The Drumming Takahina

I'm slightly pissed off today.

By what?

2 issues... actually, mainly 1 issue pissed me. But whatever.

Let me get to something which i found out first lah. Takahina has realised on how VAIN he could be. Let me just elaborate.

Firstly, you guys know I have the recent drum performance that has both dry run rehearsal outside the sch which actually could be counted as a mini performance and also the main performance period right?

Well, I think I've been rather... enthusiatic about it, and thus so the enthusiatic me began advertising on it... for at least round 3 weeks before hand. My purpose? Naturally to let people come and see my drum lah. I'm the drumming Takahina leh! However, Takahina also know that the performance is just a short little 2.41mins + shit which doesn't deserve some ppls time to come and watch! They can just stay at home do shit, i don't care. So, i said...

"Come if you all want to lah... I don't care."

But then hor, I care... ALOT.

This proves of how vain I am.. So how? Only can "hope" in my heart they actually come lah. Alas, none of them turned up. So how? Can only silently bui song. But still, this feeling hor, is a very bad one. So how? Reflect on my vainness.

Well, "The Drum Ensemble Guys", thats the name which the host of the concert gave, includes of Tian Wei, Fredrick, Melvin and of course Takahina with Takahina being the main leader.

People in background: KAO PEI AR! NEED TO WRITE YOU BEING MAIN LEADER MEH!?

Takahina: I shuang leh! How?

Anyway, the mini-performance dry run rehearsal was conducted today at suntec 3.30pm.... was supposed to be at 3.30pm but due to some disorganisation, it was delayed to 4.15pm. With performed our drum ensemble and it was ok... I guess. Jimmy wasn't too happy though, our timing grew faster as the drumming went on. People who knows how to hear and play instruments will naturally notice of it, but then for those who don't, it didn't sound too bad. Still, jimmy somewhat coerced us to return back to the studio and RETRAIN the whole damn song. What to do?

RETRAIN LOR.

Anyway, we reentered the studio, and began again. But our training only gets worse lah... Our timing was off and the solo was somewhat horrible. But then, it was somewhat too late to think of any better ways to savage it, hence we jus continued with our crap.

Soon after, Jimmy once again coerced us to go perform a second time again! So, bo pian lor... went for it.

It got worse.

Those unknowing crowds don't know lah, but then hor, to us and also to those jammers, our mistakes were obvious. Tian Wei's, Melvin's and my solo went out of the timing and once again our tempo were on the increase. And lastly, the cresendo was not sharp plus not tight. Thus it was like hearing an asshole pumping down shit like it's a machine gun.

pliack pliack pliack.

Not too happy. But whatever lah, get it over with.

Ok, performance thingy aside. The holidays are here and since i'm short of money, I thought of like work to get some dough. Luckily, due to the performance of my music sch, it needs part timers to help out with selling and arrangement of the instruments. I opted for it, partly with the help of my mother since she is the colleague of the sister of the principal of the school.

And, easily, i got the job. The pay is reasonable and I like the timing, plus it can help me like gain knowledge of the instruments I'm going to sell, very nice and ideal for me.

PIB: How about your arcade drums?

Hah, not too good as well. Frankly, arcade drums hor at times good at times suck. But those in the end are just FAKE drums. FAKE.

Hmmm... well, i'll repost the timing of the actual performance again. And ONCE AGAIN, I'll stress that it's not neccesary for you to come, i'll just be a little sore that's all. After round a day or 2 i'll be fine le.

Venue: Suntec Lvl1, just below Toy' Rus.
Time: 2pm is the start of the whole thing. I perform at round 3.30.
Duration: Whole thing will be 3 hours. But my performance should be only 2.41mins.

Ok? UNDERSTOOD?

Good.

Next time then I'll start complaining. Now, I'll just keep on sulking on my lack of supporters.
