My name is Cymbal, and I\u2019m a first year Mechatronic Engineering Student. I am writing this as an application for the Swing Rep position. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I am a percussionist with over 13 years of experience on the drumkit as well as around working amongst the percussion team. In the 13 years, I have experiment around various different genre, starting from rock and pop music to jazz and ballad and ultimately to Progressive Metal genre. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some of the achievements of my musical carriers includes the following: First live performance at Hardrock Hotel Bali (2013) Grade 8 Rock and Pop \u2013 Drumkit with a Distinction (2021) Won multiple London Young Musician Gold awards (2021-2022) NCBF Big band Best section awards (2021-2022, 2022-2023) NCBF Jazz Band best section awards (2021-2022) Additionally, I am able to play multiple ATCL diploma level pieces, as well as 1 FTCL diploma level piece. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a percussionist I\u2019ve learnt to perform as a group with others to get the best sound effect there is as a group. Additionally in the Jazz band, I\u2019ve typically got put for the usual percussion equipment like the tambourine, shakers, and bongo. However, I am also capable of playing on the Vibraphone, where I have had to learn the keys changes and the scales, to show off a solo whilst competing with the Jazz Band. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I understand that in Swing Group, the genre that the band typically go for are in the genre of Jazz and Pop, which I am reasonably proficient at in this recent time. If I ever get picked for this position, here are the number of things that I would do to enhance the performance of this band completely: I know what it means for different instruments to produce an exceptional sound so I will be looking at the details that get commonly overlooked at in each individual pieces. I will be asking people to be as arrogant as possible when it comes to performing their solo, but to be as humble as possible when we get of stage. I also will use my performance knowledge to aid the band to make them look grander. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ultimately, my aim is not for the band to make some noise. I\u2019m looking to push the band in a direction where those beautifully played notes will get recognize by the passers nearby, as Swing Group\u2019s. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Do note that I am very limited to my knowledge with regards to jazz music, so I\u2019m open to any request, as long as our current conductor is happy with the music. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I look forward to being your Swing Group Rep.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Swing Group Rep Cymbal Nithimapinan Good Morning, Good Afternoon and Good Evening to those who are reading this!
