese Drum convocation!

Today i decided to attend the convocation for the Japanese drum club... and let me tell you it was AWESOME!!
This was such a great opportunity to learn about culture that i just couldn't pass it up, specially kause i love Japanese culture :)
The event started with two Japanese club members introducing us to this magical art that dates back to 1500 years of use in Japan. I found out the actual name for this type of drumming is called TAIKO! lol i love the name. 
The presenters were so wonderful, they played for us many intense, incredible, passionate songs :D It was just so awesome to watch how amazing they played. 
Overall i had a great time learning about this and watching the performance. 
I think more people should have gone... and they even let us participate and play some notes on the drums.. lol.
