1. From the remote expanse of the island Sado, located off the coast of Japan, comes an extravaganza so percussive it’ll help you forget all about Muse. On Tuesday, Feb. 5, the Walt Disney Concert Hall hosts Kodo, an ensemble of traditional Japanese percussionists. Their 2013 One Earth Tour finds the heritage of taiko drumming exploring a delicate balance between pounding history and modern nuance. As a wise man once said about something or other, it might get loud. Tickets are still available via the L.A. Philharmonic. At 111 S. Grand Ave., (323) 850-2000
