Bounty, who is the son of Indonesian musician Thomas Ramdhan, was informally introduced as the band’s new drummer by Sheila on 7 frontman Akhdiyat Duta Mojo at the festival according to reporting by CNN Indonesia. Addressing the crowd, Akhdiyat said, “Here’s the son of one of my idols, clap you hands for Bounty Ramadhan on the drums!”
The band have not officially confirmed Bounty’s appointment, but Sheila on 7 manager and bassist Adam Subarkah hinted in an interview before the show to Detik that their new drummer would hopefully be introduced at the show, and would not be an additional player from the cast of musicians the band have worked with previously.
Akhdiyat also revealed that Sheila on 7 guitarist Eross Candra had written several new songs for the band during the pandemic. “I’m still waiting for the tracks, Eross has been keeping the songs he wrote over the past two years secret,” he shared, adding, “So let’s just wait and see what he has in store for us.”
