Dino explained about how to make it? Each member must to follow together and make sure the vibration of music must be at same level. He asked some members show an example to the visitors when they are doing a show! He also mentioned, that all members must be hardworking and can practice themselves at their home. When you rest, you just take chopsticks and a plate, then you can try to practice because you need to memorize what your teacher do with you and members!
It help to to enlighten and challenge drummers of all skill levels. Also can learn new material will include additional drumming styles, and will fit into the intermediate to advanced range of difficulty. Every style always be change on every week, depends on the DeafBeat team.
The members welcome the visitors to try play drum with them! They also want to test their own ability to play the drum with their friends.
If you never have experience of drumming or you are beginner, don't worry. DeafBeat team also guide you every step of the way, so you can learn how to play the drums with them until you become one of them!
Percussion can be fun, cool and very impressive. It is very enjoyable when you are playing drum with them! You sure will get the feeling of excitement with vibration of sound inside your heart!

Together with Pusat Majudiri ‘Y’ for the Deaf, CIMB Foundation set up a year-long percussion training programme. This initiative gave birth to a drum troupe comprising the hearing-impaired individuals called “Deafbeat” trained to play the Chinese drums. It is through the vibration of the drums that they are able to follow the rhythm and beat of the music.
