THE ONE-WEEK EXPERIENCE OF PLAYING JAPANESE DRUMS IN THE MOUNTAINS OF VALENCIA – SPAIN


Valencia Taiko Experience 2026

Taiko is the Japanese word for ‘drum’. Playing Japanese drums is a physically intensive experience, characterized by large drums, thick drumsticks, and a spectacular performance style.

Location

Our workshop venue is nestled in the mountains of Valencia. The location features a fully equipped kitchen, excellent accommodations, and a beautiful, atmospheric swimming pool.

Who is it for?

Everyone! The week is designed to provide space and individual attention for all skill levels. You don’t need a musical background or athletic experience; during this week, ‘character’ is more important than experience! 🙂

Meet your Instructor

The workshops are led by Erwin Oudshoorn, artistic director of Circle Percussion. Erwin is the creator and founder of IDÕ Drum Workouts and has been playing Japanese drums for 33 years. In addition to his popular training sessions across the Netherlands and Europe, Erwin has been hosting Taiko workshop weeks in Spain since 2004. He was trained by masters from the world-renowned Japanese Taiko group KODÕ.
