THE beating of the drums simply captivated the audience in a packed hall in Berjaya Times Square Kuala Lumpur.
Perhaps what is more touching is that the drummers – Deafbeat – is a group of youngsters with impaired hearing. But their condition did not stop them from pursuing their hobby and becoming a source of inspiration to others as well.

They came from Pusat Majudiri Y for the Deaf YMCA Kuala Lumpur, which provides programmes and services for the deaf and their families with the aim of improving their situation, especially in terms of self-reliance. The centre’s assistant secretary (deaf work) Morley Ng said Deafbeat, comprising nine members, practised twice a week and each session was two hours long.

“They are very determined youngsters,” she added.
Ng said members of Deafbeat, which would turn 10 next year, hold full-time jobs and have their practice sessions at night. Their determination and perseverance in putting up a good performance has resulted in recognition both at home and abroad. Ng said companies and organisations locally and abroad had invited them to perform at their events. Deafbeat just returned from a trip to Europe recently, she added.

Last Thursday, Deafbeat put on a stunning performance at the Atomy Malaysia opening at Berjaya Times Square and wowed the audience, including Atomy founder and chief executive officer Park Han-gil. Park handed a mock cheque of Atomy's RM100,000 donation to the centre to its deputy chairman Francis Kraal after the opening ceremony.
