Welcome to CCS Taiko - Gloucestershire's only dedicated Taiko drumming organisation.
CCS Taiko is run by Peter Hewitt, who is now passing on his years of percussion experience to others through Taiko. Trained at the Royal Marines School of Music, Peter has been involved in music in many forms since 1962.
"I discovered Taiko after watching a mesmerising performance by Tanoshii Taiko of Cornwall in 2010. This led me to discover Jonathan Kirby's book entitled "Teaching Taiko Principles and Practice." I found this brilliant manual by the founder of Kagemusha Taiko to be both compelling and inspiring and would recommend that this is a foundation for anyone interested in Taiko."
