The Adams Drumworld festival isn\'t that difficult with booking artists. When Thomas Lang cancels his performance, you just book Steve Gadd to take his place. On September 12, 2010, the seventh edition of the drum store\'s festival takes place in Ittervoort in Holland. For the Dutch another change to see Gadd perform after his \'Mission from Gadd\' clinic tour and his performance on the North Sea Jazz festival this year. For non-Duchies another reason to come over for a complete drum day with big names on the schedule.
