[BotRH] July's Music Theme - Best Drummer (The Band's "Dream Band")

[Corki]

The Band of the Red Hand returns to its quest of picking its Dream band after a break. As a recap, our Dream Band currently consists of the following members:

 

Carlos Santana as the guitarist

Geddy Lee as the bass player

Within Temptation's Sharon den Adel as the Female Vocalist

Queen's Freddie Mercury as the Male Vocalist

 

Now our focus shifts to the world of drummers. And there are a host of activities surrounding this theme, which you can find highlighted below.

 

 

NOMINATE YOUR BEST DRUMMERS

Until Thursday 15th July 2010, I am looking to you to nominate who you think are the best drummers in the music world. Between 8 and 16 is what I am looking for, and those nominated will go into the "It's A Knockout" contest to decide who takes the role of Drummer in the Band's Dream Band.

Nominate your drummers in this thread

 

 

IT'S A KNOCKOUT

Once we have our nominations, there will be a "It's A Knockout" thread to pick the winner and who takes the position of Drummer in the Band's Dream Band.

ORIGINAL vs. COVER

After the success this thread had in September, this thread is still going strong. Each week, 2 songs will be posted for your to vote on. Also, if you want to run the thread for a week, please drop Corki a PM.

GENERAL THREADS

There will hopefully be a thread to discuss the great drummers, and you can post clips of their singing talent as well.

 

 

FOOTBALL WORLD CUP ANTHEMS - "IT'S A KNOCKOUT"

My internet has been a bit on the dodgy side in the last week or so, hence why the "It's A Knockout" contest from June hasn't finished. We are concluding the first round of ties and will shortly move onto Round 2. The plan is to try and finish when the Football World Cup Final happens.
