Young drummer steals the show


IPOH: Eight-year-old J. Shamani, the only girl and probably the youngest ever in the event, was the centre of attraction, as she did not miss a beat and kept in sync with her fellow performers during a record-breaking feat for the most participants playing Indian drums non-stop for 30 minutes.Shamani, from Hutan Melintang in Bagan Datuk, vigorously hit on the Parai Tappu Melam (drum instrument) under the scorching sun.

She was part of the 380 participants from several states in the country who came together to perform in the event in conjunction with National Day and to attempt to make their way into the Malaysia Books of Records (MBR).
