|    Dec 03, 2005

Every year, some of the greatest singers and musicians on the West Coast come together to pay musical tribute to long-lost friend and drummer extrordinaire Carlos Vega, and this year's event will be held on Saturday, December 3rd at 8:00pm. Getting together to play and remember 'Los is an opportunity to have fun and make some great music, and people come from all over the world to attend along with Carlos' family and friends. Proceeds from ticket sales are used to provide a PIT scholarship for an outstanding drummer to be chosen during a special drum-off. Musicians scheduled to appear so far include drummers Gregg Bissonette, Chad Wackerman and Chase Duddy; percussionists Ritchie "Gajate" Garcia and Luis Conte, bassist John Peña, keyboard player David Garfield and saxophonist Brandon Fields, with more names to be added.

In addition to the drum-off and all-star concert, DW Drums is also co-sponsoring a drum clinic by Chad Wackerman at 3:00pm the same afternoon. All advance ticket holders to the concert will be admitted free to the clinic. The final competition for the Carlos Vega Memorial Scholorship will take place immediately following the clinic at 4:30pm.
