Ways In
We carry the weighttogether.
Every Sunday there is a hall in Gardena with drums in it. No experience needed, and no one learns this alone.

Support the Drums
Thirty years in Southern California
Donating helps provide the drums, equipment, and uniforms a growing membership needs, and covers some of the travel that gets our members and youth to each performance. Every contribution keeps Eisa Taiko on stage and in the community.

Festivals, schools and community gatherings
We have played festivals, concerts and stages across Los Angeles, taught in schools and community centres, and travelled beyond the city for anniversary shows. Eisa is meant to be performed in front of people — tell us about yours.
