This need to happen every year. Image what it would be like to have the wolrd playing to the same beat in harmony. Music is love
Music is balance, Music is life.

[gpmcd]

Love seeing the age gap. Preteen kids and seniors all playing together and having a great time. We need more of that these days.

[vikimseruh]

This is what it is all about. Coming together no matter the age and having a wonderful time. Love this.

[stavio]

What a bunch of happy drummers, they all had a smile on their faces.

[afsanehfathi]

It is priceless to see their smiles and their happiness! This is going to be the most memorable day for those children who participate on this event!

[Talon]

The entire drum crowd and spectators were having a great time. I love the energy.

[Mellmick]

As a percussions player ( g7 though g12) watching this made me emotional. A lot of people think percussion is the easiest position in band when in fact it’s one of the most challenging and important part. As a percussionists you not only have to know your music but that of the entire band. As a percussionist it’s your job to give rhythm balance and structure for others to follow. A lot of times a percussionist will have to improvise

[EmpyrionBlackthorn]

This is one of the most beautiful and amazing things I have ever seen... so many people doing something like this in unison touched my soul.

[mrmusic]

With not a care about age, etc., these 2, 000 timekeepers gathered to share their passion for rhythm.
How anyone can get this many people synchronized is a miracle !

[Westcoastjazzer]

That's one of the happiest hours I have ever spent! Thank You for all of the wonderful musicians that did this wonderful event! I want more!

[VictorMawhinney]

It’s amazing what goes on around the world and if not for YouTube you wouldn’t see it 👍👍👍👍

[rbilardo]

Totally, totally awesome, never seen or heard something like this before. Young, old, men, women and children all participating and having a wonderful time. We need more of this in this world, thank you for sharing. God Bless everyone around the whole wide world. Peace to this world is coming, real soon.

[thedavesiknow]

It's this kind of thing that brings a happy tear to my eyes. People being together making amazing things happen for good.

[TheRisskee]

Is it weird that this makes me extremely emotional? 😅 This is one of the coolest things I've ever seen!

[peterwollaston]

That must have been some afternoon. I bet they are still living it - I mean all those amateur drummers - kids/grandads. FABULOUS!

[bassbeardiful]

As a bass player who can never find a drummer, this would be heaven for me.

[janbloos]

Wat een optreden.Wat een vreugde voor zoveel mensen, van jong tot oud.We komen dit soort pret in Nederland te kort.Kom op en organiseer maar raak.We worden er vrolijker van.

[delsurf]

I played precision when I was in middle school; after watching this I kinda regret not sticking with it. I love seeing the age ranges of the drummers. Thanks.

[MeiDouthitt]

I love how if it's a drum it's here: marching drums, drum sets, tomtoms, taiko drums, you name it it's here. I so wish I could have been there!

[MsMouvies]
