Guitar Center Drum Off Finals Jan. 8 in Hollywood

Tickets are now on sale for Guitar Center's Drum Off Finals taking place on Saturday, January 8th, 6:30 pm at The Music Box in Hollywood, CA. The culmination of the world's largest drum competition will feature an evening packed with performances by the drumming elite and the top five undiscovered drummers in the country.

Headlining the show with an eclectic jazz infused project is Steve Smith (Vital Information, Journey), whom Rolling Stone named one of the greatest drummers of all time. Other performers include Slayer drummer Dave Lombardo and a rare collaboration by Gavin Harrison (of British prog-rockers Porcupine Tree) and Simon Phillips (who has played with and alongside artists including Mick Jagger, Brian Eno and Jeff Beck among others).

Kicking off the evening will be a special collaborative performance from two of Guitar Center's Drum-Off alumni: Cora Coleman-Dunham (Prince), and Tony Royster, Jr. (Jay-Z) alongside hip-hop/R&B drum icons Nisan Stewart (50 Cent, Jamie Foxx) and Trevor Lawrence, Jr. (Eminem, Dr. Dre, Herbie Hancock).

Tickets are only $10 and available at www.ticketweb.com. Don't miss it!
