Guitar Center Orlando hosted the next heat of it's annual Drum-Off 2007.The winners of 8 stores within the southern district now had to battle it out for over $2000 in prizes and bragging rights for one of the worlds most famous drum competition's. Tension was thick as audience members and participants alike waited for the judges final decision. In the end it was Ruffin Jackson who stood out to become this years District Champion and earned the right to move on the Regional Finals in Clearlake,TX on Nov. 14th. Ruffin,store winner of Baton Rouge-La, has been playing drums for all of his life. Having toured with the group "Too Hypnotic" Ruffin now spends time sharing his talent with fellow musicians and playing for his home church back in Louisiana. Ironically, after speaking with Ruffin, he mentioned that while working for DHL he injured his right foot during a freight delivery the day before! Limping to the stage ever so humble, Mr. Jackson gained the respect and support of his fellow brethren as we wish him good luck and a speedy recovery.
