About Drums Collective USA
Taking US Bookings for - Chris Inperspective / Macc / Fanu / Dj Trax / ASC / Olcyrus
Lets face it, we are not exactly the majority. However, we have an excellent community dedicated to all things drums. Drums Collective USA is the stateside meeting spot for promoters and individuals looking to bring these sounds to town. It is a place to get info and mixes from feature artist and also a place to come together and find more heads with the same musical interests in your area.
Drums Collective USA started when longtime stateside dj Olcyrus wanted to bring the man keeping the music fresh for him to town. Problem is, no one can afford to pay for a person to fly around the world and play one gig. Knowing that there are many of us out there, Olcyrus reached out on the forums and was succesful in booking the first stateside tour for Fanu in Fall 07'. That sparked the fire that led to a 13 city tour for Fanu in Spring 08'.
That tour created the network of good, honest, dedicated and enthusiastic promoters that we work with today. These people across the states and Canada are the ones who make it possible. The purpose for Drums Collective USA is to build on the solid base already here and bring more names for less costs to each city.
Drums Collective USA is not just another promotion company. It is a grassroots effort of bringing people together to create the possibilities of bringing the acts we want to see to town. It is also a collective who appreciates the dedicated work people do and would like to continue working with good people. To do so, we aim to have 4 International artists per year and a few stateside artists available year round. By keeping it to 4 Artists per year it is easier to plan for and won't stretch promoters thin with their budgets.
We are already planning for the future and would like to gain as many interested people as we can before tours kick up in 09' Currently in the works for 09 are tours from International players, Fanu, Macc and Chris Inperspective. Representing the stateside contingent are ASC and Olcyrus. We are interested in a potential of 2 more International acts, WHO DO YOU WANT TO SEE?
You can find more information and links about Drums Collective USA artists on this page.
To become involved, add us as a friend and put in a message with
1)Who you want to see most and
2) What city are you from.
This can help determine who should come over the pond and if people in the same areas can work together to make this happen for them too. As always, tell your friends ;)
Cheers
