Drums Addict Festival 2010

Drum and percussion fans get ready… this Saturday 5th June is the Drums Addict Festival.

The Drums Addict Festival accomodates some of the best drummers and musicians from all musical styles (rock, jazz, funk, caribéennes, etc) and all over the world.

Drums Addict Festival is an ‘All-About-Drums’ dedicated event offering multiple shows for the audience to attend, spread over an 10-hour schedule. Each show introduces one or more drummers in different musical atmospheres, playing solo or with a band.

What makes Drums Addict Festival unique is interactivity. People in the audience can ask any question to the artists about their career or their technique using wireless microphones. The artists can then answer by a direct demo to illustrate their explanation, which can be detail-viewed on the giant video screen. This is accomplished with the help of our 6 on-stage camera operators who capture the artist’s performance from multiple angles, live-mixed by our production team.

For this the 5th annual beat-off (can I say that?) is:

• Terri Lyne Carrington (USA – drummer for Stevie Wonder, Herbie Hancock, etc.)
• Eric Moore (USA – Infectious Grooves, Suicidal Tendencies)
• Damien Schmitt (France-USA)
• Sonny Troupé (Guadeloupe)
• Pete Lockett (England)
• Ceccarelli Family Tour (France) 
• Pierre-François Dufour (France)
