Rhythm is a huge part of taiko, and the more approaches we have to rhythm, the better taiko players we can be!  In this workshop we’ll learn how to both feel rhythms in the body and understand them intellectually.  We’ll start by diving deep into the simple downbeat and how it anchors us as musicians. After the foundations are established, we’ll move into polyrhythms and syncopation which can be taken into composition, soloing, or just becoming more comfortable overall in your playing.  You’ll wind up playing things you didn’t think you could by the end of the workshop!
