The Dojo Drummers are a vibrant exciting performing group based at and representing the Mugen Taiko Dojo, performing at festivals, special events and private engagements.

The performance features thrilling taiko drum beats and dynamic choreography, infused with explosive energy, performed in full costume. The Dojo Drummers perform mainly as a 6-piece, but have a flexible line-up, with up to twelve performers at large-scale events.

The Dojo Drummers repertoire consists of both traditional taiko drum pieces which display the rich traditions of Japan, and also modern compositions, which are energetic and highly choreographed. The performance uses the full range of taiko drums, from a visually impressive one and a half metre diameter skin drum to small high-pitched drums for the fast and precise rhythms, and also various percussion, all the highest quality instruments imported especially from Japan.

Past performances featuring the Dojo Drummers have included large sporting events such as the Worthington Cup Final at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, international rugby matches at Perth, Swansea and Twickenham, and various outdoor festival appearances in UK and Ireland, such as the Sighthill International Festival in Glasgow, the Tall Ships Festival in Waterford, the Middlewich Folk Festival, as well as many corporate events and private engagements across the UK, at venues such as Birmingham NEC, London Excel and Manchester G-Mex.
