Beating Heart and Beating Drum

After I had the chance to see Yamatai at Breakfree, I decided to go see their full performance since I could not forget the powerful performance I got to taste. Once again I was blown away by the unification, energy, and beating of the drums by the team. One thing I have realized after the performance was that my heart was still beating loudly. I never really got to see any of this type of synchronization before, especially how their movement was so precise yet energetic and wild. I am thinking of joining their future workshop, and see how much energy is needed to beat the drum. I am also curious about how they were able to arrange all the different tones created by the drum. The interplay of different pitches of the drums are definitely unique and how they have been arranged to create a piece is amazing on its own. I hope that I will have more chance to see Yamatai performance.
