Muscle Beats Metal: Street Drum Corps Kicks Off Cleveland Rock Hall's New Punk-Rock Exhibit with Sweaty Rhythm and Attitude; Locally Crafted Dru
Cleveland, OH (PRWeb) January 20, 2007 -- Manic, urban rhythm pounded out on scavenged industrial objects by Street Drum Corps percussionists has rocked fans from coast-to-coast. The lean, muscular trio comprised of Frank Zummo and brothers Bobby and Adam Alt have performed with the Vans Warped Tour, for Yoko Ono in New York and Conan O'Brian's TV show, to name a few venues. And they will rock out at a private, opening night reception for donors at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum to celebrate the newest exhibit, "Warped: 12 years of music, mayhem and madness." A Trash Kat drum, made locally by ThunderEcho Drums, will provide part of the street drummers' metaliferous pulse.
The sold out, opening night party will also feature Bad Religion, Bouncing Souls, Pennywise and Paramore.
America's longest running touring festival, The Vans Warped Tour, started in 1995 and is still a favorite with the Punk-rock/Skate community. The Rock Hall and Museum's exhibit will celebrate the cultural relevance of the Warped Tour and will display related memorabilia donated by some of its touring bands, including Street Drum Corps, No Doubt, My Chemical Romance, Joan Jett, Dropkick Murpheys and others. Street Drum Corps' gear that has been placed on exhibit includes a ThunderEcho Drums' Trash Kat drum used on the tour, stripped of identification and painted with graffiti. The drum was painted by Los Angeles Graffiti Artist Comah and fitted with custom Aquarian Drumheads.
The 2005 Vans Warped Tour was Street Drum Corps first tour. Bert McCracken of "The Used" was a special guest performer with S.D.C. on this tour. Bert played the Trash Kat on each performance. The drum was also used as a centerpiece for other special guest drummers each day. Special guests included: Brandon Saller "Atreyu", Sonny Moore "From First To Last", Jordan Burns "Strung Out" and The Rev "Avenged Sevenfold".
The exhibit will be open to the public from January 27 through September 3, 2007.
Once the six-month exhibit ends, these items will be put into a "time capsule" and stored at the museum for 25 years. The "capsule" will be opened during a special event in 2031 and then displayed for an additional six months. Trash Kat designer Kevin Reed and mom, Jane, co-owners of ThunderEcho Drums, are already planning to attend.
