DRUMMER KOMBAT LEG#1 @ LES FOUFOUNES ELECTRIQUES MARCH 02, 2005


review & photos by Pascal Richard

AND NOW… new addition to the MMS reviews section, after its first successful edition last year... DRUMMER KOMBAT!! Here we go again every Wednesday at Les Foufounes Electriques; a great reunion for drummers and friends to have the opportunity to see a multitude of uniquely talented drummers kombating for a place in the big finale.

Drummers compete on a stage transformed especially for the night, yeah yeah. .it looks just like a real boxing ring with the famous Red & Blue corner! These drummers, which rightfully include girls, are taking the chance, not to mention…the risk, of showing what they can do with their drumsticks. Every Kombat is an excitement to see; two drummers face to face ready to Roll! They battle with fierce intensity but with friendly boxing style competition. All of that combined with a great crowd, nice ambiance, good beer, and very cute showcase girl’s,,,Wow! Drummer Kombat is not to be missed!

Here are the results for the Round#1, as 5 Kombats were scheduled, and all of these winners will continue to the next series of eliminatory rounds. See you next week!

Winners:
Joey Bastone
Lucie Lavoie
Bryan Sosa
François Magnan
Rafik Mankarios
