what song was that called?

[melejy]

if i'm not mistaken it's a traditional Jajin-mori rhythm. they've no specific title for the traditional samulnori music, just certain rhythmic patterns that you can improvise on...

I think I've studied this piece before it's a varation on a traditional samulnori piece, turned into a marching piece. It's really fast if you play it right, which i can't do at the moment. how long have you been playing?

[melejy]

you're right dude! it is the same rhythm they use for marching... often with the whirling ribbon headdress. that whirlyribbon dance is what's really amazing. i just took one or two drum lessons maybe. part of my fellowship grant perks. :) are you a musician?

I have been studying it for the last year, I started playing gwangari this past year. I'm pretty hooked on it, though doing the panguts is really hard. I think the ribbons are called sangmols?
