VIDEO: Drummers Make Music Out of Scrap

If you like theatrical musical performers like Blue Man Group or Stomp, then you’ll love ScrapArtsMusic, a Vancouver-based quintet that fashions its percussive instruments from industrial materials that would have otherwise been discarded, ranging from accordion parts to artillery shells.

The group was founded by Gregory Kozak, a drummer with a passion for welding and recycling, and Justine Murdy, a designer who loves over-the-top performances.

After getting their big break with an appearance at an NBA half-time show, the ensemble has since toured the world and performed at the closing ceremonies of the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics.
