Taiko Stairmaster Basics
(Two Hour Session)
An intricate exercise to introduce multi-drum performance in taiko.

As many taiko drumming pieces emphasize the right hand over the left, many practitioners gradually find a large difference in strength and control between the right and left hands. With this in mind, Art Lee created the Taiko Stairmaster in 2004 with seven levels of difficulty. The Taiko Stairmaster workshop has become one of the most sought after taiko workshops among intermediate to professional taiko players as well as percussionists of many styles.

While the full Taiko Stairmaster Course is recommended for Intermediate to Professional levels practitioners, this short session is geared to all levels for both intricate multi-drum playing and as a good introduction to the full Taiko Stairmaster.
