A chance to see The Terminator live in concert – complete with Taiko drums – is coming later this year, and the brains behind it chatted with SFB:

I think the biggest concern with us was we were introducing elements like taiko drums: aesthetically they’re incredible, they’ve got a big impact, but would they make sense within the score? And they do. You’re also looking at the percussion section because we had these fifty gallon drums on stage, but every drum doesn’t sound the same unfortunately. Rust can affect it in various ways so you’re making sure that the timbre, that sound, is also carrying through and making sense within the score.
