Fushu Daiko is a South Florida Taiko Drum troupe with a dojo in Dania. According to Fushu Daiko's myspace, Taiko Drumming is a musical martial art hybrid involving traditional and modern rhythms and movements that developed in the 1950's.

I caught a Fushu Daiko performance recently and was impressed with their rhythms, showmanship, and command over the audience. It must be fun to bang on a big, loud drum and the smiles on the faces of the performers evidenced it. Want to learn Taiko Drumming for yourself? Fushu Daiko has classes click here to check out the Fushu Daiko website.
