Malaysia Drum Day 2022 is a 2-day event where the invited artistes will perform and present their music and experiences throughout their career. Each performance slot will also include a question and answer session. The audience can experience live drum sounds and custom drum setups, see their normal routine in their working environment within musical concerts and productions and learn proper ethics working as a professional musician. To ensure the diversity of knowledge sharing, the selection of drummers are based on their different working background, genre and experiences. Each drummer will definitely present their own unique ideas and concept of performance. Besides the main artiste slots, each day will also feature 2 drummers from music universities and colleges. At the end of day one and two sessions, there will also be a special performance by Aswara's alumni, actively performing in the current music scene. During the event, booths from the common music shops will also display recent music gear and instruments for the audience to try. So, a full day packed with performances and drum talks. But more importantly, there will be many drummers from our music scenes. You can gather, meet new friends, meet your heroes, ask questions, learn and experience live music. This is our day, our Malaysia Drum Day!
