DRUM ECSTASY (Wit Rusland)
starts 21-00, 5 Euro
Drum Ecstasy are one of the stars of the underground music scene in Belarus. A quartet of 3 drummers and 1 bassplayer who play propulsive polyrhythmic anthems bedded in dark, sub-industrial low-end smear; they have been a fixture on the club scene for a number of years.
De Belarus muzieksensatie "Drum Ecstasy" is eind januari weer in Nederland. Liefhebbers van heftige drumklanken in de traditie van het Japanse Budo, zitten bij "drum Ecstasy" letterlijk geramd. Aangevuld met bizarre electronica, vlagvertoon, projecties stuwen de 3 drummers naar een extase dit er zeker mag zijn. Gaat dit zien, dawai!

Drum Ecstasy is a live band that plays heavy dance music using various bass guitar sounds, supported by a massive background of three and more drummers.
In individual compositions electric drills and saws noises and sound effects are used. In average Drum Ecstasy performance lasts 40-90 minutes, often slides and videos are used. There is also another variant of sounding with industrial percussion.
DRUM ECSTASY is also the band responsible for a soundtrack to the Russian biggest blockbuster "Night Watch", shown in many countries.
SELECTED PRESS
Drum Ecstasy from Belarus exemplify artsy beautiful rebellion: bass guitar and three drummers...
TAMIZDAT.org
...Their live shows fuse pure energy with musical abstraction. They draw largely on their own material, and the occasional recognisable riff from other songs that they have adapted to their own style, sort of mutant cover songs, to give the audience something familiar. They admit, however, that they have opened for more than a couple of bands that they would consider polar opposites to their own music; European pop acts that they have nothing in common with. But, they reason, if only one person in that audience walks away with a new perspective on music, then maybe it's worth it.
While most of it is instrumental, the band has experimented with a few vocal tracks, three of which are included on the disc. The vocals have a trancy, chant-like shamanic feel to them, in keeping with the tribal power of the drums, although one track, the haunting Jangaly is pure droning bliss. Certainly one of the standout tracks is the epic, 15-minute collaboration with Traktech Attack, in which a mesmerising industrial ambience swirls around, dark, intense percussive poly-rhythms.
The energised spirit of the performances, both live and studio is exhilarating. Drummers Alexandr Kravtsov, Andrey Tchugunov, Alexandr Gorokh work together to both control the rhythms and to unleash wild storms of percussive frenzy. Philipp Tchmyr is one of the most creative bassists playing today, wrenching sounds from his instrument that range from the throbbingly rhythmic, to screeching howls, to spaced-out drones.
For fans who have already experienced the band live, this is a great collection of multimedia stuff to groove to, and for those who haven't discovered Drum Ecstasy, short of catching them live somewhere in Europe, it's a great way to check them out.
