Behind every successful band in beach music is a good drummer. In many cases, you might not even notice how good the drummer really is playing. Of course, the occasional drum solo is entertaining and always brings applause and attention to the drummer. There has only been 2 drummers that have received the CBMA Instrumentalist of the year. Adam Barber, previously with The Craig Woolard Band received the award in 2012 and Camron Dudley who plays with Coastline received the award in 2014. As we play 3 hours of the best music in the world this morning on The Edge Radio Show, listen for the drums! Tell us who belongs on the list of great drummers of beach music.

Thanks for giving the drummers some acknowledgement!! All the drummers in this industry, past and present, are fantastic players and great guys!!

cameron s dudley best beachdrummer
Ricky Sabastion with The Entertainers….
BigTime’s Mike Harriss, a percussion major from UNC-G is as steady as they come. Never over plays but you can make sure that the tempo the song started with, will end the same way!! He’s still young (20’s) and will only get better…if that’s possible!!
Frankie Hoggard with Hip Pocket 3 is an awesome drummer too!!!
No doubt Mr. Cameron Dudley who is awesome and also Jerome Joseph and Melvin Turner who were drummers for the Executives, back up band for General Johnson and Chairmen of the Board.
