Korean drumming, aka Pungmul or Samulnori, has been developed from agricultural society of Korea. Traditionally, Korean use drumming to encourage labor force, to unify community, and to celebrate their ritual. Vong Pak’s Korean Drum Workshop still carries the Korean drum spirit, and it focuses to engage with our New York neighborhood. Music is fun! Music is a language and strong communication tool! We listen each other, know each other, and encourage each other in the Korean drum circle! The workshop is open for every ethnic, religion, and gender and politic. The workshop is for the fundamental and practical technique for beginner. Each participant will learn basic theory of Pungmul and Korean percussive instruments, such as Janggu (hour glass shaped drum), Jing (large gong), Kwenggari (small gong), and buck (barrel drum).
