August 2005

You have one pair of ears! Drum shows please listen!

“Ears don’t repair - look after them”

A message repeated over and over during the DrumFest day by each drummer, who then subsequently put protection into their ears. But what about the audience - how many of them had protection? Not many from my quick scan.

So, what about an Ear Protection company sponsoring these Drum Shows and giving everyone a free pair of Ear plugs - please. Surely, this is very positive marketing for the first to do so!

Luckily, I took my ear plugs to DrumFest (only because I’d been to one drum show before and my ears knew about it) - without them, I’m sure I would have had ringing ears - a sign of battering and possible damage - DrumFest was the equivalent of three or more consecutive live rock shows at Wembley!

DrumFest 2005 Pictures

Somehow, I managed to grab a seat in the 2nd row even though I was quite late into the hall - so here’s how it looked from my view.

If you’d like a copy of the original pictures (full size and quality), send me an e-mail.

Checkout this short video of the machine known as Thomas Lang.
