Bang the Drum: Taiko in Tacoma

Wendy Hamai, 74, dreamed of playing Taiko drums since the late 1970’s. Her dream was fulfilled when she and other Tako enthusiasts founded a performing Taiko group at the Tacoma Buddhist Temple in 2009. She then organized a Taiko group for people who didn’t want the stress of performing but wanted to learn about Taiko and experience the fun of banging the drums for the sheer exhilaration of it. This film is presented in Partnership with the Chinese Reconciliation Project FoundationPT2H2025-03-31
