Vancouver's Expo '86 saw one of the most remarkable premieres in musical history, World Drums. World Drums was a collaboration of 250 of the world's greatest percussionists brought together to perform a new work by Canadian composer, John Wyre. Performers ranged from African tribal drummers to rock drummer Steve Gadd from New York; Gamelan orchestras from Indonesia to a military drum corps from England; Inuit elders from the Arctic Circle to a youthful Caribbean steel drum orchestra. John

Wyre forms the dramatic center of this whirlwind, masterminding and coordinating the massive undertaking.
