Description:

I was recommended to go the "Saxaphone Club" by a drummer (Boonya) in Bangkok to see some of the best drummers in Thailand. Boonya didn't show up as promised but I'm glad I did. For the first time, I'm up close with these Thai drummers. Managed to catch 2 of 'em "Beng" and "Dun" in action. The video here shows Dun playing a drum solo. Dun also demonstrates a single handed roll (using the rim as the fulcrum). Amazingly the roll looks clean here. (heard rim clicks and unevenness while looking from behind) Dun is said to be one of the best in Bangkok. I can attest to the fact that he's got a great groove going on especially in his Jazz playing. I could learn a lot from him! ..and there you have it. Thanks to my dad for recording this video. I was too busy watching from behind the drummer!
