Collaboration with multi-percussionist Pete Lockett since 1996 .

A unique fusion of world music traditions featuring an awesome array of drums, cymbals, gongs, bells and customised sound effects, merged into a compelling and rhythmically dynamic soundscape.

Gripping and powerful taiko rhythms blend with the intricate finger rhythms of the Indian tabla and Arabic framedrums. The warm tones of the Shakuhachi (Japanese bamboo flute), and Japanese folk singing are supported by the driving grooves of the African djembe, Cuban bongos and mesmerising phonetic rhythms from South India. The show has over 40 drums on stage, and features two of the most versatile multi-instrumentalists in the UK.

The show has performed to packed houses all over the world including the Edinburgh Festival, Bruges Festival, Rhythm Sticks Festival at the Royal Festival Hall in London, Drumusique Festival in Kuala Lumpur, Glasgow One World Festival, Pontardawe Festival, Belfast Festival, Guildford Festival, Newbury Festival. The show was also broadcast live on the internet from the Edinburgh Festival.

Their live album "Taiko to Tabla(1998)" was recorded at the Bruges festival in Belgium.
