Las Vegas Kaminari Taiko

Las Vegas Kaminari Taiko teaches Japanese taiko drumming to kids and teens ages 6 to 17, split into a 6 to 12 class and a 13 to 17 class, at its studio at 5240 South Decatur Boulevard, Suite 8.

The program offers a youth class, a teen class, private lessons, and workshops, so families can pick a group setting matched to their child's age or arrange one-on-one instruction instead. Classes meet in a dedicated rehearsal space rather than a shared multipurpose room, which matters for a drumming program since taiko requires room for full-body movement and large drums.

Studio hours are narrow and specific: Wednesday from 6 to 8:30 PM and Sunday from 11 AM to 6:30 PM, with the studio closed the rest of the week. That schedule suggests classes and private lessons are clustered into those two days rather than spread across the week, so families should plan around a Wednesday evening or Sunday time slot.

The program runs year-round. For class schedules, private lesson availability, or pricing, call (702) 483-0913.

The studio is in the 89118 zip code, and instruction is conducted in English. Taiko is a less common activity in this directory compared to standard music lessons, and the combination of a youth class, a teen class, private lessons, and workshops suggests the studio can accommodate a first-time student trying a workshop as well as a returning student building skill through the ongoing weekly class. Workshops appear to be a separate offering from the ongoing youth and teen classes, which suggests families can try a single workshop session before committing to the weekly class structure, a useful option for a family unsure whether taiko is the right fit for their child before signing up for an extended term.
