Taiko drum rock band BATI-HOLIC is based in Kyoto, Japan. Their most outstanding feature is the use of the Wadaiko (Japanese drums) / Electric Shamisen (Japanese banjo) / Gottan (Japanese wooden banjo) in their instrumentation, and the adding of Vocal. The group’s unique style is influenced by Rock, Pops, HR/HM, Funk, Reggae, and Trance, and they combine these elements into their original style. They have provoked a great response around the world because this is the music “generated only in Japan”, having great appeal to the world as a Taiko team from Kyoto city, a cultural capital of Japan.
