Daiko Mania

Wow.. i very very long nv blog or mention about my past CCA..SINGAPORE POLY DAIKO DRUM TEAM. Its been like 4 mths liao..and i can see the club is not dieing (As forecasted by some people, but rather growing in numbers.) Soo much ups and downs (Mostly ups) during my time there as a daiko player, i will nv forget the good times i had there and the determination to stay on for the FULL 3 years. Well i wish i could go back and see how they are doing , however i know my time there has ended and going back will just create awkward moments. Just as one generation takes over another.. i see the new generation has a lot of potential. But will the potential be tapped on ? Given that this new generation has lost alot of orginal tactics, skill and songs from the past, in Japanese Culture espically the time of those sumuria and ninjas, the newer generation always surpass the older one... however i don;t see that in this group, its seems the standard have been dropping drastically ever since Y.Zhong left. Well...no fears, the only person who can relive the standard of the past is none other then my good friend MZ. The only person among my Joniors who surpassed me in terms of skill and standards. His learns the songs fast, and able to predict the movements correctly.

Well, its really none of my business wheater what happens to them or not. Cause i have already passed on, or rather moving on to greater OR shitter things in life. Then why the Hell im i writing about them again? I ask myself that question..well maybe i have a few lessons left to teach them .. in order to survive in this CCA is one has to have the following

1) Passion, the love to perform, the love for big drums and power

2) Determination

3) Openess

Well.. wishing them all the best.. i'll close this chapter of my life once and for all on this blog. ~Rex out!
