The music of Psycho Taiko is an ever-evolving blend of world drumming rhythms combined with more than 15 years of teaching, learning, and performing in the music industry.
The main influence in the
Psycho Taiko's
Show is the
technique and discipline of Japanese Taiko Drumming, and ancient
expression of peace and harmony through the thunderous sounds of “Big
Drums”... “Taiko”! |

The emphasis of The Psycho’s music is balanced around the Visual, Audio, and Melodic elements supported by discipline, elegance, and a lot of power! With the thunderous rhythms established around tranquil melodies, our music takes a large lean towards a visual show when it comes to live performances and influenced by the eminent style of traditional Taiko, our shows therefore always strive to capture the audience visually, as well as technically. Although the technique and main rhythms are of Japanese origin, The Psycho's big influence and attraction to African and Latin rhythms have inevitably crept into some of the repertoire. The dance-like feel of 6/8 time signatures and happy chant melodies on African Log Drums and Asian Xylophones united with the pounding range of Taiko Drums, not to mention the choreographed stick and arm movements and a few vocal calls to complete the sound, delivers the bold and exciting sound of Psycho Taiko. |
