Canada Day Drumming

This year, Kamloops will be taking part in a nation-wide project, Canada Day Drumming, a simultaneous cross-country multicultural drumming session. Led by the Kamloops Japanese Canadian Association's Raiden Taiko Drummers, we invite drummers of all ethnicities to join us in for six minutes of drumming across Canada. The video feed of our drummers in Kamloops will be live-streamed to the Canada Day Drumming jumbotron screen in Vancouver and on Facebook Live and YouTube Live, and we invite everyone to join in from coast to coast. We will be able to see other cities' drummers while we drum together CONTINUOUSLY FOR SIX MINUTES.

The Plan: At 11:00 am, the Raiden Taiko Drummers will start us off with a steady rhythm pattern. Once established, a signal will be given for other drummers to join in and add their rhythm to the beat. Three humdred rattle drums will be given out for free. In Vancouver, there will be a Guinness World Record attempt for "Most Nationalities in a Drum Circle", where we will try to set a record of at least 50 nationalities. Please join in and cheer them on.
