From Taiwan, Ju Percussion Group, after thirty years, its footprints have crossed the world, using its music to convey and touch on innumerable emotions and memories. Praised and received with adoration not only by local Taiwan audiences, but international once as well. On January 2, 1986, the Ju Percussion Group was established. In retrospect, but also looking ahead, from the basic instinct of the original heartbeat, embracing the passion to be consistent to the end ; practical progress, unending encouragement, embarking on a more refined, deeply etched, expansive and professional journey. Sharing the emotions of the rhythm, let percussion transform itself to be an unyielding source of creative energy and the medium of cultural exchange, and let the cultural art of Taiwan unleash its emotional furor to become a catalyst of energy whose vibration touches the world.

朱宗慶打擊樂團成軍時，台灣民眾對於打擊樂甚為陌生，樂團以超倍速的步伐，敲響各大城鎮，使打擊樂從冷門變熱門。樂團一方面往下扎根開發潛在觀眾，另一方面也努力與跨界藝術合作，挖掘擊樂潛能。為打造樂團多面向的風格，朱宗慶打擊樂團每年透過大型演出與全新製作，來展現創意、承襲經典、遵習傳統、融匯東西。因此，團員熟稔西方擊樂之餘，還得學習京劇鑼鼓、醒獅鑼鼓、南北管音樂等東方擊樂元素，而發表、首演新作，也成為樂團音樂會的另一特色，不但是少數設有駐團作曲家的藝術團體，更每年委託國內外創作，累積現代的聲音。
