For those who are not familiar with Taiko, it's traditional Japanese drumming. The workshop will introduce people to the basics of Taiko drumming. There will be a background on the drums, the history of Taiko, a Q&A session, and most importantly lots of hands on drumming! This will be a great group activity and a nice opportunity to meet other people as there will be a total of 25 participants. However, only 10 spots will be available for Mokuyokai members and non-members, so RSVP as quickly as possible.
Still not sure what Taiko is? Here's a promo video of Tetsu Taiko from last year:
