I'm kinda doubtful as to whether it'll actually take place. The organization doesn't feel professional to me.
Look, even the website http://www.singaporedrumfest.com/ is still just a placeholder :roll:
Unless, Nigel (from DRMP) is organizing this alone! :lol:

eh weckl-x sorry but i got to disagree, haha. I don't think one man is going to organise such an event. Even if Nigel is the organiser behind this I am very sure he have LOTS of staff/helper.
Just my 2 cents.

Sure, I'm personally hoping it's real too, and that it'll take place without a hitch.
But the little things like the website, (sistic as mentioned by rla), make me doubt the professionalism of whoever's in charge. If he's got lots of staff/helper, then what's up with the website?? Anyway, let's hope they sort it out soon.
Here's another point for discussion: How much do you think they'll price the tickets/passes?
1 day @ $50?
2 day @ $80?
or
1 day @ $100?
2 day @ $175?
Btw, just a comparision tickets to ModernDrummer Festival 2006 ranged from $100-$140 for a single day pass, and $170-$250 for a 2 day pass.

They had about 16 drummers in the lineup.

Haha true, we just got to wait for them to sort out. About the price, I believe there will be a greater discount for 2 days so I am thinking about 150++ and above for both days.

OMG ok i need to start saving up... i'll camp there and sleep there and do everything there... DEREK F***ING RODDY!!! omg imagine all those cymbals and huge drumkits... maybe they might make it like NAMM and bring all the exhibitions... suntec is gonna filled with drool... haha and the reason i think the website is down and suntec is still not informed is coz its only in June and the tickets only available starting from april... Slayer was only announced like a week before tickets went on sale... hang in there, i dont think anyone would dare hoax on such a great godsent event...

I believe it'll definitely be on the high side, I mean, how many drummers do you think there are in SG? (Maybe by going for this, we can find out.. haha) I can't imagine how much bringing in all the drummers (and their respective bandmates if they're invited) will cost man.
Appearance fee, accommodation, airfare... maybe if they can get gear sponsorship from yamaha + sweelee they can defray some of the cost. But there are no sponsor logos on the poster so far.
Look, when yamaha brought in Steve Smith, the tickets were $50 each.
I also remember going for an Eric Johnson gig (I managed to get a free ticket), the hall at UCC was less than half full. The organizer must have made a huge loss that night.
Tough job, if they price attractively/low, they'll definitely make a loss as I doubt there's enough critical mass when it comes to drummers. If they price to cover their expenses (which I believe isn't a small sum), less people will come.
Unless... they come up with regional packages too, to target people from the SEA region...
In case anyone wonders why I sound so incredulous, is because I don't want to get geared up for this event, then realise it's either not going to happen, or priced beyond my means

im totally agree with u weckle-x.
Like last year, Kenny Aronoff came to Msia and they also came to Sg rite?
So people in Msia unlikely to go to Sg to see him again. So if these drummers ONLY play at Sg, there will have a chance that people around SEA will come down to Sg to see them.
But if u do ask me, I will definitely go if I have the time. Because I never had a chance to go to Drums Festival before. I think there's no such thing here in Msia. Hehhee...

Hahahaha ---- Free definetely cannot lah for everyone (they are in the business too) - but it's possible subject to maybe only 3 or 4 person in Soft here who wants to help them out ... So - it pays to be in the Organising Committee here for this Drum Fest at SOFT - Hurry get yourself organise lah here lah....
Then - the rest of us here going (the committee will negotiate with them on bulk purchase of Tickets for our this special interest group - should be able to get better than the normal pricing for sure (how much I donn't know lah) -just based on the volume of Drummers here getting the tickets altogether as a Group - This is - - - The Power Of Soft Drummers here .... Kekekeke :smt040.
Get their contact number now - start collecting names - then negotiate on price of tickets. Who will buy 40 to 60 tickets besides Soft here & Yamaha Music School...correct?
