We had our first ever joint practice with Jodaiko of UCI tonight! Thank you Jodaiko very much for driving all the way out to West Covina on a Monday night to share your Taiko knowledge. I am sure the Jodaiko alumni that is currently playing with Kishin is reminiscing the good times in college.

Otsukare!

Kishin Daiko will be starting a Beginning Adult class from June to August. The beginning class will be 2 months long and consists of 8 one-hour session teaching the history of Taiko, learning the basics of playing Taiko from learning the correct stance to striking.

This past weekend, we played for 3 straight hours of non-stop taiko near the finish line. Thank you for those who came out and ran/walk for such a good cause. Hopefully to see you again next year!
