Keith Harris (Black Eyed Peas) served as MC for the day and outstanding local drummers "Lil’ Nick" Smith (age 17) and Trevor "Bud" Lawrence, Jr. (age 4) also performed.
Following the pros' portion of the show, all drummers in the audience were invited to join the artists onstage to take turns in an impromptu jam session — closing the entertaining and inspirational afternoon on a high note for everyone in attendance.
The Experience was sponsored by the Rhythm Alliance, Drum Workshop, Meinl, Modern Drummer, Pro-Mark, Remo, Roland, Shure, Vater and Yamaha who, along with Vic Firth and Zildjian, contributed over $5,000 in product donations for a raffle benefiting the Fernando Pullum Performing Arts High School.
