The old man featured in this clip is 81-year-old Mr Yang Hao Ran 杨浩然 is Singapore's last Han music teacher and the only person alive who knows how to play the Han percussion in Singapore...
We were playing a selection of Teochew and Han (Waijiang) music for the people from Esplanade that day. In Teochew music, both the cello and the double bass are used.
It's nice to see the 鼓板 being played in close-up. He's playing it in a very complex way.

Why is there a double bass and what is it doing there?
