And the winner of YDOTY 2017 has been announced as Anmol Mohara from Aldershot, who delivered an outstanding performance. Congratulations to all who took part – all the hundreds of entrants, the Final 40 and the Final 10. The standard was exceptional, as it always seems to be, and getting better each year.

Thanks also to the gear sponsors – Gretsch Drums and Meinl Cymbals.

Thanks also to the companies who supplied the contents of each goodie bag – Gretsch, Meinl, Vic Firth, Evans drumheads, Remo Drumheads, ProMark, Dube percussion and Zildjian UK.

Thanks also to all those who attended the event, and those made sure all the entrants got to where they needed to be on time.

All 10 performances will be on Mike Dolbear’s YouTube channel soon.
