2,008 Drummers at the Beijing Olympics Opening Ceremonies
Posted on August 10th, 2008 by Dave
Leave it to China to put on such a crazy, spectacular display! Last Friday at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, China, the opening ceremonies kicked off with a countdown featuring 2,008 synchronized drummers.
While we can’t grab video from the NBC feed, someone who was in the stands has posted a video over at MySpace.
What’s the most amazing … these drummers are all sync’d without music!

Well, to those of us watching, there was no music, but I did see that they were wearing earpieces…
Wow .. 2008 wireless earpieces.
Totally.
My wife said, “I wonder how much they spent on wardrobe.” My response was, “I wonder how much they paid for ear monitors.” That’s a lot of moolah.
Quite possibly the most powerful gathering of people I have witnessed in my short 28 years on this planet. The culture, the grace, the intense pride and inspiring sounds of the opening games and in particular for me the drummers has yet again showm me that there are soo many things in our world that bind us, bring us together and allow us to see with clear eyes and feel with open hearts that we are all connected, we are all human.
Where can I buy the drummers program at the beginning of the 2008 China Olympics? cb9sellers@cox.net
