Explosive talent, passion, humor and irresistible personality collide in a magical setting when seven of the best drummers in the world come together to create a profound and unforgettable experience.
Featuring Nasyr Abdul Al-Khabyyr, Dennis Chambers, Kenwood Dennard, Horacio “El-Negro” Hernadez, Giovanni Hidalgo, Mike Mangini and Raul Rekow, A Drummer's Dream engages viewers with rich music styles and influences that are as dynamic as the performers themselves. The creative and spiritual freedom of expression these artists display is overwhelming—from Latin rhythms to the wildly original compositions of Kenwood Dennard. These master drummers have backed up the likes of Miles Davis, Dizzy Gillespie, Carlos Santana and now each other. You’ve never seen drummers like this before!
"Recommended: They do things with drumsticks you can't even imagine!" —The Stranger
