Well, we entered a drum in this competition for the first time. Must admit, I didn't have high expectations, but to my surprise, we came joint 3rd overall & second in our category (the biggest category in the competition). Of course, it's all subjective, but from what I can make out, as fairly organised as it's possible to be.
Anyhow, here's the video of the subjective judging section featuring our drum (there's one of these clips for each drum)

I'm pretty pleased with this, although I did feel we got marked down unduly on a couple of non issues. It's not the judges fault, they comment on what they see, but without the benefit of answers to their questions. I have provided answers to the points they raised in the text below the Youtube judging clip. Frustrating really, but it gives me a valuable insight into how our drum is likely to be perceived without the benefit of supporting information. For that alone, it was worth entering
