Taiko (太鼓, lit. “big drum”) is an ancient form of traditional Japanese drumming that has been involved in various aspects of Japanese culture and history over many centuries. It has functioned as a form of communication in the military, is played during religious and spiritual ceremonies, rituals and local festivals, and is incorporated into traditional Japanese theater. More recently, “taiko” has become popularized around the globe as an ensemble style of performance called kumi-daiko (組太鼓, lit. "set of drums").

Milwaukee Taiko Group Hibiki showcases both traditional and modern styles of taiko with the mission of promoting interest in and understanding of Japanese culture through taiko drumming
