A note from Donn Bennett: DRUMMERS!!! More cool happenings at DONN BENNETT DRUM STUDIO in Bellevue WA!! First, BB King drummer, Tony Coleman is in town and available for private lessons until Jan. 10th. Those of you that attended his clinic a couple weeks ago saw what a diverse and inspirational drummer he is. If you want to get your groove together, work on your shuffles or fine tune your skills Tony is the man for you. He'll be available on Mondays for rest of December and the first week in January. Lessons are $60.00 per hour. Do not miss out on this opportunity to study with one of the greats. Reply or call John at 425-747-6145 to get scheduled. Second, Mark your calendars way in advance cause this is going to be BIG!! As many of you know, last year we set a Guinness World Record for the most drummers playing drumset simultaneously. In the process we raised nearly $30,000.00 to help eradicate Polio. This coming President's Day, Feb. 16th 2004 at the TACOMA DOME in Tacoma WA, WE"RE DOING IT AGAIN!! This time our goal is to TRIPLE our previous record and assemble 1,000 DRUMMERS all playing the drumset simultaneously. The event will be called WOODSTICK 2004. The details are not all final at this point but I can assure you this will be HUGE!! There will be some very , very big name guest artists, fantastic prizes and a truly amazing experience. If you participated last year you know what an awesome sound we created with over 300 drummers. When you take that number and TRIPLE IT we can only imagine what it will be like. It will take a lot of work and a lot of drummers to really make this happen. Please mark your colanders and start spreading the word. I'll be sending out more information as it develops. The great people at Tacoma Rotary are organizing this event and are ready to get you registered RIGHT NOW!! You can go www.rotary8.org , click on the WOODSTICK 2004 logo and you can register right online. We'll be in touch.
