Just to share...
(1) The place was (not too far walking distance from the Bona Vista MRT Station.)..I would say it's about a 5 to 7 minutes walk only.
(2) The people (who rent us the place - especially Bernard himself) are exceptionally nice - just like ambience of the place & the entire building. Bernard will be there on the day to open-up the place & close-it up for us.
(3) The nicest feeling I had was really - nothing more than being able to meet-up in person with fellow Bros here eg rla, drumhobbiest & rla....we had a great chat....it was simply great talking to fellow drummers here in Soft - while sipping away my Kopi-O (oh.hhh I had 2 cups that night) :lol:
(4) With the nice cosy ambience room, convenience of location & appropriate environment (we can put the drum kit in the centre - surround it with chairs for this get-together), and the very reasonable charges for our rental for the place (even accessible to us in the future should we want to organise such events on a Monthly, Bi-Monthly or Quarterly Basis - after this 1st-meetup among ourself), and an Auditorium there (should we want to organise some form of Clinic in the future) - This is a place we must try it out.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Core Purpose Of This Meet-up/Getogether
(1) Sharing Our Drumming Passion Together Here In Singapore
No Drum-Battling, just Sharing Drumming Experience within the Drumming Community here in Singapore. Getting ourself more involve, motivated and inspire each other regardless of whether we are entirely New To Drumming With No Drumming Experience, Beginner, Intermediate or Advance Drummer to Professional Drummers
I guess we are lucky too here in Singapore (as it is small), meet-up of any sort does not pose major problem unlike in the US where it's so huge (many probably have to fly there to meet-up if there is such a thing)..cause it's convenience here and we should reap the advantage to get to know our fellow drummers better.......As I have always feel (and it's true)....that we all need to get to know each other better in person to feel the personal touch & enhance our drumming community relationship/spirit rather than (just communicating within a forum for years and never really know each other as this can never never build a close personal relationship within each other.)
Bassists, Lead-Guitarist, Keyboardists never had such closely-knitted kind of relationship as we Drummers does in the many parts of the world...and in Singapore - we can easily make this happen better...can we ? (why not), should we? (yes of course). At the end of the day - We are not just a Cyber-Family Of Drummers, We are here for real and as a matter of fact - A Body Of Family Of Drummers Here In Singapore. It will be nice.
I hope, all of you can try to come.....I am really looking forward towards this comming event (and futuire ones too)....but our organising commitee is really very new to this and will try our very best - hoping that each and everyone attending will gain a wonderful experience through sharing besides building better friendship/relationship through this comming event....Nevertheless...we will try our best and we know and believe that with more of such events in the future - it can only get better for everyone of us...
We really appreciate if you could all join in....Thank You all and cheers my fellow Bros.
