Maingay na tinugtog ang gyobanggo isa sa mga uri ng buk (drum o tambol) ng Korea para pasimulan ang okasyon o seremonya para sa pagtatanghal para sa pagkilala sa ambag ni Kim Satgat sa literatura ng Korea. Mula sa wikipedia: Korean drums play an important part in traditional Korean music, ranging from folk music to royal court music . There are a wide variety of shapes and sizes, for use both in accompanying other instruments and in special drumming performances. In the traditional Korean classification of instruments, drums are grouped with the hyeokbu , or instruments made with leather. During the Joseon period, many types of drums were used for the royal court music, including the janggu , jwago , yonggo , gyobanggo , jingo , jeolgo , nogo , and others. Among these, the janggu was also used for folk music, and later became the most commonly used drum used in Korean music.
