In 2005, Bart Elliott initiated the first annual community drum solo here at the Drummer Cafe. The purpose of the event is foster community among the Drummer Cafe community forum members and to further the art of drumming. Any community forum member can particlpate, using the drum or percussion set-up of their choice. There are typically some guidelines for each year's solo, and a unique loop or play-along is used for each participant to groove or solo against.
