THE
BIG BEAT 2011
The sound
of drums will rumble across North America once again on Sunday,
November 6 as 15 Five-Star member drum shop locations participate in The
Big Beat and raise money for worthwhile causes. Billed as the world’s
largest
multi-city drum set event, last year’s Big Beat drew 1653 drummers
and
percussionists with about 6000 spectators and raised more than $54,000
for charity.
Each city will have a variety of fun events throughout the day, including
guest
appearances by major-name drummers, World’s Fastest Drummer contests
and raffles and giveaways of percussion gear from the industry’s
best-known
manufacturers, with top Big Beat pledge-raisers in each city being awarded
special prizes. There will also be a national raffle with the grand prize-winner
getting a bass drum head signed by Charlie Watts of the Rolling Stones!
But, the highlight of the day will be at 5:45PM Eastern time when all
of the drummers in each of the 15 cities play the same groove in unison.
This feat will be achieved through a video internet connection, with the
director in each city following the conductor in Seattle.
