Drumming is my Life | Kodo Story

Great story, amazing dedication and skills by the artists! Maybe you can think about shortly mentioning in the narration that this is a new channel. I think that many people (who are not hardcore GO-followers :)) still don't realize that and may think that they are already subscribed.

2020-08-30 08:30:29 +0000 UTCThanks Kerry. I’ll decide if I’ll do some re-edits in an hour. Some great suggestions and the opening drone shot of the water — does that look choppy to you? Right after the map scene.

2020-08-30 08:28:10 +0000 UTCPrecision, at it's best.....even Cozy Powell would be impressed and possibly inspired by them👍

2020-08-30 08:25:06 +0000 UTCHey John, if I had my editor's hat on, I would like to suggest the drone at 19:44 be taken out and dropped in at 23:42 to break up your two POVs. Just a suggestion of course!

2020-08-30 04:26:57 +0000 UTCI think the title is hard for this one. I want to look at the big picture but in few works. The title should grab attention and make people who don’t know me click to discover the content. But I like this. Keep it simple :)

2020-08-30 03:12:34 +0000 UTCSuch a beautiful video, John! Thank you for giving us this early preview. How about keeping the title simple; Taiko Drummers of Japan | Kodo’s Earth Celebration? Maybe that’s a bit long actually..😅 But, whatever you go with I’m sure will be great.

2020-08-30 03:11:06 +0000 UTCYeah, it’s longer than usual but I’m apt to let it go a little. It goes with the music which makes it easier to do.

2020-08-30 03:10:48 +0000 UTCIt’s in the description. I expect people watching this for years beyond the pandemic.

2020-08-30 03:08:27 +0000 UTCGreat, John. Just realized that taiko music doesn't use cymbals, like the one heard in shishimai performances. As for the title..because Sado island pretty looks like a butterfly, maybe "Drums of the Butterfly", or "Beat of the Butterfly"?🤔 By the way, at the end of documentary, is that Chelsea you holding? if its her, than she's having her last goodbye then😅

2020-08-30 02:24:11 +0000 UTCThat was great! No mention with a small message on screen it was 2019 for all the numbnuts that will whine about masks or missing out on a festival even though they’re not able to travel? 😂 Seriously, really good footage & backstory, man the discipline, they should call them the Kodo stables!

2020-08-29 22:57:49 +0000 UTCGood job, nice flow to the story. 👍Who says you need special effects in your videos to make them good? Lol

2020-08-29 22:21:27 +0000 UTCThat was wonderful, loved it all, and as always such interesting commentary too. I’d love too see the guys in the loin cloth beating the drum as the thumb nail, and perhaps the title of “the heartbeat of Sado”. So glad you introduced me to this last year too. Thanks John

2020-08-29 21:57:37 +0000 UTCTruly inspirational 😃 Thanks John.

2020-08-29 21:53:12 +0000 UTCI have seen the go video's around this Kodo performance. So cool to see it back!
Edo van Deest
2020-08-29 21:13:12 +0000 UTCExcellent! The story was compelling and inspiring. Indeed, Kodo's history and the rigors of a performer's life was fascinating. I loved the quote, “Your lifestyle becomes your performance.” As usual, your craftsmanship was topnotch. The drone shots were magnificent, though perhaps a few too many (I counted six) and each a bit too long. But I doubt if others will notice. Anyway, I enjoyed the video immensely. Thanks for sharing.

2020-08-29 21:00:15 +0000 UTCAppreciate that you can bring us this look inside Kodo and the stories that make them who they are! Like how you told the story. Title suggestion, Kodo: Inside the Beats/How Drumming Changed My Life.

2020-08-29 20:39:48 +0000 UTCGreat job John! Your love and respect of Kudo shows and deservingly so. Thank you for sharing and caring❤️

2020-08-29 20:36:17 +0000 UTCHi John, Just a couple of suggestions. Instead of Drumming I would use Taiko Drumming and perhaps use Heartbeat somewhere, since KODO means heartbeat as well as children of the drum..

2020-08-29 20:31:16 +0000 UTCThat came out great! Watching the strength and precision of the performers is mind blowing.
Brendan Walker
2020-08-29 20:29:17 +0000 UTCYou can really feel they put their heart into every drum beat. Very moving!
