Glad to see that the prepubescents are still trolling the comments section and offering their brilliant insights.

For those of you who appreciate Taiko/Kodo:

You know, Fark is a strange place. When Elvin Jones died, there was no greenlight from the mods. Yet this gets the nod... I'm confused.

When he was hospitalized, initial reports were that he would recover so his group (Osuwa daiko) proceeded with their travel plans to perform in Taiwan. They got word of his passing on their way to the airport.

The taiko community has lost one of its greatest performers. He will be missed.
