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 .

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.
