Here would seem to be a good place to start.

Kagemusha Taiko Group, from the pictures, looks more like the Mentos Taiko Group.

I don't even have a TV! Does it come with a USB drum? I'm looking into buying a Midi Drum trigger thing to activate my sampler, on a tangental note.

I wasn't too impressed when I saw Kodo live. They were too showy and not enough crazy energy massiveness. I saw some really good one at EPCOT center a few years back and in Japan I think all the less known locally based ones are often quite amazing.

That game got boring pretty quick, and the one in the arcade is too expensive.

twenty years pass...

Saw the Yamado Drummers last night at Strathmore near DC. Some exhilarating booming big drum energy, some comedic moves, some theatrical drama elements, some usage of other instruments likes bells and stringed trad ones. 9 member troupe with lots of taiko drums of many sizes. I liked when the drummers did these cross body drumming moves

Oops- that should say Yamato Drummers. I saw the Kodo Drummers as well years ago. Above was my second time seeing Yamato ones
