I was kind of excited when I heard about learning how to play drums, and it ended to be a very interesting experience (not because my hometown was shown in their presentation! but if you want to know where it was, just ask ^^). We’ve been taught how 優人神鼓 (you1 ren2 shen2 gu3) way of playing drums was related to their way of life.
Close to the nature, close to yourself, one part of the whole to find your true self.
Play the drums like your heart beats, loosen up when the stick hits.
Only then, you can start playing the drums in “your harmony” (在自己寧靜中打鼓).
For that 優人神鼓 members train in the mountain: martial arts, dance, drums,… What the relation with the nature gives them is their inspiration.
Playing the drums is a present thing, not in the past nor in the future, and as it’s been said : “Yesterday is History, Tomorrow is a Mystery, Today is a Gift, that’s why it’s called Present”, it was really a gift for us.
- Starting with relaxing to feel the body
(before lunch - relaxing before lunch is really important : stretch out the stomach to eat well ^^")
(after lunch )
- Stretching out to reduce injury! (Do not laugh !!!)
- And then sleep… -__-“ ah no, concentrate !
