77 drummers, the boredoms

Legendary Japanese iconcolasts BOREDOMS, a visionary band who has spent over twenty years pushing itself toward new frontiers, will stage the most extraordinary concert of their career on July 7, 2007. A once-in-a-lifetime performance featuring 77 drummers, and meant to be performed just once (on 7/7/07), BOREDOMS will create 77BOADRUM as a free show in the Empire-Fulton Ferry State Park section of Brooklyn Bridge Park.

Located directly on the East River and majestically framed by the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges, the Empire-Fulton Ferry State Park section of Brooklyn Bridge Park provides an arresting stage for this audacious performance.

was that not the greatest event ever?!?! I was one of the folks up on the bridge, and it was unreal!

i was wondering what it'd be like to see it bird's eye. you could hear everything clearly?

[limbot]

jesus, i wish i was there to experience something amazing like this.

Brian Chippendale was my favorite drummer there!!

I believe thats the plan, and the reason we weren't supposed to bring cameras, but how could you not

I was on the landing on the tower of the bridge and you could hear everything perfectly. The only downside was the occasional jerkass motorcyclist coming by and making a racket. I posted up a clip from where I was standing.

[jazzpiranha]

it depended on where on the bridge you were, I moved around a bit, and most of the time I could only see half of the spiral. But I could see them playing and I could see EYE conducting.

if all the drummers were playing the same exact drum time this would have sounded like shit.

it didn't.

[deadsouls80]

hopefully it wasnt that same lame beat for 4 hours.

Totally. I'm hoping the people on the cherry picker recorded the whole show and maybe will throw together a DVD or something.
