The 4th Dante Agostini Drums Award took place on 3 and 4 August in Mercatello Sul Metauro, Italy.

The finalists in the 4 categories on offer (junior, Charleston, Drummer and Special Band) played the set piece and then presented a piece of their own choice.

There was a wide variety of styles and sensibilities, but one thing they all had in common was their great technical mastery and remarkable musicality.
