Youngsters packed Canvey's Paddocks Community Centre to see a troupe of top Japanese drummers show off their skills.
Pupils from Furtherwick Park Cornelius Vermuyden, and Castle View turned out for Taiko drumming sensation Mugenkyo.
The British-born musicians went down a storm.
The band spent two years perfecting their skills on the west coast of Japan, the centre of Taiko drumming.
Arts development officer for Castle Point, Isabelle Lines said: "The concert was fantastic and the musicians put on a great show. It was an absolute sell-out and everyone enjoyed it.
"The children all loved the concert and we hope to arrange other arts events in the future."
