Young Drummers Drum up R17 800 for charity

16 August 2013 By Alan

Young drummers from Port Elizabeth raised R17 800 for the MTR Smit Children’s Haven at a concert hosted in The Boardwalk’s Vodacom Amphitheatre.

Students of the DDrums Drumming Academy came from all over the Metro to get the audience rocking to the beat of tunes made famous by Rockschool, Katy Perry, Poison, Maroon 5, Bon Jovi, Pink, One Republic, Bruno Mars, and Michael Jackson on Saturday, August 10.

For many of the young drummers it was their first performance for a large audience says Derrick Badenhorst, founder of DDrums.

Additional funds will be raised through the sale of a video from the night’s performance.
