Araura College 

I taught at that College for two years 1986/87, and one of the highlights of the whole Aitutaki experience was the drumming.

Absolutely brilliant, the kids in my class watch this and say they would like to play like you. What great role models for all our kids.

One of the reasons why it's mean being Cook Island!

I love this so much. Those drums always takes me back to the Cook Islands..home. These boys are amazing! When mum Mitiaro mum had her funeral, this was the music we carried her out with. It was loud as and it was amazing.

Would sell my gaming life to learn all this, culture at it's finest!

Aitutaki style drumming is the best the tempo changes the complexity of the beats the flair the rhythm and the alluring deep tone of the bass even the stiffest most Conservative reserved person will succumb to the drums & at the very least start tap their feet which gives away the enjoyment they're trying to hide.

These boys are awesome . There drums brings me back to to the Cooks every time.

10 yrs on, still awesome 👍👌

That is just so cool!! Very proud of you boys!!

As a drummer this is sick! Would love to have one of these

Awesome boys! Very nice to hear and see our culture in full flight,

MEITAKI !! Well done! Loved it.

Great drumming boys. Make some more videos like this. Great to see teenagers enjoying their talent. I may say that you all have great talent. Thank you for this video. Keep on drumming. Peace.

Brilliant boys, Bravo, You guys are so talented, Well done.

Yea that was my favorite school brought back some good memories

How can you dislike, this is kids playing around literally no music notes, its all ear. Cultures something you know nothing of. Bruh this world sometimes

Love watching this with my sons 💚💛hastings n.z

This is drumming at it's best. Tahitian drumming is void of any feeling now. They are all trying to outdo each other. These Aitutaki guys are hot.

Lovin' my culture!

Love them Aitutakian boys! Cute smiles too:)
