Bill Hemstapat
Poeng Mang is one of the coolest drum set Thailand has to offer. They are set of 7 leather faced drums played by hands of Mon origin. These drums are tuned to their desired pitch and tones by stretching the leather faces and applying a mixture of kneaded cooked rice and ash to the center of one face. The tuned drums are tied together and hung in order of pitches on a semi-circular wooden framework called Khok Poeng. And because of these 7 drums, Poeng Mang became the only drum(s) that can play melody along with other instruments!!

Using Poeng Mang in a score has been a pipe dream of mine for a long time. But in Hurts Like Hell, we got TWO! One of the highlights of the score is using the two sets to loosely represent teo boxers fighting for their lives in the ring in the form of trading solos. (as you can see in this video)

Hurts Like Hell soundtrack is now available on all streaming platforms.
