Champion Panorama Drummer Leon 'Foster' Thomas - 2014, 2013, and 2005 - Phase II Pan Groove

 

Leon 'Foster' Thomas

He was the winning Panorama drummer for Phase II [Pan Groove]  in 2014, 2013 and 2005. Thomas shared his thoughts as follows, with When Steel Talks on some challenging aspects of drumming for Panorama Finals:

"There are quite a number of factors at play, but from the top of my head, is Staying focused, Hydrated, and controlling the rest of the rhythm section. The latter is key, most people in the rhythm section don't learn the song properly and are dependent on the drummer to cue them. If a rhythm section averages less than 9 out of 10 across the board it can be detrimental to the band."
