The world of competitive drumming is reaching new heights with the RSPBA Adult Solo Snare Drumming Intercontinental Championship. This event has turned out to be a distinctive event in the world of drumming as it gathers the best talents from different parts of the world and continent in particular to display great mastery and creativity in snare drum.
Taking place every year, the championship comprises the best snare drummers who participate in a series of elimination trials that challenge their accuracy, tempo, and imagination. The competitors are judged by a number of renowned drummers who give their scores to the competitors in terms of technique, timing, and musicality. This kind of competition does not only put pressure on the drummers to perform their best but also reveal new trends and techniques in the field.
This year’s championship has witnessed some adoption of new technologies, for instance, the use of high-end acoustic technology to improve the quality of the sound produced by the performers, to the extent of making sure that every single drum beat is audible and clear in every corner of the venue. For the first time, the event is also being live streamed worldwide, thus providing the fans from all over the world with the opportunity to observe how high the level of the performers is.
Also, the championship is a great opportunity for participants to share cultures, as well as to develop their artistry. Drummers take with them different styles and rhythms that belong to their culture; this makes the event colorful and multicultural, and music is known to be the language that is spoken in every corner of the world.
The RSPBA Adult Solo Snare Drumming Intercontinental Championship not only awards the solo achievements of the drummer but also encourages a unity of all the drummers all around the world. It is about the changes in the expressive and performative practices of drumming as well as the sports discipline, which is constantly developing and challenging the capabilities of the snare drum.
