Taku Hirano, one of the top percussionists on the touring and recording circuit, has been referred to by Grammy Award-winning rock legend Mick Fleetwood as the "Secret Weapon" for good reason. Trained in Classical percussion as well as traditional Afro-Cuban, Brazilian, West African, Middle Eastern, Japanese, and Indian styles and instruments, his client list is made up of luminaries spanning practically every genre. He has toured the world with Fleetwood Mac, Whitney Houston, Bette Midler, Stevie Nicks, Lionel Richie, Isaac Hayes, Lindsey Buckingham, A.R. Rahman (Academy Award: "Slumdog Millionaire"), Japanese popstar Utada Hikaru, and with Cirque du Soleil's "Michael Jackson: THE IMMORTAL World Tour." Other performances include Stevie Wonder, Aretha Franklin, John Mayer, Beyoncé, Dr. Dre, Lady Gaga, Annie Lennox, Usher, Pharrell, Shakira, Patti LaBelle, Jennifer Hudsson, Ziggy Marley, Mary J. Blige, Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, and the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra.
