If Jackie Chan was a drummer I have no doubt this is what his performance would look like. This clip was originally part of a program on Korea recorded by Toronto MTV in August 1990 where Korean singer named Jeong Ae-ri and band members performed at Toronto MTV’s studio. The very bored looking Ae-ri obviously has no idea of the show stealing antics happening behind her.
The drummer bangs his head like a hard rocker and jumps up and down, passionately pounds on the drums sporting a Korean flag-shaped sticker. His uninhibited playing steals the show and he upstages the guitarist, keyboardist and female singer.
This vintage TV footage titled "Korean drummer steals the show" became an instant hit on YouTube. The energetic drummer, who gives a unique touch to the footage is Gwon Sun-geun.
According to Gwon, 67, who has since migrated to Toronto, Canada, he debuted as a drummer of Sky Band, a band that used to play on a U.S. Army base stationed in Korea in 1960, and later played with famous Korean singer Shin Joong-hyun for four years from 1964. He moved to Toronto in 1975 with his wife and children. He now plays for the Korean community and teaches drum class in Toronto.
