ATLANTA, GA - Sto Corp. announces the first annual Sto Bucket Drumming Contest, a competition to find the best bucket drummer in the building industry.

The competition is free and open to industry members in conjunction with any Sto distributor. All it takes is some talent, creativity and a few Sto buckets to get started.

You are free to bring in a "ringer" by recruiting the help of your local high school band's drum corp or the drummer from your favorite local club band or any of the undiscovered talents of your office staff, contractor crews or customers.

There are several categories with cash prizes for the winners. Categories include solo, ensemble, drum line and one specially design for children. Cash prizes range from $500 to $1,500 per category.

For inspiration and ideas, go to YouTube.com and search the phrase "bucket drummer" and you will see some examples of interesting performances. The deadline for submitting video's on YouTube is August 1, 2008. Complete rules and details are available on the Sto website at www.stocorp.com/bucketdrumcontest.htm

Entries will be judged for creativity, technical merit and skill, musicality, and showmanship.
