Ladrang remodelled?

Gamelan is perhaps a percussionists percussion, but my flavour of percussion is more along the lines of Frank Carlson, Buddy Rich, Gene Krupa --- the greats of the swing era.

What I do find to be incredibly clever is the way in which gamelan players are taught.

Some teachers have the ability to sit opposite the pupil & play in a reverse position. Incredible to watch.

Dear Mr. Maisey and Gustav from Ladrang to Gamelan it 's curious to see where it guide us. Very interesting observations and it brings me to the point just find a good ladrang with age that will fit my Keris.

The more i read the more i want to know but also the amount of questions grows.

It's a pleasure to be among so much knowledge and thank you all for trying to clear things for me.
