I somehow ended up at the La Brea Tar Pits Friday night, and good thing I did. I knew some sort of event was going on but wasn’t prepared for the sheer weirdness of the experience. On 8.08.2008, 88 drummers played simultaneously for over 88 minutes. Lead by Legendary Japanese Noise rock band, The Boredoms, the ensemble played an incredible set. My favorite part was when the group started playing crescendos on their symbols. It sounded like ocean waves crashing in the distant.

1. La Brea Tar Pits, stand up! 2. 1, 2, 3… yup, 88 drummers.
