Young Drummer of the Year 2023 - WINNER! - Tyler Baker

Tyler Baker's winning performance at the 2023 Final of the Young Drummer of the Year Event held in the UK.
All entrants must be under 16 and send in a video of themselves playing. A shortlist of 40 is decided, then the top 10 are chosen to come and play in front of a panel of professional players and music industry heavyweights. Not only do they perform a solo, an accompaniment to some prerecorded music, and a 'live' piece with 2 other musicians (a piece of music that they only heard the morning of the event); but they are also have an informal chat with the judges about music and themselves.
The event, this year, is kindly sponsored by PDP Drums, Paiste Cymbals, GEWA Bags & Cases & Gibraltar Hardware.
Track one - Written by Kaz Rodriguez just for this event.
Track two live - Written and performed on bass for the event by Stefan Redtenbacher and Guitar Carter Arrington
Filmed at the Lighthouse Arts Centre in Poole, Dorset UK
