Sonny Young's performance at the 2022 Final of the Young Drummer of the Year Event held in the UK.
All entrants must be under 16 (17 this year - due to event not able to happen in 2021) and send in a video of themselves playing. A shortlist of 40 is decided, then the top 10 are chosen to come and play in front of a panel of professional players and music industry heavyweights. Not only do they perform a solo, an accompaniment to some prerecorded music, and a 'live' piece with 2 other musicians (a piece of music that they only heard the morning of the event); but they are also have an informal chat with the judges about music and themselves.
The event, this year, is kindly sponsored by Gretsch Drums, Paiste Cymbals, GEWA Bags & Cases & Gibraltar Hardware.
Filmed at Number 8, CINEMA - THEATRE - GALLERY, Pershore UK
