Tamil school students in Malaysia are continuously reaching remarkable milestones in various fields, including academics, talents, and sports, making both the nation and the Malaysian Indian community proud. In this line of extraordinary achievements, SJKT Batu Caves has once again made history by breaking new boundaries.

In a grand effort to make history, students from SJKT Batu Caves participated in Malaysia’s ambitious attempt to break the Guinness World Record for the largest drumming lesson. A total of 235 students from the school joined this monumental event, which featured oriental drums and was held at the prestigious Bukit Jalil National Stadium on Saturday, September 28.

A total of 4,000 participants from diverse backgrounds came together for the historic oriental drum session, all united by a shared commitment to break the Guinness World Record. Among these participants, 235 students proudly represented SJKT Batu Caves, demonstrating the school’s active involvement in this significant event.

The participants, regardless of their differences, contributed to a collective effort driven by passion and determination. Each participant was provided with a custom t-shirt and the necessary drumming equipment, ensuring that everyone could take part in the event with pride and unity.

The event featured a vibrant array of performances, showcasing the rich multicultural tapestry of Malaysia. Alongside the main drumming session, there were captivating performances representing the diverse heritage of the nation, including Malay, Chinese, and Indian drumming styles. The powerful beats of the Urumi Melam, a traditional South Indian drum, resonated through the crowd, highlighting the distinct rhythm of Indian culture.

In addition to the drumming performances, the audience was treated to a mesmerizing violin performance, Chinese paintings, and energetic lion and dragon dances that added color and excitement to the event. Each performance brought a unique cultural element to the stage, making it not only a celebration of music and talent but also a reflection of Malaysia’s harmonious multicultural spirit.

The drumming lesson, conducted by Shi Yin, was intentionally kept simple to ensure that all participants could maintain rhythm together. This ambitious world record attempt came on the heels of a previous milestone in January, where the organizers earned a place in the Malaysia Book of Records for gathering 508 Oriental drummers.

Students from more than 130 schools nationwide, including Orang Asli children from Negeri Sembilan, took part in this monumental event. However, despite the high level of enthusiasm, some rural schools faced obstacles in securing the necessary equipment and resources for drumming. The event brought together a remarkable diversity of participants, not only in terms of ethnic backgrounds but also in age, with drummers ranging from as young as six to as old as 91 years.

The previous Guinness World Record for the largest drumming lesson, held in Austria in 2019, saw 2,285 drummers. This event, as confirmed by Guang Liang, gathered close to 4,000 participants, significantly surpassing the earlier record and setting a new milestone.
