Asbury Drum Off 2007 Part 01

This was the introduction act that led into Ben Hughes' drum solo at the first ever Asbury Drum Off. The Asbury Drum Off was a fund raiser to help Acting On AIDS at Asbury College. The event was a huge success and the drummers have been asked to do it again next year.

what drum heads does the guy playing at 3:14 have? please reply

[miffy126]

Mr. Tubular, Ben tells me he uses Remo Pinstripes all around with the exception of his snare which is an Aquarian Hi-Energy.

How low is your snare?

[miffy126]

I don't know how low Ben's snare is. I can find out though. Thanks for the interest!

[miffy126]

Lildrmmrboy, Ben said, "it's actually a very, very tight thick head on top (Aquarian High Energy head), and looser on the bottom. I keep the snares loosey goosey too, but not too loose. The key is opening it up so the drum can actually make the noise, and not the stick on the drum. Don't be afraid to crank it up, because a lot of times, people don't tune their snares high enough to actually hear what it's supposed to sound like."

Hope that answers your question for you!

was there like 5 drummers? O____________O

[miffy126]

Goliath405, there were actually 7 drummers playing at once for the opening and closing of the event. Zach started, the others joined in, then they stopped one at a time until Ben was the last one left, then he went into his solo.
