Drummama/Drumpapa

Couple of years back, I saw a prog on TV, showcasing some of the activities that Korean ladies in their 50’s and 60’s do for their recreation. Some breakdance, some hiphop, some play soccer, some pounding away on large drums etc . I find the latter interesting. Was wondering if we in SHC could form such a group of drummers. The drums used are similar to those big drums used by the “bigheads” whn they go tomp cheng, tomp cheng, tomp tomp cheng..But of course those ladies play a differenct music score.

Playing such drums is good exercise. Arm muscles get toned, thereby keeping the ugly “wings” at bay..:-)
Also very good for destressing..just paste a pic of whatever is stressing u on the drum and u jus hit it hit it hit itwith your sticks..:-)))

Do we hve among us, a group who are interested in this drumming exercise?
Do we hve among us, someone who knows someone who can lead us in this drumming exercise?

just drumming my thots….:-))

  2. Hi June,

    This drumming seems exciting! I am keen to join, you mean can hammer away those whom we have a distaste?

    Perhaps, can get Daniel Kang to help. Understand he play the drum! Really, can benefit as a form of exercise?

    Picture a grp of 20-30 SHCians, somewhere along the east coast beach, early morning, on weekends, in the shade, each with a drum in front of him/her, practising. Pam pam pak, pam pam pak, parampam parampam pak…:-)))…and after session, all pink and sweaty…fats burned…then all go for char kway teow with lots of lar pok!!!…:-))))…

    Isn’t the drumbeat catchy? Well, the drum is definitely not the kind that I was thinking of initially. But this one is good as it is easily portable!

    Once I hve feedback on facilitator/instructor, costs etc etc ..will put on this post to gauge your interest.

    If we can start soon, maybe yearend our grup can perform at Orchard road…..and we can give performances during the Arts festival etc etc…show off what we silver hairs can do man!!!!….Dream Dream Dream..whn I feel blue .:-)
