Taiko practice

Album Info:
My host-brother found the website for this community taiko group online, so I dropped in on their practice to see if I might be interested in joining them and to see if that kind of thing was even allowed or welcome. In the first couple of practices, they were getting ready for a performance, but they let me drum during their breaks. Since then, they have let me play pretty much the whole practice, and are trying to catch me up so that I can play in a big festival performance in June. My group is called "Arakawa (something) Taiko", named after the ward of Tokyo in which all of the players (including me) reside. It has been great to see one example of how taiko exists in Japan, but it has been even better to get involved with people of all ages and vocations in my local area who are united by playing taiko together. I am wearing Ben Hunsaker's shirt and jeans. The crotch on the jeans ripped, by my mom stitched them up for me.
