And we wanted to make another &#8216;holy crap, that&#8217;s a lot of drums&#8217; video that would outdo <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drumeo.com\/beat\/in-the-air-tonight-longest-drum-fill\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Jared Falk&#8217;s &#8220;In The Air Tonight&#8221; masterpiece<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We were going to film this in a parking lot. We set up all the drums. But then it started to rain, so we had to cancel the shoot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The next time we tried to film this in the parking lot, it rained again. We needed to come up with a new plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Can we do this indoors? Where can we find enough space to hold 125 drums and 3 drum sets<\/em>, <em>and won&#8217;t inspire the neighbors to call the cops?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The answer was the local ice rink. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And lo and behold, we now have the most Canadian video we&#8217;ve ever filmed at Drumeo (although this video of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drumeo.com\/beat\/todd-sucherman-drumming-on-a-mountain\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Todd Sucherman drumming on a mountain<\/a> is pretty Canadian).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don&#8217;t worry &#8211; no drums or pedals were harmed in the process. We actually covered the kick pedals in rubber gym mat material to make them skate-proof.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>125 drums is a <em>lot<\/em> of drums. We&#8217;re fortunate to be in a position where we have everything we need to make our videos and play the instrument we love. Not everyone is so lucky, so we&#8217;ve partnered with a charity called MusiCounts where all funds raised provide instruments to schools in need. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From October 1-10, we matched your donations (up to a total of $50,000). Our goal was to raise $100,000, and donors received perks like a month-long Drumeo subscription, awesome drumming course packs and more. Thank you!<\/p>\n\n\n<p><iframe class=\"email-form-include-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.drumeo.com\/weeklyemail\" frameborder=\"none\"><\/iframe><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>125 drums. 3 drum sets.
