Just released in September 2004, and unlike many drumming CDs, this superb technical recording at a top UK studio fully captures the transporting power and dynamic artistry of UK based Joji Hirota's contemporary Taiko compositions. Based on his current live repertoire, and backed by his Taiko entourage, it's as close as a studio recoding can get to a live performance of this virtuoso percussionist. Pure drum - pure joy! |
