5.0 out of 5 stars Best Taiko recording I've heard!, September 30, 2004
This review is from: Big Bang (Audio CD)
Even though Portland taiko is not as big as some other taiko groups in the US or Japan, this is one quality recording! Better sound quality than most of the recordings by taiko masters like Kodo! Taiko are instruments that produce a great amount of sound with very rich overtones and this makes it very hard to record. Portland Taiko recorded this one in a theater big enough for that amount of sound with a great sound engineer who obviously knew what he was up against. From the big drums, the big Okedo and Odaiko, to the little dums and percussion instruments, this recording is crystal clear and has great depth. The recording of the violin and bamboo flute is also very nice and well balaced with the taiko.

This is my favorite CD for testing out home theater systems!

5.0 out of 5 stars Big Bang Fan, March 20, 2007

This review is from: Big Bang (Audio CD)
I've been a fan of Asian drumming for awhile. This is very enjoyable to listen to and professionally put together. I really liked the strings on track number 7.

4.0 out of 5 stars I saw this group LIVE, March 21, 2008
This review is from: Big Bang (Audio CD)
I had the opportunity to see Portland Taiko live in a small venue recently. I cannot rave enough about these folks. Their technique and story-telling abilities are phenomanal.
