We are only a couple of hours away from the closing of the Drum Your Way to Hollywood contest video submissions to the Dixon Drums YouTube group. That also means there are only a couple more hours for the videos to receive votes. We have received a lot of submission in the last 24 hours, so, check out the videos and vote for the best drummer using the star rating buttons seen below each video. The higher rated videos will get a better chance at being picked as one of the 6 finalists by our judges. See the Official Rules and the Terms and Conditions. Good luck to everyone!

This guy it pretty funny. If you or your band’s drummer can play better than him, you have a shot a winning the Dixon Outlaw Kit, along with the trip to Hollywood to play for A & R executives and be on the A&R Channel (which is watched by many musicians and labels). Just video yourself or your drummer playing at a Dixon dealer, upload it to YouTube, and add it to our group.
