A standard drum kit (5-piece drum kit, two crashes, one ride, one hi-hat, and a double pedal) will be provided. Teams are expected to bring other instruments with them.
Profanity is allowed but not encouraged in the lyrics. Teams are requested to submit the lyrics of all their songs before the beginning of the event to the organising team.
