Japanese-style jam?

Tokyo’s Shibuya district is hardly lacking in interesting sights and sounds, from the area’s famous crossing which is a firm favourite of the foreign media, to the (presumably) last gasp of the much maligned but unusually long lasting ganguro fashion phenomena.

Yet despite this, nothing draws a crowd it seems like a slightly deranged but definitely dextrous game centre drummer.

This poorly shot and painfully short video — a first for Tokyo Times, hence its lousy nature — sadly offers only a teaser of his tricks, although the latter part does briefly capture the taiko master’s ability to play the game while nonchalantly not looking at the screen.
