Drummer Live 2008 was a part of the London International Music Show, and it was a very well attended event. The main showroom was full of drumming musicians, filling the entire building with the energetic drumming. Missing from the event were drummers Ronn Dunnett, and Nicko McBrain. MC this year would be handled by Ian 'Crofty' Croft, the editor of Drummer magazine. Here are some of the drummers present for Drummer Live.
- George Barnett -
His style is expressive and flamboyant, his passion for drumming is paled only by his love of music in general. His set was a short 10 minutes of a variety of genres and song styles that demonstrated his skill to great affect.
- Ray Luzier -
A brilliant showman and talented drummer, he engages the listener with wonderful facial expressions and his flair with the drum sticks. Performing with him was bassist Billy Sheehan, and though they were jamming, their complex styles meshed as though they knew each other for years.
- Derico Watson -
His style elicits images of Papa Jo Jones, with a minimalist sort of showmanship. His drumming skill is solid with impeccable time keeping and distorting. It is no wonder why he is the drummer for bassist Victor Wooten.
- Trevor Lawrence Jr. -
The drummer for Snoop Dog delivered with amazing skill that demonstrated exactly why he was nominated for, and occasionally won, the Grammy for the past eight years.
- Jojo Mayer -
His set of Nerve tunes was stunning along with the atmosphere given off by his over all technique.
- Chad Smith -
Drummer from the Chili Peppers, his wild and motivated character broke all of the barriers. He urged listeners to pull their chairs up, much to the chagrin of the staff as it broke fire code. He then provided a show that powered through Chili songs with conversation in between. He even took requests from the latest album. He later chased security away since they were kicking people out of the fire code designated lanes. All the showmanship aside, the drummer packs a powerhouse of skill and talent, all teeming with energy.
- Josh Devine -
Mapex drummer of tomorrow winner, his chops were amazing leaving even seasoned drummers speechless.
- Roy Mayorga -
The drummer from Stone Sour provided a set that was intense, with his double bass technique and use of octobans and side-mounted bass and toms.
- Pete Ray Biggin -
The British drummer was a giant of the instrument that left all those in attendance speechless. Unlike some artists, he did not have any dull moments in his set. His skill is why big names such as Robbie Williams, Amy Whinehouse, Sean Lennon, Mark Ronson and many more call on the drummer for his skill.
- Gavin Harrison -
This artist can easily be described as the best drummer of the entire performance. His seeming neat skill carried surprising emotion, with complex elements and timings sounding effortless. His technique is without fault, and was the only drummer for whom the entire audience gave a standing ovation.
