和太鼓 しぶき | Wadaiko in Western NY

We are a group of drummers who practice Japanese taiko drumming and enjoy bringing our passion for drumming to audiences in Western New York.
Previous performances include the Buffalo Cherry Blossom Festival, Japan Culture Day, Music Is Art Festival, Elmwood Festival of the Arts, Griffis Sculpture Park Summer Festival, and many more. If you haven't seen us perform yet, you are in for a fun, unique cultural experience that will make you feel the heartbeat of Japan. Formed from members of the Japanese Group of Buffalo, JGB SHIBUKI have been playing together since 2016.

What is Taiko Drumming?

The word taiko in Japanese simply means drum. But kumi daiko refers to the art of ensemble taiko drumming, which has grown in popularity in the United States and now, worldwide. Taiko drumming can be very physically demanding due to the strength and stamina required to play large drums. Choreographic movements are also incorporated into the art form.
