Featured Drummer and Score Series
A recent addition to our website will feature a drummer from almost anywhere in the world. The feature will include an introduction of the drummer, a short interview with that drummer, and an original score by that drummer. A new feature will be posted quarterly and we have already established a list of almost 50 drummers that we will be inviting to participate over the coming years, so you can be certain there will be many exciting features to come in this series!

January 2008 - Barry Wilson of Kilmarnock, Scotland Barry Wilson's name is well known throughout the International community of pipe band drumming and has been for over two decades. He accomplished more in his early career as a corps member than most drummers could ever hope to achieve. Starting with his local pipe band and progressing on to multiple World Championship titles in Grade 1 including both band and drum corps crowns, Barry Wilson is undoubtedly one of the best drummers on the field today. This was solidified when Barry won the Worlds Solo Drumming Championship in October of 2007 after numerous top-five placements in the past decade. He is probably best known as one of the nucleus members of Jim Kilpatrick's drum corps with Shotts & Dykehead Caldonia for 16 seasons. Today Barry leads his own corps with the Scottish Power Pipe Band and has been turning plenty of heads with his powerful range of sound and unique compositions. We congratulate Barry Wilson on his well-deserved titles and wish him the best for continued success.
