JAKARTA - In a D'Masiv appearance at Scream or Dance last year, Rian once expressed his pride for the band's 20-year consistency without changing personnel.

Given that many bands face conflicts with their personnel who then come out and even disband, Rian's pride in D'Masiv is not excessive. They have gone through many phases together, from the festival band to achieving great success and becoming a top music group with a wide fan base.

Regarding the band's personnel who have never changed, Rian said that the habit of the players with meaning together on one table is an effective way.

"We always eat at the same table," said Rian D'Masiv when met in Sudirman, Central Jakarta recently.

"There are no examples to this day. If you go on tours out of town or abroad, you always take the time to eat together or culinary together," he continued.

According to Rian, sitting together at the dining table is the beginning of many good things that D'Masiv goes through. Starting from there, D'Masiv personnel exchanged ideas a lot.

"In every city we have time to eat together. There we like to talk about something, many things, also talk about our dreams in the future," said the man with the full name Rian Ekky Pradipta.

"So, things have never changed until today," he said.
