TaikoArts Midwest

TaikoArts Midwest 2025 Big Gravity Tour

We are TaikoArts Midwest, a Japanese drum/TAIKO org in Minneapolis, Minnesota. With professional experience performing and producing taiko in Japan and US, we offer the cultural feeling and skill of this artform at the highest levels.

Based in the States— no visas or customs are required to have real, authentic taiko. YOU CAN AFFORD TAIKO!

“TaikoArts Midwest is truly dynamic, and most importantly, authentic.  They bring energy, beauty, and power to your stage, your schools, and kindness backstage with your team. We adore them at the Ordway!“ – Tanya Gertz, Ordway Center for the Performing Arts

Run by artists who toured in Japan with famous companies, and a producer who trained and lived in Japan, touring professionally there and extensively in the U.S., we bring the work ethic and cultural feeling of this art form at the highest levels and abilities.
