http://www.drummerlive.co.ukThe line up for the UK's greatest drum show takes place as Cindy Blackman, Nicko McBrain, Jungle Drummer, Steve White, Ronald Bruner Jr., Derek Roddy, Walfredo Reyes Jr., Gerald Heyward, Andrew Small and Wolfgang Haffner all head up the Live Stage artists....And there's still more to come!
October 20th and 21st 2007 are the dates for the UK's greatest drum event, brought to you by Drummer Magazine. Now in its second year at London Docklands' fantastic ExCel Centre, Drummer Live has grown even bigger since last years's record breaking show at the new venue.
Over the two days, Drummer Live will bring you the very latest and best in drum and percussion gear, giving you the opportunity to assess products up close and to get full information from product specialists. As in previous years, there will be many bargains to be had at the show as the cream of the UK's retail outlets display the hottest of gear, all designed to get your playing smarter and better.
On the Live Stage, Drummer Live will see a fantastic selection of international artists including Cindy Blackman from Lenny Kravitz's band. Cindy is also known for her outstanding jazz playing, so expect some serious fireworks when she takes to the stage.
Latin supremo Walfredo Reyes Jr. will bring his unique approach to fusing Latin with other styles.
Ronald Bruner Jr., who blew the roof off last years's Modern Drummer Festival with his extreme left-field approach to funk/fusion, is also going to be rattling the rafters.
Of course you can't have Drummer Live without Nicko McBrain, and as always, Nicko will handle MC duties over the two days and perform his own solo spot.
Derek Roddy, who has supplied insanely fast beats for the likes of Hate Eternal, and others within the speed metal scene, is another new player bringing his wares to Drummer Live. Steve White is bringing in his trio for a set of delicious grooves and fine time-keeping and German groovemeister Wolfgang Haffner will surprise many with his groove and feel too.
Drummer's own Jungle Drummer offers drum and bass on the Live Stage with DJ Fu and M.C.
Stamina cranking the BPM to new levels, Kylie Minogue's Andrew Small will convey how a high profile touring drummer works in such a pressured environment.
Gerald Heyward is jumping in for Ira Colman - had to cancel her appearance for schedule reasons.
Kicking off the two days with the unenviable task of being first onto the Live stage will be Harpal Mudhar, winner of the Young Drummer Of The Year award.
