As some of you may know (and if you don't click HERE for the full details), Sunday 19 October sees the Beat 2008 event hit the Sheffield Carling Academy.
As well as a host of star drummers the Beat 2008 Young Drummer competition will take place to celebrate the UK's young drum talent. If this appeals to you then you still have until 1 September 2008 to to enter. Full details on how to enter can be found at www.drummersalliance.com. Remember you don't need to go to great lengths to make an audition DVD. As long as it is audible and clear. The organisers have informed us that you can even ask a friend to film it on their phone and then transfer it to DVD. Simple!
