Guinness Book of Records
We will be taking part in this Guinness Book of Records event for the largest full drum kit ensemble at Birmingham’s NIA.
The event will be raising money for the Multiple Sclerosis society so we have chosen a 14 year old promising drummer Zack street to represent Liberty drums who is already working hard to raise sponsorship. You can easily donate using www.justgiving.com/zackstreet and make a difference.
The current world record consisting of 533 drummers was set at “Woodstick 2006″ at the Qwest Event Centre, Seattle, Washington, USA, on 13 May 2006, under the direction of Sam Blumenthal (USA).
Woodstick was the brain child of Chris Kimball and co founder Don Bennett of Bennett Drum Studios and is now an annual event.
2008’s event took place over 9 cities across America and Canada. Over a thousand people participated in the event but the record for ‘Largest full drum kit ensemble’ still stands at 533
This year will see the UK’s first attempt at this record.
Liberty Drums Goals for 2009
As we begin the new year, I am happy to publish the Liberty Drums goals for 2009. We will continue our steadfast focus on innovative custom drum excellence and continue to build the portfolio, while further improving our customer service and experience.
1) Continuously improve product quality and range
2) Increase UK manufacture and facilities
3) Continue to focus on strategic initiatives and company growth
4) Enhance our client experience and endorsement artists
5) Maintain strong controls and risk management
6) Develop and train staff in new techniques
7) Improve overall brand experience
Liberty Drums is poised for healthy growth in 2009, in 2008 we experienced demand above our expectations without any advertising. This year we will begin to advertise in strategic media and events with new products in which will bring considerable exposure to the drumming community.
In turn we have everything in place to capture every interest and form those all important relationships with the clients and their requirements.
This is a rare opportunity and one which will be taken seriously to establish the Liberty Brand in the UK. We will move beyond the economic storm and grow our company which will rely on our flawless product and excellent customer service.

We are proud to release our AMX 2007 kit in Rhubarb fade. During our photo shoot of a number of product, many retailers and musicians turned up to see our AMX 2007 5 piece kit demonstrated straight out of the box, YES! straight out of the box with no baffling in or on the shells proved to be a jaw dropping experience.
