Drum Revolution is a young and innovative taiko group located across the San Francisco Bay Area(San Mateo, Santa Clara, Alameda, and Marin County). The group was founded in 2005 to promote, teach, and demonstrate taiko theory and practice.

Technically speaking, there are many percussion styles. Each form has its own unique rhythmic frame. For example, Afro-Cuban rhythms are rooted in the diverse rhythmic patterns of the Clave, Cascara, Guaguanco, Mambo, Macuta, Songo, and Mozambique.

Taiko has its own distinctive structural framework. Besides its creative Japanese rhythmic patterns, Taiko includes a sequence of body movements called "TE," a form of hitting the drum called "KATA," and the skill to control both sound and body movement called "WAZA". Drum Revolution is dedicated to articulating these qualities and creatively reformulating these rhythms and movements.

Currently, several classes are offered in Emeryville, Millbrea, Los Gatos, Milpitas, and Palo Alto. Interested individuals and potential new members are encouraged to contact Drum Revolution at:
