“It’s hard to imagine a human acoustic drum kit performer advancing much beyond this level.”  US Drum Magazine Grant Collins One Man Percussion Orchestra   Internationally renowned solo drum set performer, Grant Collins, brings his incredible ‘One Man Percussion Orchestra’ show to regional Queensland.    Grant’s vivacious and dynamic show is a reflection of his infatuation with the drums, which has seen him tour and perform as an international artist at many concert halls across the globe.  Not only does Grant attack the boundaries of a solo performer, he also pushes the restrictions of his instrument to create ground-breaking ingenious works.   Grant’s drum set (the largest in the southern hemisphere) allows Grant to express a level of artistry which has seen him rise as one of the forerunners of solo drum set composition and performance. His ‘One Man Percussion Orchestra’ concert uses a projection screen to show the rear view of the pedals (there are 16+ of them!) so audiences can be part of a 4D concert presentation.    There are no limits in a Grant Collins concert. Witness the multi-limbed techniques and dynamic stage presence of this remarkable performer as he redefines what it means to be a drummer.

But how can drumming be narrative? I guess it was a had-to-be-there experience!”  Sarah Woods, Arts Hub Australia Tour managed and coordinated by the Regional Touring Office – ARTS.
