Taiko is the Japanese name for drum, and wadaiko\u00a0 refers to the Japanese big drums. We currently have four large drums (Miya-daiko) and two smaller ones (Shime-Daiko). The drum group plays at all semester graduations and at our performances. We started the group in the autumn of 2018 with Tony Tuddenham as drum teacher.<\/p>\n

In October 2020, Riai Taiko visited Seidokan Taiko in Copenhagen for a workshop. Peter, Christian and Jonathan took good care of us and we have now started a collaboration where Seidokan Taiko is our taiko mentor. In June 2021 we went down to Seidokan again and learn much more.<\/p>\n

The drum group currently is Alina, Orvar, Einar, Carl and Emmy. Riai Taiko has got a paid culture summer job from the City of Gothenburg, and will brighten the streets of Gothenburg with their performance during the summer in 5-16 July 2021. You can see their show on this page.<\/p>\n

In autumn 2021 we will have a beginner group for dojo members who wish to learn taiko drumming. From 10 yrs and up (adults welcome!) We play on Sundays. Dojo Drummers (beginners) 17.00-18.00; Embu Drummers 18.15-20.00. The taiko lessons are included in the regular training fee.<\/p>\n

You can hire Riai Taiko for concerts. Perfect for opening ceremonies, festivals and sports event. Write to us at info@riai.se<\/a> if you are interested! Of course, it is also possible to book both a taiko concert and an aikido show at the same time.<\/p>\n
