On Saturday November 12, 2005, twenty one East Texas drummers met at American Band Instrument's Education Center in Tyler, Texas for the Third Annual Duel of the Drummers competition. The competitors ranged from 12 years old through 23 years old. The competitors were grouped into three age divisions. These divisions were 13 and under, 14 through 15, and 16 and over. Each participant was given not more than 15 minutes to set up (rearrange) the drum set and perform a solo of his choosing. The drum set used for the competition was a profession six piece set. Competitors were allowed to use their own foot pedal, cymbals, and snare drum, if they wished. In addition to the trophies, the winners divided up prizes donated by Pearl Corporation, Yamaha, Toca, Paiste, Zildjin, and American Band. Each of the drummers brought with them their own group of admirers who clapped and cheered them. It was a Saturday fill with great fun for everyone that attended. An estimated 165 people attended the event. |
