KL Street Jam - 11 February 2012

Thanks to God for making Kuala Lumpur a very nice place to share the fun with anyone!

As usual, we went down to Bukit Bintang to do a regular street jamming session. It was quite dark because the lights were out (we have no idea why). When we arrived at 10PM, it was raining heavily. Since we were all very excited to drum and dance, we decided to wait in the car till the rain stops. It was like an hour before we step out of the car and start unpacking our drums. There was a police booth at our spot (which we have no idea why it was there as well), but the police didn't mind us making some noise there and having fun with the crowd.

Many people joined us drumming and a lot more went dancing at the middle. This time, more women were dancing than men!

Happy February

Today we did a weekly practice session. It was supposed to be yesterday but we had other things to do so we decided to postpose it to today. Nothing much to share, we practiced a rhythm called 'Kassa'. We are trying to put in as much energy as we can into this rhythm and make it very entertaining for all.

By the way, here is a picture during our performance at Pekan Frinjan.

And of course, there was FIRE!

KLSD doing Kassa

So we tried another west african rhythm called: Kassa!
This rhythm is sooo energetic and fun, we decided to perform this at our next coming performance.

Here's a video of us doing Kassa during our practice session at Drum Simfoni Studio:


The rhythm above will be better if it was accompanied by a dunun player. Unfortunately only our member Azmeer has a dunun set but he couldn't make it to the practice session. A surdo player will do great as well, but everyone was tempted to learn the djembe part. There were many others who came to practice, in the video are only 5 of them which is (from left) Sein, Adi, Bonai, Zufar & Anas.

Don't worry if you missed out our practice session. Drop by any other Tuesday at 8.30PM and we will be there! Many interesting djembe stuffs to learn and share.
