Bayo here. I love music, Anime, and i’m 19 living in NYC. Currently majoring in music/education Tumblr (3.0; @bayoblaze)http://bayoblaze.tumblr.com/<p>In many musical practices there is always a fine line when it comes to gender. Most of the time groups are either all male or either all female. However, when it comes to Taiko, I have not come across any forceful exclusions of females. It is true that this art form is male-dominated, but mix-gendered groups are not uncommon. In fact, in Canada you are more likely to find a female Taiko player!</p>http://bayoblaze.tumblr.com/post/38003781218http://bayoblaze.tumblr.com/post/38003781218Sat, 15 Dec 2012 15:16:43 -0500taiko<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mel36ouWJ11qegm0eo1_250.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mel36ouWJ11qegm0eo2_250.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mel36ouWJ11qegm0eo3_250.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mel36ouWJ11qegm0eo4_250.gif"/><br/> <br/>http://bayoblaze.tumblr.com/post/37451467162http://bayoblaze.tumblr.com/post/37451467162Fri, 07 Dec 2012 22:56:04 -0500<p>yeah me too</p>http://bayoblaze.tumblr.com/post/37451322340http://bayoblaze.tumblr.com/post/37451322340Fri, 07 Dec 2012 22:53:51 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4t1jvpg7U1rxnap4o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://bayoblaze.tumblr.com/post/37389929694http://bayoblaze.tumblr.com/post/37389929694Fri, 07 Dec 2012 01:19:10 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mcgz0kFWyE1qjmc7xo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://bayoblaze.tumblr.com/post/37389917450http://bayoblaze.tumblr.com/post/37389917450Fri, 07 Dec 2012 01:18:51 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_men03m9usf1rqr67jo1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_men03m9usf1rqr67jo2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_men03m9usf1rqr67jo3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_men03m9usf1rqr67jo4_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://gonzaresti.tumblr.com/post/37371384327/cowboy-bebop-the-after">gonzaresti</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>Cowboy Bebop, THE AFTER.</p> </blockquote>http://bayoblaze.tumblr.com/post/37389606413http://bayoblaze.tumblr.com/post/37389606413Fri, 07 Dec 2012 01:11:11 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mebc2aFAlx1rmqax0o1_250.png"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mebc2aFAlx1rmqax0o2_250.png"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mebc2aFAlx1rmqax0o3_250.png"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mebc2aFAlx1rmqax0o4_250.png"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mebc2aFAlx1rmqax0o5_250.png"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mebc2aFAlx1rmqax0o6_250.png"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mebc2aFAlx1rmqax0o7_250.png"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mebc2aFAlx1rmqax0o8_250.png"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mebc2aFAlx1rmqax0o9_250.png"/><br/> <br/>http://bayoblaze.tumblr.com/post/37389500906http://bayoblaze.tumblr.com/post/37389500906Fri, 07 Dec 2012 01:08:42 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lowf5oQ2QY1qiyd8uo1_250.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Jordan Borroughs</p>http://bayoblaze.tumblr.com/post/37389432920http://bayoblaze.tumblr.com/post/37389432920Fri, 07 Dec 2012 01:07:04 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m5mm9bOWFa1rublfmo5_400.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m5mm9bOWFa1rublfmo6_400.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m5mm9bOWFa1rublfmo7_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m5mm9bOWFa1rublfmo1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m5mm9bOWFa1rublfmo2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m5mm9bOWFa1rublfmo3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m5mm9bOWFa1rublfmo4_400.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://d-zwerver44.tumblr.com/post/25113893728/if-he-goes-into-mma-dear-god-inspiration-its">d-zwerver44</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>if he goes into MMA… Dear god!! #inspiration <br/>“It’s a possibility.
