 "Not
exactly dance, not precisely music, not solely spectacle,
Japan's Yamato Drummers are a combination of all three. They
fill the stage with huge, beautiful drums and beat seven bells out
of them, at an unrelenting decibel level and with phenomenal
skill, applying
ferocity somewhere between the seriousness of
samurai and the crazed exhibitionism of heavy-metal rock drummers."
Currently on the 2007 Shin-On
(Heartbeat) World Tour, Yamato
features Japan’s new generation of Taiko drummers -- sexy, energetic, and
contemplative -- in a feel-good blend of gorgeous spectacle and rigorous
technique. This ten-member troupe fills the stage with drums, creating
a percussive rush that invigorates the entire theater. The inclusion of
women in the group is a clear break with Japanese tradition and creates
an exciting new dynamic.
Yamato has
awed audiences around the globe with its sheer force, subtle feeling, and
unabashed fun. The Daily Telegraph (London) claims the group creates
“a breathtaking big bang.”
