Yamaha Drums are once again looking for amazing drummers aged 18 or under to apply for their fantastic competition, Yamaha #FUTUREBEAT! #FUTUREBEAT is a UK-wide drumming competition that offers a mouth-watering array of prizes, unique performance opportunities and maximum exposure.
Last year, over 200 drummers applied for #FUTUREBEAT, showcasing 50 of the UK’s most talented young drummers. The six Grand Finalists were treated to one-to-one mentorship sessions with a distinguished panel of judges, comprising of world-class Yamaha Drum Artists Troy Miller (drummer for Amy Winehouse, Laura Mvula), Steve White (drummer for Paul Weller, The Who, Ian Dury, Jon Lord) and Donavan Hepburn (drummer for Take That, Adele, E.L.O), who selected Brit School student Joseph Solomon as the overall winner.
This year #FUTUREBEAT takes a giant leap forward, with this year’s Regional Finals hosted on Sundays as part of DRUMFEST ’17, Yamaha’s new free, three-day weekend devoted entirely to drumming, that visits Manchester, Cardiff, Nottingham, Birmingham, Glasgow and London from August to mid-November.
Yamaha #FUTUREBEAT PRIZES up for grabs:
The Future Beat finalist will win a Yamaha 5-piece Yamaha Drum Set and hardware worth over £2,000
Finalist will be invited to Yamaha Music Europe GmbH (UK) to have
Masterclass sessions with leading Yamaha Drum Artists
The Regional Winners will receive a Recording Custom Snare Drum worth over £400
