At 9:30am on Saturday 13th October, we will take our drums to the street and perform flashmob-style in front of the Olympia exhibition centre in West Kensington, London.
The performance is public and free, so please come along to Olympia Way - no other street name could be more appropriate! You will witness the biggest gathering of Pandemonium Drummers since the London 2012 Olympic Opening Ceremony!

Later in the day at 12:15pm, London 2012 Ceremonies drum co-ordinator Mike Dolbear will run a masterclass on how the opening ceremony drummers were trained, including behind-the-scene stories. Mike will be supported by drum captains and volunteers (us).
This event is for London Drum Show ticket holders only, and the Saturday is already sold out; a one-out-one-in policy is in place.

These events are organised by mikedolbear.com, London Drum Show and Olympia.
ABOUTPandemonium Drummers
The Pandemonium Drummers were originally put together by London 2012 Ceremonies for the Pandemonium segment of Danny Boyle's spectacular Olympic Opening Ceremony. Following the Ceremony, the volunteer drummers kept on performing at a variety of events.
Based on their extensive training, they performed at other Opening Ceremonies, including the UEFA Champions League Final 2013, the FA Cup Final 2014, and the Heineken Cup Final 2014, and at a variety of large and small festivals as well as sports and community events. The Pandemonium Drummers are a returning act in London's major parades, including the London New Years' Day Parade, St Patrick's Day Parade, and the Lord Mayor's Show, and they coined Cheer Drumming, supporting runners at major sports events across the capital and beyond. The Pandemonium Drummers have supported the Special Olympics, the Teenage Cancer Trust, and a wide range of other charities.
The Pandemonium Drummers are a constituted association with charitable aims, and are working on a non-profit basis as volunteers.
