This time the two-minute drum solos could be submitted via YouTube, making it very easy to participate and creating a global drums contest.

Not surprisingly, this newly expanded pool of entries gave the jury, Modern Drummer\'s editorial team, a hard time.

Eventually Dogac Titiz from Turkey won in the category over-eighteen, Arthur Kam from Malaysia won in the category eighteen-and-under.

Watch Dogac Titiz\'s winning two-min drum solo:

The song\'s keyboards were composed and played by Gokcer Turan. It was recorded, mixed & mastered by Levent Buyuk at Studio 18.

Watch Arthur Kam\'s winning two-min drum solo, recorded at his personal studio K139:

All other submissions can be found as well at YouTube.

Interviews with both winners and the select drummers who hot honorable mentions, can be found in Modern Drummer\'s Cctober 2008 copy, here in digital form.
