Jade Drum — Binturong Rain Percussionists Character Sheet

The story of Jade Drum

A fictional story inspired by the artwork.

Jade Drum brings together six binturong percussionists with shaggy dark fur, long whiskers, and expressive curling tails. Jade and navy garments carry gold patterns, ribbons, and tassels. Each performer is framed around a different instrument, which helps give the lineup a sense of movement even where the clothing palette stays consistent.

The instruments offer several kinds of rhythm. Water runs through a chain of brass cups, a mallet strikes a suspended gong, and a hand meets the surface of a frame drum. Other players use a pair of wooden clappers, a woven shaker, and a large drum on a stand. Drops around the instruments connect the separate poses to the same weather.

In their story, the musicians gather outdoors when the first seasonal storm reaches their village. They begin with scattered notes that leave room for the rain to be heard. As the shower grows stronger, the deeper drum joins, and the players follow the changing pace of the water as it runs from the roofs into the street.

The sheet puts gold metal and pale drumheads against a muted green field. A raised tail follows the line of an instrument in several poses, while sleeves and ribbons extend the movement past the hands. The six designs give different roles to the performers through posture, even before the viewer identifies the object each one holds.
