If you’ve always been curious about what it’s like to bang on those Japanese taiko drums, a one-day beginner’s class is being offered by Amanojaku Saturday, March 29 2 p.m.-3:30 p.m. at Tokyo Geijutsu Gekijo, just outside Ikebukuro Station West exit in the basement rehearsal room.
5,000 yen (2,500 yen for elementary school children).
For the more ambitious, learn Bujin, Amanojaku’s signature chudaiko tune, 4 p.m.-5:30 p.m., or the giant Odaiko from 6:30 p.m.-8 p.m. (both 7,500 yen; English speaking instructor _ my son Isaku _ on scene).
