youtube drumming competition - win a drum set and accellerate your drumming career

By kevin | July 30, 2008

I’ve just discovered a brand new contest, where you can win a trip to Hollywood

This is one just for US Drummers, so living in Australia I can’t enter this personally - but if it was here its certainly something I’d be into.

If you do live in the US - all you need to do is head down to your local Music Store (one that is a Dixon dealer) and record a short video of yourself playing a brand new Dixon Demon Drum Kit.

The public will vote to decide the top 6 entries to be submitted to an A&R panel in Hollywood who will declare a Grand Prize winner. The Grand Prize winner will win a 3-day/2-night trip for two to Hollywood, CA and perform with studio musicians live in front of an A&R panel at a major recording studio! The performance will be filmed and featured on the A&R Channel on television! The winner will also get to talk music and drums with the execs. Five other talented, inspiring drummers will get free gear from Dixon.

All entries must be completed and submitted by 11:59:59 p.m. ET on September 27, 2008 to be eligible for public voting and the final judging.

In addition, Dixon will present the Grand Prize winner with a Dixon Outlaw Series 7-piece drum set and a full complement of hardware (ARV: $10,000). The five runner-ups will each receive a Dixon snare drum (ARV: $300). Be sure to check out the full contest rules so your video is submitted properly and gets posted for voting.

The best thing about this is that its not a mainstream type competition - Anyone can do it, and it could be a fantastic break for you to get kick started in your drumming career.
