2008 AQHA YOUTH WORLD CUP ALL SOUNDING LIKE ONE! BY CHRISTINE HAMILTON, FIELD EDITOR The 2008 AQHA Youth World Cup opened to a thunderous sound on Saturday, July 5, in London, Ontario, Canada. The Drum Café, a worldwide organization of drummers, led the 16 international teams, coaches, managers and volunteers in a rousing community-building performance immediately after the welcome dinner.

“We use it to bring everybody together. We are all from different families and different walks of life,” Chris told the crowd. “I want you to get to know the people around you.” Chris added bells, tambourines, shakers and maracas, eventually getting the whole crowd up and dancing to the sound they created. “You are all sounding like one!” he called out. It was a great way to start the week of competition and clinics. OK, drummers, do you remember what you learned? The first note is the bass note – beat your whole hand in the center of the drum “This note is all about alignment, bringing people together,” Chris said. The second note is the tone note – drum all your fingers but your thumb on the edge of the drum. “It’s all about diversity – we each have a unique voice,” Chris said. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
