The unmistakable sound of the traditional Taiko drum, used in Shinto rituals, is challenged by the Yamato Drummers of Japan.

Drums weighing up to half a tonne are hit with ferocious skill, as each beat sends out a heart-thumping torrent of vibrations.

In this high-energy, exhilarating performance, the drummers push their own limits in a staggering display of physical strength as they use their entire bodies to produce their thunderous music.

At the Peacock Theatre from 14-25 March, book your Yamato Drummers tickets today!
