All the best popular music that emerged in the twentieth century has one unifying, compelling feature. The beat!
British drum star Pete Cater (in 2015 ranked number 5 in the world) brings all these elements together with a high energy, exciting performance featuring his 16 piece Big Band.
The Great Drum Show features a wonderfully eclectic, wide-ranging repertoire, including new arrangements of classic tunes plus historic scores performed exactly as the composers intended. From Ellington and Basie, via Buddy Rich, Dave Brubeck and Miles Davis, to more modern compositions from the likes of The Beatles, Stevie Wonder, Steely Dan, and Tower of Power, which contain some of the most legendary drum parts ever recorded. Even Glenn Miller gets an updating and don’t be surprised if you hear a moment or two of Led Zeppelin, big band style!
And before you ask, don’t worry; we’re not returning to the dark days of the 30 minute drum solo!
