Legendary master drummer Kim Duk Soo and members of the SamulNori
Hanullim percussion ensemble from South Korea will lead a special
masterclass at UC Davis, as part of their 2014 U.S. tour. In
1978, Kim Duk Soo was one of the founding members of a quartet
named SamulNori, that went on to inspire a new genre of
percussion music (samulnori) and spark a renaissance in South
Korea’s music scene. The quartet garnered worldwide acclaim and
toured extensively in Europe, the United States, and Asia
throughout the 1980s.
