Here we bring to you a little taste of what went on a Guitar Center's Drum Off Preliminary #3 (#777 Orlando Store) held on October 8th, 2009. Seven contestants battled it out for the two spots to get them to the store finals, being held the same time next week. With 5 minutes to set up and 3 two play, they had to prove to judges, Jessie Caraballo, Anthony Lopez, and Luis Santiago Jr. that they have what it takes.
The night went back and all the drummers played their butts off and the judge's came to a tough decision. Drummers Angel Tolinchi and Zack Mitchel take home the spots that will take them to the store finals next week!
