Event Description
Hungarian artist Kornel Horvath was voted the “Best Percussionist in the world in 2016” by the readers of British magazine Rhythm. London, UK drummer Gabor Dornyei is one of the most in demand and successful Solo Artists, Session Drummers and Drum Clinicians/Educators of his generations who emerged out of the UK/Europe in recent years. His solo film has been listed in DRUMEO’s Top 10 best drumming videos ever.
Together they are tHUNderduo. Their Drum Clinics and Masterclasses are also hugely in demand, and have held packed events hundreds of events around the country and now they are visiting Victoria!
"From haunting moments of silence to sudden onslaughts of raging rhythmic roar, the combined energy and technique of tHUNder Duo translates into waves of funky grooves, wild solos, and odd times that elevate listeners into a space where drums and percussion rule the world. Yes, this is tHUNder Duo – master percussionist Kornel Horvath and rising-star drummer Gabor Dornyei – whose tours of Europe and the UK are sold out events eliciting critical acclaim from the highest levels. Also, their DVD, Thunder Duo Live With Dom Famularo (Hudson Music) is a best seller. tHUNder Duo’s showcase performances and masterclasses at top USA/UK and European universities and their appearance at the massive NAMM Show in California, plus broadcasts to the world via Drum Channel from LA and DRUMEO, have not only boosted their popularity, but have reinforced their position as the world’s leading drums and percussion duo"
tHUNder Duo is a unique experience that combines diverse worlds of influence and directions of rhythmic pursuit, with Kornel and Gabor reinventing traditional styles from around the world as they seek out exciting new rhythms and grooves. At times the Duo stretches dangerously into the unknown. Then, with a stroke of brilliance, everything pulls together and the search is on for yet another head-spinning clave or funkily displaced groove.
This sensational duo is all about music with meaning. Yes, it rages, it roars, and it pulses as it pulls you into a very different world, but tHUNder Duo matters most because Kornel and Gabor are devoted to excellence as well as excitement. They know the music and its meaning. Exciting. Daring. Human.
