    Gus,

    Great job chief. I only wish that this can be done for other events in the same way. Quality is far better than YouTube.

    I hope that you had a good night afterwards in the Station Bar :-)

    He Olav,

    Rob Hoogenhoud was bij me. Vertelde van deze site en ik kwam ik jou tegen.
    Dit zijn geen leuke dingen om te zien en vooral niet om mee te maken lijkt me…..

    Kl*te voor je!

    Heb je verder nog gespeeld?

    It is great to see the cream of the world’s pipe band side drummers going toe to toe, with combined musical excellence…to achieve the standards of these top echelon competitors, would truely take special talent and the best part of a life time to perfect….there is no other form of drumming or any other drummers in any other discipline who would come in a bulls roar of these guys!!

  25. Roddy
    Comment by Roddy | 11/17/08 at 5:51 am

    How do pick the winner?? How much does personal bias and opinion come into it?? The top six were all supburb…with different styles to boot…I really like Gordon Brown as a drummer, loved his MSR (very worthy winner), Eric Ward is a dynamite player, but just didn’t quite like his choice of music so much..Steven is just as gifted and well, you can never discount the great Jim Kilpatrick…a real master. So glad this was made available for viewing and sincerely hope that it continues year by year. Well done.

    Thanks again lad!!

  27. Gus
    Comment by Gus | 12/10/08 at 6:29 pm

    [...] He seems to be going extremely well – he has just become the first Australian ever to join the illustrious Field Marshal Montgomery Pipe Band after passing his recent audition; he’s working at the Piping Centre and getting lessons from Roddy MacLeod; and he recently played pipes for Chris McNicholl in the World Solo Drumming Championships.  View and listen to Chris’s (and all the other competitors’) performances from the semi-final and final here.
