How long have you been playing drums?
I have been playing the drums for about 5 years now
What do you practice in drums?
I do not limit myself to just practicing the beats that I know, I listen to all types of songs and I try to create my own beats
At the same time, I try to see if better beats can be used on certain songs instead of the beats they are already using.

I watch and listen to drum legends playing
How do you keep yourself spiritually fit?
By spending quality time with the Lord every day before I start the day
Reading His Word and singing praises to Him
Is there any particular drum and cymbal brand you play with?
I do not have a drum kit of my own, I have my own piano
But whenever I am in Church in Melaka, I play the new drum kit we have bought

What advice would you give to young drummers who is serving or intended to serve in the worship department?
Be humble
Even if you are really blessed with the talent, always remember that we are all here to serve the Lord, there is no need for any superiority / showing off
There is always a proper way to send a message across, especially if you are a part of a worship team
Be willing to unlearn and relearn
What do you like to do besides drums?
I love playing the piano
Lastly, in your own words, how would you encourage more drummers to this website?
Whatever that I see currently on the website is very good. Please keep up the good work
I will keep site updated as frequently as possible
Daily updates, news, drum kit forums and so on will encourage more people to be on the site
But as I said earlier, the current efforts are well and good.
