You Play A What?

This week on YPAW, I am joined by Benjamin Thia, rugby fanatic, drummer, teacher, percussion repair technician, custom drum maker. I have known Ben for a number of years but never had the chance to speak to him about his career developments over the years and how he now has his hands in almost all aspects of percussion.

In this episode, we discussed his love for rugby, entering fatherhood, his love for all things DIY including renovating his current workspace, his musical journey, how he started his repair services from his own home, Colbern drums and what they offer, his thoughts about the increased number of school percussion ensembles due to the new SYF regulations and some of his thoughts about the development of the jazz music scene in Singapore.

To find more about Ben:

His work at P.Works
His work at Colbern Custom Dums
