OH MY FLIPPIN' GOD, Y'ALL! The taiko drummers of Kodo are coming to town. What?! You say you've never heard of taiko drummers? How do you stand yourself, gaijin? Kodo, the Japanese word for "heartbeat," is also the name of an internationally adored group of four dozen percussionists (and fue and shamisen players) from Sado Island, Japan. They're like a Japanese version of Stomp, only cooler because Stomp never had the guts to wear those butt-cracking fundoshi thongs.
