U.S.A.R.D. 2023 Convention - selected highlights - The U.S. Association of Rudimental Drummers

Selected highlights from the The United States Association of Rudimental Drummers (USARD) 2023 convention from April 14-15, 2023 in Seekonk, MA. This was my first time attending this event, and it exceeded my expectations. I had such a great time, saw some amazing drummer, got to reconnect with some old friends, made some new friends, and had the privilege of performing in front of an amazing audience.
Apologize to those participants who I wasn't able to record (there's a full list at the end of this video). It wasn't my original intention to document the whole weekend but the event turned out to be so rewarding that I wanted to share what I could, and to hopefully inspire others to attend in the future! (The logistics surrounding for my own performance with Jim Clark meant I simply wasn't present during a number of other presentations.)
Big shoutout to USARD President Brendan Mason and the whole team responsible for organizing and hosting what was truly a great event. I already can't wait for next year. 2024, Let's Go!
