Master Keyvan Shokouh also reminded the audience of drummers’ rights, as follows:

- All these musicians should be members of the “Music Artists” association, so that the guild can defend its members’ rights.

- Artists should work above ground; there should be no underground music.

- Why shouldn’t musicians and artists have a representative in parliament, so that laws can be passed to improve the state of music?

- The drums come alive alongside the other instruments, and all musicians must work and play well together. Playing in an orchestra is teamwork, and no one should play as a soloist.

- Every orchestra with a good sound has a good drummer.

After Keyvan Shokouh’s remarks, Ashoor Moradian gave a brief overview of the website and noted that any member can send him articles, videos and educational material to be published on the site.

In the middle part of the program, Arash Pajand Moghaddam taught one form of drumming and showed how to play relaxed, so as not to put too much strain on the hands and wrists and avoid problems for the player later on.

Finally, a video of Claus Hessler’s visit to Iran and his teaching sessions was screened.
