Legendary Drummers The Appice Brothers Heading Down Under In 2017

The siblings will bring their 'Drum Wars' show to Australia in February

More The Appice Brothers The Appice Brothers

Superhuman skinsmen Carmine and Vinny Appice — collectively known as The Appice Brothers — are bringing their acclaimed show, Drum Wars, Down Under for a run of joint shows in February next year.

Having been a part of a who's who of iconic outfits and artists including Black Sabbath, Dio, Ozzy Osbourne, Rod Stewart, Vanilla Fudge, Blue Murder, Paul Stanley, King Kobra and more, Carmine and Vinny are achieving snappy, stick-twirling synergy by the bowlful with their joint effort. Backed by a roster of next-level musicians versatile enough to keep pace with the drummers' eclectic and diverse catalogue of hits, the brothers will deliver epic drum battles, massive solos and hard-rockin' tricks to make your head spin when they touch down for their dual Aussie showing.

The shows will be complemented by drum clinics, both of which are subject to extremely limited tickets, so you'll want to be quick if you want to complete the experience alongside heading out to a Drum Wars show.

Tickets for the 2017 Drum Wars tour, including meet-and-greet packages, will go on sale from 9am tomorrow, 27 September, via Hardline Media.
