Drum Cats

It was 29th June,2013 with one of my best buddies in Korea, Usman Ishfaq, i went to see a performance at Myungbo Art Hall near Chungmuro subway station in Seoul. It was a performance by a group of super active ladies in black playing music with drums and presenting as Drum Cats.
The performance was about different styles of drums and beating the drums with somehow differently. As the performers used drums music mainly as represented by the name of event so it was a sort of monotonous performance for me. Although there were various sessions of their performance but all were somehow same as all were only about drums.
Stage was a bit well decorated according to the type of event and lighting and sound system was also good enough. Precision, pace and style was somehow unique and must be appreciated but this whole concept can be used as a whole to attract spectators. I mean to say only drumming can not engage and entertain people for a longer run rather it should be the part of other performances like Korean martial arts, free style dancing or some traditional music mashed up with the modern music.

So the Drum Cat led us to a sort of boredom after sometime.
It was totally a girl show not even a single male performer was there and i think it was a kind of another missing element in the show. Any boy with some free style dancing and showing some b boys moves would have obviously put some spice in it. But it was all girly and all drummy.
There was a violin playing girl who participated in a couple of parts of the show and i think she did her best to make that show a bit changed because of here really good violin music and a few dance moves.

There was also a portion of audience involvement in playing music with a whistle...so cats tried to make something new out of drumming and whistling but not succeeded fully.
During a part of music the cats also tried to make some fun and to be funny but it was simply pathatic and went flat so i suggest not to do it again.

In the end i like to say that it was over drumming that made the show not to be recommended futhur but here i would like to appreciate the hard work of all the girls there as they did their best and their drum beating skills, fitness and style should be motivated.
Do not worry Girlz...it is not because of you...its just the whole concept that did not work exactly.
Using the same power drumming i hope the creative team will make something more exciting, worth seeing and newer soon.

I personally enjoyed the company of my friend as usual so my trip was not bad at all rather an other friends hangout which to memorized forever
