May 1st 2020 kaDON Livestream
kaDON News and Updates

Hello Taiko People! We hope everyone is hanging in there. Here's our most recent livestream that was recorded on Friday, May 1st. The highlight of the week was definitely Shogo Yoshii's incredible video featuring the kaDON TimbreTaiko (aka, "kTT"). He uses a loop pedal and MIDI functionality to really display the creative possibilities of the TimbreTaiko. 

Next week's facebook livestream (Friday, May 8th) will include a Q&A session about the kTT. Please send us your questions to info@kadon.com or post a question on one of our social media pages and we will answer them during the livestream! We encourage you to check out our kaDON TimbreTaiko Community facebook group and don't forget that we're offering a $30 discount on all kTT purchases for a limited time!
