	I went to the DrumFest this week end. This 14 th edition was very great and far better that what I was expected. A lot of great musicians, playing a lot of music style all week end; from Jazz to Funk, fusion jazz to some prog. with Harrison, Bruford and Sucherman, cuban and latin rythm. Great Drumming and each one of them has his own style, but everyone of them were very happy to be there this week end, including Mr.Bruford him self. Next year, we hope to have a certain Carl Palmer on the list. They are working on this and Carl is aware of that he has to come here one day or another.

	Gavin Harrison from Porcupine Tree. He played some Porcupine Tree but also some funk, jazz and african beat. Enjoy. I was first row, but on the balcony. So, I did my best in those circumstances.

	Todd Sucherman, Styx drummer. A very talented drummer, with his own style. He played for us Superman from Styx, and several other genre of music. Very interesting to watch and to listen. Agressive with a prog.touch of his own. IMG]http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y25/lakefan/PB110057.jpg[/IMG]
