Last year 2007, a number of Soft's Bros and DXS Members here did join the "Drum Challenge".....

1st - They have a Preliminary Round.

There is a Panel Of Judges (Last year judges if I could remember were - Tony Zee, Jimmy Lee, Tan Boon and another I could not remember who).......The drummers will play in a room.....Of all these Drummers who goes to this Preliminary Round ....Last year 12 Drummers were then selected to go into the Semi-Finals (12 each for Under 21-Category & another 12 for Above 21 Category) which the Semi were held at Plaza Singapura (open Stage), it was wonderful.


Semi-Finals
At the Semi, the Drummer 1st play with an accompanying Bassists/Keyboardists ( The Drummer here play Grooves 1st) - then after that he continue to play Solo all by himself - and there is a time for him to play (or else he will go on forever)...hahahaha !


Finals
The 2 Final Semi-Finalists for each Category will then compete at the Finals...Last Year it was at Singapore Drum Festival 2008 at SunTec City Convention Hall.....It's nice.eeeee


and........rest assure there will be Foreign Drummers competing again this year ..... so, my dear Singaporean Drummers especially DXS Members - Do Us Proud Again - The whole DXS & Soft is Behind you


Cheers !

Thanks Bruce for the link... the Drum Off at Guitar Center is almost like a tradition in the US, where young and talented drummers get discovered every year, and a platform for launching their drumming careers.

Here's hoping that the Singapore Drum Challenge one will do the same for our very own local drummers... CHEERS !!!!
 
Thank you USAdrummer and Plainsman!

How exactly do we sign up?
The rules state:"3. All registrations must be submitted via email to the dca@singaporedrumfest.com only. No
other submissions will be accepted. A reply email will notify you." however, there's a registration form on the website itself, so it's quite confusing haha
