    Yo, "The Entity"! Thanks for posting. I can see how you might think something like that, but there was NOT any foul play here. I'm not even sure that IS Travis' kit. They are friends, and Travis filmed it for him. That's it. Bottom line, he was the best at the finals (no disrespect to other drummers..they were all great), and after 2 practices, he's killin' it. See his debut at Rock Falls Tavern on March 12th!

  • Nick Barrett....
    Looks like there was some politics involved with this one...he is playing Travis King's Kit in the video so that seems a little shady to me. Almost like this competiton was fixed...hmmmmmmm

  • The Winner
    I have watched all 5 of the finalist videos again. Although all are good, I feel Anthony Maiden has the best talent of all. He is your winner!

  • Drummers
    All of the players are definitely talented. Remember that the drummer is going to have to connect with the genre of music, have a stage presence, have the time, and have a good setup. Alot of these drummers are playing on drum sets that are highly unnecessary and take time to work with. Good luck to all contestants.

    I tried to get my video in on time, I believe it messed up when i tried to get my dad to send it to me. I was in the finals for the original. I think sludge should make the video update longer!

  • Out of all the videos the best drummer is definitely Anthony!

  • Great Drummer
    I am confused about Tommy Salami too. Where are the drums? It isn't a guitar search.
    That Anthony can rock. He is by far the best!!!! Good luck dude!!

  • Confused
    I'm a little confused over the Tommy Salami video. This is a drummer search. Where are the drums?

  • anonymous
    yeah the question about your comment is, how much creativity can you be allowed to show when you're in a cover band? hmmmm......

    This is a call to all hopefuls, you have some serious shoes to fill. In the eyes of the Build A Band, Travis is one of the greatest drummers in VA. Be ready to work.
    By MikeyRukus @ 01/28/10 04:54:49 PMreport abuse
  • sad to see Travis go, but it will be cool for someone who wants a chance in the band. good luck everyone
