A note from Donn Bennett:

DRUMMERS!!!
 More cool happenings at DONN BENNETT DRUM STUDIO in Bellevue WA!!
First, BB King drummer, Tony Coleman is in town and available for 
private lessons until Jan. 10th. Those of you that attended his clinic a 
couple weeks ago saw what a diverse and inspirational drummer he is. If 
you want to get your groove together, work on your shuffles or fine tune 
your skills Tony is the man for you. He'll be available on Mondays for 
rest of December and the first week in January. Lessons are $60.00 per 
hour. Do not miss out on this opportunity to study with one of the 
greats. Reply or call John at 425-747-6145 to get scheduled.
 Second, Mark your calendars way in advance cause this is going to be 
BIG!!
As many of you know, last year we set a Guinness World Record for the 
most drummers playing drumset simultaneously. In the process we raised 
nearly $30,000.00 to help eradicate Polio. This coming President's Day, 
Feb. 16th 2004 at the TACOMA DOME in Tacoma WA, WE"RE DOING IT AGAIN!! 
This time our goal is to TRIPLE our previous record and assemble 1,000 
DRUMMERS all playing the drumset simultaneously. The event will be 
called WOODSTICK 2004. The details are not all final at this point but I 
can assure you this will be HUGE!! There will be some very , very big 
name guest artists, fantastic prizes and a truly amazing experience. 
 If you participated last year you know what an awesome sound we 
created with over 300 drummers. When you take that number and TRIPLE IT we 
can only imagine what it will be like. It will take a lot of work and a 
lot of drummers to really make this happen. Please mark your colanders 
and start spreading the word. I'll be sending out more information as it 
develops.
The great people at Tacoma Rotary are organizing this event and are 
ready to get you registered RIGHT NOW!! You can go www.rotary8.org , click 
on the WOODSTICK 2004 logo and you can register right online.
We'll be in touch.
SeeYa,
 Donn Bennett
