Drum Ecstasy is a live band from Belarus that plays heavy dance music using various bass guitar sounds, supported by a massive background of three and more drummers. In some compositions electric drills and saws noises and sound effects are used. In average Drum Ecstasy performance lasts 40-90 minutes, often slides and videos are shown as well.

The other two musicians use electrical saws, electrical drills, carbon-dioxide fire extinguishers, barrels, car discs and other industrial junk (which can be found at the nearby junk yards beforehand) besides the drums.
