Sabum Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Shamisen is a traditional Japanese guitar/banjo and the Taiko drums are well... Drums from Japan. Anyone hear of lessons for these instruments around town? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexLah Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 You know when I first saw the title I thought you wanted to learn some kind of exotic martial art lessons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aeon Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 no I never heard of lessons in bkk, but please if you know some, please post here some info, I can be interested. I will do the same. By the way, I heard that a traditional shamisen (thai woods, cat skin, silk strings) it may costs a lot (300000 baht and up for a decent quality instrument, not even one of the best).

orish Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 OK so maybe not taiko (and no shamisen) but come along to khaosan, outside police station, every sunday night (9pm onwards) - you can listen to Kenji's djembe drum group (with Luis and Eddie) playing hot African rhythms. Drum classes held every Friday 7.30-9.00pm at rumPUREE (Amarin Plaza, Chidlom). Bring your taiko to the drum circle or Kenji can probably give you private lessons. Maybe he can help you find a shamisen teacher too. The website is www.rumpuree.com. They also do salsa and world dance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
