Charlie Zeleny: "Drumageddon" The Ultimate Drum Solo:  
1 Drummer, 1 HD Camera, 1 Take Non-Stop Drum Solo Up An Entire Brooklyn Building From Street to Roof.
Virtuoso Drumset Solo Artist Charlie Zeleny has performed The Ultimate Drum Solo entitled "Drumageddon" up an entire multi-floor building in Brooklyn NYC from the Street to Roof in one continuous take using a single HD camera in tow. Charlie Z shredded drums through multiple floors & hallways of the building without stopping using multiple Protools rigs and 4 separate complete drumsets along with stage hands moving parts of drumsets along with him between locations in the 7+ minute Drum Solo video. 

This Ultimate Drum Solo featured drummer Charlie Z improvising everything from bombastic Rock Drumming, Latin Jazz Fusion and Gospel Chops R&B Shredding to fast Drum N Bass and Progressive Metal drum solos. The grand finale is on Charlie Z's gigantic 40 Piece Drumset on top of the graffiti stricken roof overlooking the Empire State Building and the NYC Skyline.

"— Excuse me sir, I'm going to randomly place 40 drum kits over this whole building."

"— Is that for Charlie Z?"

"— Yes."
