Tickets are now on sale for the 2008 Modern Drummer Festival. Postponed from last year due to issues with securing a venue this years festival looks to come back strong with artists such as Simon Phillips, Derek Roddy, and Gavin Harrison just to name a few. Tickets can be purchased individually for $82-87.00 single day, or $75-80.00 for the 2-Day combo. Tickets for main events will have assigned seats so if you want front row you better hurry!

Produced since 1987 by Modern Drummer magazine, the world’s most widely read drumming publication; the two-day Festival presents a roster of today's top drumming talents, representing a variety of popular musical styles. Some offer solo “clinic” performances; others appear “in concert” with additional musicians. All share their talents in an educational and entertaining format that has made the MD Festival a must-see event for drummers around the world.
