I followed your link from TaikoForum and I'm glad I did. The essay re: 10,000 hours was very inspirational, as was this one. I'll be passing the link to your essay to my team-mates in hope that they'll read it, too! Best, Jacob Hi, Kris. I followed your link from TaikoForum and I’m glad I did.

I actually find myself re-reading this essay maybe once a week. It's really inspiring for me, and helping me to achieve some goals (even non-taiko related) at the moment. Thanks so much for writing it and sharing it. -Matt KyoDaiko Hi Kris,

I think this is maybe the most influental thing in my taiko playing right now. I actually find myself re-reading this essay maybe once a week. It’s really inspiring for me, and helping me to achieve some goals (even non-taiko related) at the moment. Thanks so much for writing it and sharing it.

Speaking as an amateur, I can only say "In ONE!" Maybe kumidaiko players are at greater risk than other musicians of confusing effort with improvement...so we spend more time rehearsing our mistakes than necessary. Have you read Daniel Levitin's This Is Your Brain On Music? Very interesting and energizing. Thanks Kris!
