This year\'s cast is Mark Kelso, Rob Brown and Montreal\'s Paul Brochu. There will also be some great special guest musicians performing that night.
Past guest drummers include Larnell Lewis, Jeff Salem, Vito Rezza and Wilson Laurencin.
The show is meant to entertain, educate and inspire drummers and other musicians of all levels and, most importantly, showcase local talent.
The format The uniqueness of the show is achieved by its format: there are three drum kits on the stage, three sets of live music and a closing grand finale drum solo involving all three drummers.
Along with the cast of drummers the show also features some of the best musicians in Canada so Drums Live! is not just for drummers. It’s a show created by musicians for musicians and for anyone of any age that just loves live music.
