Published: MEA
UAE: Melody House has successfully hosted the first drum off competition in the region. The event, which had some of the audience watching from outside the venue due to its popularity, showcased the wealth of talent in the country.
Drummers in the competition included a mix of professionals and aspiring performers. Although majority of the drummers were male, two female contestants made a stunning attempt at bagging one of the three prizes. The top three contestants received a Pearl MCX Masters Premium birch snare, a Pearl Demon Drive Pedal, Vater drumsticks and Sabian cymbals.
‘The competition was an amazing opportunity to see how much talent there is out there, we had kids who were eight and 10 that blew us away,’ commented Dino Drimakis, business development manager at Melody House. ‘Such events are a fantastic way to connect with the community and help musicians connect and inspire each other. We cannot wait for the next competition!’
