Take a look at people and stuff, which were captured by our lens last weekend!

From October 21 to Sunday, October 23, there was a lot going on in CWK Hall in Opole. Concerts, workshops and solo recitals, all this because of the 25th international Drum Fest festival. During these wonderful events we had the opportunity to listen to some of the greatest drummers. Listen not only to their music, but very wise words about playing music, and being in the business. Three days were filled with drumming, and we saw performances from: Łukasz “Icanraz” Sarnacki, Katy Elwell, Kaz Rodriguez, Rick Latham, Gary Novak, Jason Bittner, Maciej Gołyźniak, Russell Gilbrook and Jason Sutter. On Saturday and Sunday Young Drum Hero drumming contest took place. Youngsters showed their true amazing skills, and the contest comitee was quite amazed by them. We also attended concerts by: Lizzard, Flotsam and Jetsam, Rick Latham Trio oraz Michael Landau Group. Take a look at these pictures, you will feel the spirit of true passion!
