This article appears here with the permission of Marc Steuben and explains how Taiko was born as we know it today and how Taiko came to the United States.
I have taken several lessons from Marc now and the more I get to know him the more fascinating and complex I find him. Look forward to reading about his other talents and endeavors here soon.
He remains a patient and encouraging teacher even though I have two left hands when it comes to drumming!
