About
Yokai Demon Drummers are a Taiko (Japanese style drumming) group
influenced by the dark and mysterious side of Japan's mythology, history,
horror, demons and spirits (Oni and Yokai).
A side project of Kaminari UK member Jared Hardwick, who has combined
his passion for Taiko and Japanese culture with his affinity for the dark
and gothic subcultures.
The performances are atmospheric, dynamic and energetic with a strong
presence of theatrical flair. Along side the thunderous taiko drums we use
other taditional Japanese instruments and percussion. This is all played to
a backing of haunting and atmospheric synths.
Due to the nature of the show, some smaller children may find some parts
frightening, although we try to gear our show to suit the event and the
audience attending. We leave viewing this show to the discretion of the
parents.
