About the Competition
The Young Drummer of the Year competition was put together to give the country’s young drumming talent a national and indeed international platform, which will act as the first steps in their musical career.
The competition has seen tremendous growth both in the number of entrants and the standard of the finalists and the winner is kept busy with past winners making numerous TV and radio appearances, as well as support slots for the like of Billy Ward, Thomas Lang, Horacio “El Negro” Hernandez and Stanton Moore and every winner opens the Drummer Live show in London.
Finalists will have to perform a solo piece and two other pieces with a band on the day. One of these pieces of music is sent to each finalist a few weeks before the finals. The second piece of music will be released at the finals. A five piece kit, hi-hats, 2 crash cymbals, a ride cymbal, stool and hardware will be provided on the day. You may only use your own kick pedal and of course sticks.

Hello and welcome to my new drummers community for the UK. Here you'll find everything that's drum related but my main aim is to help UK bands find a suitable drummer, and UK drummers find the right band for them. Check out my immediate top friends for the 'Wanted' list. (details in blogs). Stay cool.
hey thanx for puttin me in ur top friends, it means a lot :) im guessin it was cuz i was in the top 40 twice lol ?
just wanna say also that it has helped me as a drummer to be able to say that i was ranked within the top 40 of the under 16's Uk drummers 2 years running.. so thanks for that :D
