- "Simply breathtaking"
- THE TELEGRAPH
Taiko drumming is a physical, as well as musical spectacle – the drums can measure up to six feet across, requiring powerful stamina to play. Yamato's nine performers display their breathtaking expertise on over 20 drums, varying from huge barrel-like Odaikos to hand-held instruments. Combined with exquisite bronze cymbals, vocals and bamboo flutes, Yamato create a kaleidoscope of sound.
- "They are exuberant performers, leaping from drum to drum. It’s energetic, noisy, varied and exhilarating ...."
- THE INDEPENDENT
