There are some As you may know this is the world's largest gathering of
drummers ever assembled. We currently hold the record for 533 drummers
playing simultaneouslyWelcome to the Woodstick/Big Beat 2008 website. You'll
find up to the minute information about the largest gathering of drummers
ever assembled. We're gearing up for our 6th annual event to be held
November 2nd at The Juanita Field House in Kirkland. There are several very
significant factors that will assure that this year's event is the biggest
and best event we've ever presented. Read on!!

The most significant development comes from our alliance with the Five Star
Drum Shops. This years event will occur simultaneously in 9 cities across
the US and Canada, hosted by a  <http://www.fivestardrumshops.com/> Five
Star Drum Shop in each city. The international event will be called the Five
Star Big Beat. We will attempt to set a cumulative record for drummers
playing simultaneously via electronic connection between all 9 participating
cities. This has never before been attempted but we're confident we can pull
it off. 

We'll also attempt a new world record for the most drummers playing drumsets
simultaneously at our local event. We hold the current Guinness world record
of 533. With 9 different cities participating there will be some heavy
competition for the largest local event. We're really going to have to come
out in droves if we want to hold onto our record. 

Our Five Star affiliation has brought us a dramatic increase in industry
support. All of the major drum, cymbal and accessory companies recognize the
importance of this event and are being extremely supportive of our cause. We
could never attempt to produce an event on this scale with out the support
of the drum industry. Expect to see lots more prizes and promotion this
year.

We will raise money this year to support school music programs and to
promote hearing safety. We're working locally with
<http://www.rotarymusic4life.org/> Rotary Music 4 Life and nationally with
The  <http://www.mhopus.org/> Mr. Holland's Opus Foundation. Both of these
organizations help purchase and repair musical instruments for underserved
schools. We're also working with Tacoma Rotarians to promote hearing safety.
Musicians routinely expose their ears to dangerous levels of noise. The
Rotarians are promoting some very simple ways to protect our ears, our most
valuable instrument.
