That video will give you a taste of what “Woodstick Big Beat” is all about. It’s happening on the Eastside – but it’s the brainchild of a West Seattle musician, Donn Bennett of Fauntleroy, and he says, “We need all the drummers we can get” in hopes of setting a record. This is the 8th annual Woodstick, Donn explains, saying, “Every year we attempt to set a new world record for drummers playing drumsets simultaneously. Our largest even ever had 533 drummers at Qwest Field in 2005. In 2008, a group in England broke our record with 588. We will attempt to break that record on November 7th.” This year’s event is at the Juanita Field House in Kirkland – but it’s linked simultaneously to 15 other cities in North America, all playing under one director who’s here in this area. If that’s not enough to pique your interest, Donn adds, “One of the featured drummers is Steve Moore. He became an Internet sensation when his Crazy Drummer video went viral on YouTube with more than 7 million hits.” Drumming is Donn’s business, by the way – with Donn Bennett Drum Studio in Bellevue. You can sign up through his website, by going here; proceeds benefit two charities, Mr. Holland’s Opus Foundation and Camp Korey, as explained here. (By the way, even if this isn’t something you can play in, you’ll be welcome to come watch, 2-4 pm on November 7th, with doors opening at 10 am – Donn says there’s a band onstage with the hundreds of drummers playing in synch – this year, the band is Spike and the Impalers from the recently canceled Bob Rivers Show.)
