"We seek inspiration where
others are afraid to look.
We like solutions,
but we love problems.
We don’t just reach for the stars,
we create them and
Hold on for dear life.
We fight gravity."
For the last couple of months I've been involved in a Japanese drumming group called Taiko. It's a strict choreographed drum group that resembles a mixture of martial arts, dancing, and music. Sensei Tanaka who teaches our class in Japantown in San Francisco as well as a dojo in south San Francisco is credited to bringing this art form to North America and considered The Godfather of Taiko.
You can check him out and the rest of the group from our performance last Saturday:
