You researching the pop and folk musics of Indonesia. You should searching of the loco tradition from others island are very unique arts / musics of pencak silat. There are all kind of traditions in the world of Pencak Silat, different kind of techniques, different kind of musics of pencak silat.
For example: In West Java it is called Kendang Pencak, many people understand the language of music and magic put together, many of traditions exist in the area of Sundae Land. The sound of Pencak Silat in West Java equals flowing water, the air, the wind, and life viewing the human being as the organ. When the vibration of sound, movements, legs and music hit the ground it turns into energy, which mounts inside the body and in the entire space, room or open space.
When you hit a drum you connect to all kind nerves of the body, all organs of the body will more alive, getting more energy, powerful movements.
