Street Drum Corps started in April of 2004. This "brotherhood of unsung and talented performers" (Las Vegas Callback Newspaper) creates a show that is "well-choreographed" (OC Weekly) and exciting to watch.
SDC uses instruments such as hand drums, acoustic drum kits, buckets, kitchenware, recycled aluminum garbage cans, marching band equipment and a Moog Theremin. People from all over the world, from all walks of life, have witnessed the Street Drum Corps in action. SDC holds a summer and fall residency at Six Flags Magic Mountain Theme Park in Los Angeles. SDC has also performed at Universal Studios Hollywood. SDC performed at Chain Reaction for the NAMM kickoff party in Anaheim, CA. The show was a feature story on rollingstone.com. In past performances, Street Drum Corps has enjoyed the company of members of STOMP, No Doubt, Bad Religion, Good Charlotte, Atreyu, 30 Seconds To Mars, Strung Out, Alexis On Fire, and many others. Bert McCracken of The Used has performed with Street Drum Corps several times, and shares the stage with them for the song "Flaco 81" as well as part of his own band's set on their current tour.
The members of SDC are currently featured in an advertisement for Ahead's Laser Drumsticks, Peta, Hurley, Monster Energy, Draven Shoes, Protection Racket, and Thunder Echo Drums. SDC is featured in the new Las Vegas reality show "INKED" which debuted on the A&E Channel.
