Taikoproject + Zenshin Daiko - Omiyage
It's not all that big of a stretch to move from the music of Bamboo Orchestra, which has its roots in Japanese percussion, with that of daiko, which is Japanese percussion.
Taikoproject, an American ensemble that blends contemporary touches with traditional music, has another performance of Omiyage on video, and it is the one I originally wanted to present here, but it had the embedding disabled, so I dug a bit deeper and you get this different - although still excellent - performance with a bigger ensemble combining the forces of Taikoproject with Zenshin Daiko:
There are two DVD collections by Taikoproject, the first is TAIKOPROJECT:(re)generation Special Edition Taiko DVD
. The second, TAIKOPROJECT: Rhythmic Relations 2006 Special Edition Taiko DVD
, features performances by other taiko groups as well as Taikoproject.

Bang a Gong ;)
the same way again after running across a video on
(i think it was) YouPorn
featuring a group of about 25 Japanese women hitting out a
rhythm on the large gongs.
They were all of them naked and so were the guys very close behind them
and by the end of the video their timing on the gongs
was extremely erratic or nonexistent :)
