Greetings Mas Yoyog, I'm Aji from Hitstrend Review. I was then contacting Mas Yoyog, for an interview on my blog in Kompasiana, about Mas Yoyog's position as drummer in the Shaggydog band. Here are the questions;
1.(Indonesia)Â
Apa arti instrumen drum bwt Mas Yoyog secara pribadi ?
- Terkadang sangat banyak menghabiskan waktu untuk bermain, sering sekali menjadi tempat meluapkan emosi, emosi apapun, menjadi rekan kerja juga, itu pasti dan kadang gak ingin bermain sama sekali. Persis seperti teman, kawan, atau rekan.
(English)
What does Mas Yoyog's personal drum instruments mean?
- Sometimes it takes a lot of time to play, it is often a place to overflow emotion, any emotion, to be a co-worker too, that's certain and sometimes doesn't want to play at all. Just like friends, friends or colleagues.
2.(Indonesia)
Bagaimana Mas Yoyog melihat posisi instrumen drum dalam sebuah band ?
- Secara fisik ya posisi hampir selalu dibelakang, saya juga kurang tau kenapa harus dibelakang sih. Sifat ritmisnya mendasari komposisi musik, seperti menjadi dasar buat pijakan instrumen lainnya. Ya walaupun instrumen lain juga bisa berirama tanpa drum, dan drum pun juga bisa melodius kalau kita mau.
(English)
How does Mas Yoyog see the position of drum instruments in a band?
- Physically yes, the position is almost always behind, I also do not know why it must be behind anyway. Its rhythmic nature underlies musical composition, as it forms the basis for other instrument footing. Yes, although other instruments can also rhythmically without drums, and drums can also melody if we want.
3.(Indonesia)
Apakah Mas Yoyog ada rencana utk berkolaborasi dgn pemain dari band lain ?
- Sampai saat ini belum ada, atau belum kepikiran, tapi tidak menutup kemungkinan itu. Terakhir proyek Drum Speak dengan Drummer Guyub Yogyakarta (DGYK) tahun lalu kalau gak salah, saya terlibat dalam rekaman komposisi saya sendiri dengan beberapa pemain alat tiup, di album itu juga ada beberapa teman-teman drummer Jogja lainnya.
(English)
Does Mas Yoyog have any plans to collaborate with players from other bands?
- Until now there has been no thought, or not thought, but did not rule out that possibility. Lastly, the Drum Speak project with Drummer Guyub Yogyakarta (DGYK) last year, if I am not mistaken, I was involved in recording my own composition with several blowers, on that album there were also some other Jogja drummer friends.
4.(Indonesia)
Apa cymbal idola Mas Yoyog ?dan jenis drum yang dipakai Mas Yoyog ?
- Sedari awal mulai bermain drum sudah pasti banyak coba merk cymbal, stick dan drum, sampai sekarang kalau cymbal saya suka merk Paiste, kebanyakan yang mempunyai karakter nada tinggi. Sedangkan drum yang saya pakai sekarang produk dalam negeri, buatan South Mountain Drum Craft (SMDC) tepatnya di Wonosari, Gunung Kidul Yogyakarta. Sama seperti custom stick saya juga pilih buatan dalam negeri dari Heartbeat Drumsticks, Bandung.
(English)
What is Mas Yoyog's idol cymbal? And what type of drum does Mas Yoyog use?
- From the beginning I started playing drums, I certainly tried many brands of cymbals, sticks and drums. Until now, if I like cymbals, I like the Paiste brand, most of which have high-pitched characters. While the drums that I use now are domestic products, made by South Mountain Drum Craft (SMDC) precisely in Wonosari, Gunung Kidul, Yogyakarta. Just like a custom stick I also choose domestically made from Heartbeat Drumsticks, Bandung.

Bagaimana anda melihat Musik Shaggydog jika dikaitkan dgn perkembangan musik masa kini ?
- Musik buat saya sama saja, masa lalu dan masa kini hanya bungkusnya saja. Dan bungkus ini yang menjadi pembeda, tapi bukan berarti musik tidak berkembang, musik banyak terpengaruh geografi dan budaya tentunya. Musik Shaggydog jelas impor dari genre musik masa lalu tapi bagaimana kita mengemas dan membungkusnya, dan nyatanya bisa diterima disini dengan budaya dan geografi yang berbeda. Jadi perkembangan musik masa kini dari mana pun asalnya kita siap menyambutnya.
(English)
How do you see Shaggydog music if it is linked to the development of today's music?
- Music is the same for me, the past and present are only wrapped. And this package is a differentiator, but that does not mean music is not developing, music is much influenced by geography and culture of course. Shaggydog's music is clearly imported from past music genres but how do we package and wrap it, and in fact it can be accepted here with different cultures and geographies. So the development of today's music from whatever origin we are ready to welcome it.

Siapa drumer idola Mas Yoyog ?
- Inisisri (SWAMI, Kantata Taqwa, Kahanan), Ronald (Gigi, Dr.PM, Pusakata), Stewart Copeland (Curved Air, The Police, Gizmodrome, Oysterhead)
(English)
Who is the idol drummer Mas Yoyog?
- Inisisri (SWAMI, Taqwa Cantata, Detention), Ronald (Gigi, Dr.PM, Pusakata), Stewart Copeland (Curved Air, The Police, Gizmodrome, Oysterhead)
7.(Indonesia)
Apakah Mas Yoyog,ada rencana utk memasyarakatkan musik Ska ala Shaggydog ? (Membuat drum clinicia ala musik Ska)
- Jujur saya pribadi sama sekali tidak pernah terpikirkan untuk memasyarakatkan sesuatu apapun bentuknya, musik Shaggydog ada karena hasil kreasi kita, dan tak lebih hanya salah satu pilihan untuk pendengar atau masyarakat, bisa saja tidak didengar bisa juga didengar oleh masyarakat, dan itu wujud apresiasi masyarakat yang bebas. Saya tidak menutup kemungkinan drum klinik, kalau ada yang ingin mengajak kerjasama saya siap.
(English)
Is Mas Yoyog, there are plans to promote Shaggydog-style Ska music? (Making drum clinicia in the style of Ska music)
- Honestly, I personally never thought of promoting anything in any form, Shaggydog music exists because of our creations, and is no more than just an option for listeners or the public, may not be heard or can be heard by the community, and that is a form of community appreciation which is free. I do not rule out the possibility of drum clinics, if anyone wants to invite cooperation I am ready.
8.(Indonesia)
Apakah Mas Yoyog ada rencana utk berkolaborasi dgn drummer luar negeri ?
- Siapa yang tidak mau berkolaborasi? Jelas saya mau, ingin sekali. Tetapi hubungan seperti itu bukan hal yang mudah, jarak salah satu faktornya, ya ada internet, cukup membantu sebenarnya. Semoga kedepan bisa terjadi ya.
(English)
Does Mas Yoyog have any plans to collaborate with foreign drummers?
- Who doesn't want to collaborate? Obviously I want to, I really want to. But such a relationship is not an easy thing, distance is one of the factors, yes there is internet, quite helpful actually. Hopefully in the future it can happen.
9.(Indonesia)
Apa yg Mas Yoyog lakukan saat senggang ?
- Sama seperti orang-orang kebanyakan, menghabiskan waktu bersama keluarga, atau belajar mengolah kayu dan besi di workshop.
(English)
What do you do when you are free?
- Just like most people, spend time with family, or learn to process wood and iron in workshops.
10.(Indonesia)
Apa pengalaman menarik Mas Yoyog sebagai drummer,selama berkarir di Shaggydog ?
- Yang pasti saya mendapat banyak pengalaman yang sedikit banyak mempengaruhi cara saya bermain drum, cara saya berinteraksi dengan musisi lain, bahkan cara saya bersosial dengan siapa pun. Proses belajar saya berbarengan dengan proses berkarir Shaggydog dan itu pengalaman yang menarik buat saya. Beberapa pengalaman jadi lebih menarik bersama Shaggydog saat kita gigs di luar negeri, cukup membuka wawasan baru dan tak terlupakan.Begitulah sesi interview siang saya yang menyenangkan dengan drummer band ska ini. Sampai jumpa lagi.
(English)
What was Mas Yoyog's interesting experience as a drummer, during his career at Shaggydog?
- To be sure I get a lot of experience that more or less influences the way I play drums, the way I interact with other musicians, even the way I socialize with anyone. My learning process coincided with Shaggydog's career and it was an interesting experience for me. Some experiences become more interesting with Shaggydog when we gigs abroad, enough to open new and unforgettable insights.
That was my fun afternoon interview session with this ska band drummer. See you again.
