Ondekoza was influential in the rise of the ''kumi-daiko'' (group taiko) style of taiko.

Ondekoza's performances in North America in 1975 was the first exposure for many and helped spread interest in taiko through North America.

The traditional Japanese drummers do not play only in underwear. Part of a larger movement to rediscover Japanese folk art, Tagayasu brought together a group of young men and women to Sado Island to study and live. Largely without formal musica ...
