Flicking sky channels landed on 507 Japanese TV

watched a programme J-Melo, where there was a drum ' orchestra' (if there can be such a thing) which to me was absolutely superb. Watching, I thought this could be the next phenomenon to follow on from Flatley and his Irish dancing. Haven't been so impressed by anything in years! Anyone else see it? B.

Japanese drumming has been around for a very long time, you can find loads of videos of it on Youtube.

Thanks Daffy 654. Will go and lok-see B. As a 'by the way do/did you enjoy, or is it me?? B.

can be great... I stumbled on a Japanese festival in Spitalfields, east London, last year and they had a couple of drumming bands performing, one made up of girls aged about 10-20 by the look of it.

I love it, I find it really uplifting and would love to see it live :)
