original description

A drum like a Korean traditional big drum called as "DaeBuk (Dae: big, Buk: drum) or KeunBuk" is assumed to become the oldest musical instrument that has been used from the prehistoric era. In ancient times, this percussion had been played at every ceremony to cheer up the folks in the festival or holy ceremony and also in the battlefield to encourage soldiers' fighting spirit against the enemies. A Korean traditional style of playing a big drum makes you realize how TaeGeuk (harmony of Eum & Yang) theory can be concretized with various sounds and a player in a drum play. A big drum has a philosophical meaning of reporting the voice of animated lives covered with the skins on the ground to the heavens and making them enlightened by its sound. In addition, beating the skin of a drum is said to be a metaphor of encouraging them to realize which illusions they have and then make them eliminate. It's quite similar to one of the ideas, TahTong (Tah: to beat, Tong: flow) in GiCheon beating trainees not only to help the Gi well circulated in the body but also to make them realize its behind meanings
