Toy Drummers 2016 | Christmas at Disneyland | Festival of Holidays [DL-4K]

When I first looked at the schedule for this years Festival of Holidays entertainment at Disney’s California Adventure, one of the shows I was most curious about was the simply titled “Toy Drummers.” There was no picture. No description. We had little idea what this was. I mean, I assumed they would be live, full sized Toy Drummers, you know, doing toy drummer stuff. I thought it even likely that it would be drumline. But then the show started…

The group begins the show in a very traditional way. The group are essentially live action toy drummers. Toys come to life. They march in with a simple beat, then begin a brilliantly choreographed routine.

But the show really begins when the performance takes on a rock and roll flavor, beginning with the Red Hot Chilli Peppers version of the Little Drummer Boy. Each toy soldier decides they want to ad lib a bit, going on solo tangents until one of the other toy drummers brings them back in line. Then the bells start to ring, sleigh bells…and boy do they slay…

The group goes off to the Trans Siberian Orchestras rendition of Carol of the Bells and it is amazing. This is when they really show off their drum line chops, working in some drumstick judo and even go full on head banging. It’s so much fun and was such a surprise for what we thought was going to be a small quaint show.
