On the 29th September 2007, Palmerlive held the sell-out concert 'The World's Greatest Drummer' to celebrate the music and the man who most agree was the world’s greatest drummer, Buddy Rich.

The 2008 show is set to be another sell out and early booking is advised. Now with 'The World's Greatest Drummer Big Band', where only the best UK session musicians have been selected, you will experience a show that's full of passion with drumming at it's very best.
