Bring Back Our Best Bass Section Awards

On 8 March, 2008, a vote was carried at the RSPBA AGM to abolish all Best Bass Section awards from major pipe band championships. The decision has effectively consigned almost 80 years of pipe band drumming history at every level to the bin.

After consulting with a cast of pipe band musicians, Scott Currie launched an online campaign called 'Bring Back OUR Best Bass Section Awards', seeking the immediate reinstatement of the awards. The campaign provides information and links for interested pipe band musicians to find out about the abolition of the awards and invites supporters to sign an online petition in support of the campaign.

Please support Bring Back OUR Best Bass Section Awards by signing the online petition and asking your band to register its objection to the abolition at your local branch meeting. The support of every pipe band musician will be greatly appreciated.

Totally Tenors - Total Success

The Totally Tenors 3 seminar held in London, Ontario on 21 & 22 April, 2007 was hailed as a success by the 30 plus students who attended from Canada and the USA.

Students from beginner to professional level attended tenor drumming classes and ensemble & composition presentations hosted by the invited instructors Scott Currie, Tyler Fry and Stephen McQuillan.

Students at Totally Tenors 3 get to grips with a classic drum fanfare

The highlight for many of the students was learning a full classic Alex Duthart drum fanfare while basking in the sunny gardens of Fanshawe College.

Congratulations to organiser Penny Shewfelt for her fine efforts and hard work in creating such a great event.

tenordrummer.com To Log Off


After 6 years of working to bring the world's community of bass and tenor drummers closer together, tenordrummer.com is set to close down on 31 March, 2007.
 
The Web site was founded by Shotts tenor drummer Scott Currie in 2001 and built by a team of experienced Grade 1 bass and tenor drumming advisors including Trevor Buckley (Boghall & Bathgate Caledonia), Mike Cole (Windsor Police), Tyler Fry (The House of Edgar Shotts & Dykehead), Stephen Kilbride (ScottishPower), John McFetridge (former FMM) and Stephen McQuillan (Boghall & Bathgate Caledonia).
 
Initially created with the aim of being a focal point for drummers seeking support, the site quickly developed into much more than that and became a recognised brand for bass and tenor drummers. tenordrummer.com was a driving force behind the revival of solo competition in the UK, helping to set the mandates for competition, supplying adjudicators and sponsoring prizes. Most recently, the group moved into instruction, adding the highly successful Back to BASSics bass and tenor drumming workshop to Glasgow's Piping Live! worlds week diary.
 
The editor Scott Currie said "As a group of enthusiasts, we created the site with the intention of giving something back to the art form by raising its profile throughout the pipe band community. I think it is fair to say that we have played an important role in influencing the development of the art form in recent years and have definitely brought the the art form closer together through fantastic networking facilities provided to us by the late Bob Dunsire and Bob Norris. The site has inspired many drummers to improve the standard of their playing and has even inspired some to take up the art form from scratch. The logistical and financial input of the Web site has also helped bring solo competition back to Scotland and introduced quality instructional events to Scotland similar to those regularly held in North America. We are all proud of what tenordrummer.com has achieved during the years and thank the many musicians, bands and associations in the pipe band community and our sponsors who have supported our work."
 
"Taking into account that tenordrummer.com was essentially an enthusiast's hobby site, it has far outgrown the time and energy that I have available at my disposal to sustain its existence. Having accomplished all of our goals and more, I felt that the time was right to step aside."
 
The Back to BASSics workshop has been held in Glasgow city centre since 2005 and is usually announced around May/June prior to the event in August. No plans have been completed in relation to a 2007 event at this time and discussions are at a very early stage. "I would encourage past and prospective students to keep an eye on pipes|drums and the Bob Dunsire Forums for future announcements relating to the event."

Totally Tenors 3 Fast Approaching

Scott will join Stephen McQuillan and Tyler Fry at Totally Tenors 3 in London, Ontario on 21 & 22 April, 2007 to instruct a two-day tenor drumming workshop held in Fanshawe College.

In its third year, Totally Tenors has become a fantastic focal point for tenor drummers from the Ontario province, attracting around 50 drummers last year. This year's event has been expanded to two days of classes following numerous requests from the students.

There is still plenty of time to enrol for the workshop. Visit the Totally Tenors Web site and contact organiser Penny Shewfelt to secure your place.
