Thong has 23 years of drumming experience and 10 years of coaching experience in this field. In 2016, Thong left Hands Percussion and set up his own FrythmS Academy Institute, with the aim of spreading the art of percussion with the objective to promote everything that is rhythm-based. The academy hopes to spread the art of percussion through drumming; to educate the next generation that drumming is all about attitude and discipline; to nurture more percussionists and audience who appreciate this art. In addition, the resonance produced by the percussion has the power to heal.
