“Whether you’re a solo taiko player or part of a group seeking to expand your improvisation and soloing techniques, I highly recommend working with Adam. He has an encouraging teaching style that he thoughtfully adapts to taiko players of all levels. Adam’s workshops are both inspiring and challenging—he motivates participants to be their best!”

- Terry Nguyen, former NATC Conference Coordinator

“I participated in one of Adam's workshops at the Scottish Taiko Festival in 2023, and what a fantastic workshop it was!

Adam was very welcoming to everyone, and explained well about what we would be doing, while leaving a few surprises to make us think 'out of the box' at certain points during the session. The workshop was based around soloing and looking at different ways of approaching this, using different elements to incorporate or withhold each time you tried a solo. Adam presented the workshop content flawlessly and seamlessly, using his abundance of knowledge, enthusiasm and wit to help inspire each of us as we progressed through the different solo tasks. I would wholeheartedly recommend going to one of Adam's workshops or even booking him to do one for your group. They are fun, inspirational and worth every penny. You will definitely improve your skills and be a better Taiko player for it! But don't just take it from me. Check out his awesome Tic Tac Taiko channel for a taste of the vast knowledge and ideas that Adam has, hat has definitely helped so may people on their Taiko journey.”

- Jared Hardwick, Tengu Taiko

“Taking a workshop from Adam is such a fun time! He helps out everyone on all levels from beginner to expert level taiko players and breaks down any song learning into manageable chunks that are easy to understand! He keeps us thinking and entertained throughout the entire workshop. If you have the chance to take a workshop from Adam I definitely recommend it!
