TaikOz is a percussion - largely taiko - ensemble based in Sydney, Australia.

The ensemble was founded in 1997 by Ian Cleworth and shakuhachi dai-shihan, grand master Riley Lee. The group now features eight performers, all exponents of wadaiko, or Japanese drumming.

TaikOz performs year-round, as well as providing classes to interested members of the public. The ensemble has released three CDs: Taiko No Sekai, Live At Angel Place (a live recording, also released on DVD) and Daichi... Big Earth.

The group has collaborated with leading instrumentalists, including Eitetsu Hayashi.

The group's official website is www.taikoz.com.
