Master drummer Grant Collins takes audiences on an exhilarating ride with his One Man Percussion Orchestra at City Recital Hall Angel Place, 30 August 2008.

Following sell-out concerts across the globe, Grant Collins brings the largest drum kit in the Southern Hemisphere to Sydney, promising an awe-inspiring, jaw dropping ‘percussion tour de force’.

Supreme rhythmic dexterity and effortless showmanship are the hallmarks of his scintillating show. Collins stops at nothing to take audiences on a musical journey, traveling deep into multi-timbral soundscapes with hypnotic rhythms and enchanting ancient narratives.

Valued at $75 000 his gigantic instrument, dubbed 'the Beast' due to its size and power, is comprised of 26 drums, 36 cymbals, 16 different pedals, 14 toms, 6 bass drums and 4 snares. The massive 75-piece kit takes several people over several hours to erect and above its glittering assembly sits a camera that projects the drummers every movement onto a screen for all to see.

Nicknamed ‘The Octopus’, Collins shatters any preconceived notions of the artistic capacity of drumming, Collins’ stand out one man show offers audiences a once in a lifetime, must-be-seen-to-be-believed experience.
