Stora Trummispriset 2019

On October 1, 2019, the newly established Rockpodden Prize was awarded for the first time. The Rockpodden Prize will be divided into two categories annually; Rockpodden Prize and Rockpodden’s Great Drummer Award.

The second category, Rockpodden’s Great Drummer Award, is awarded to one of all the fantastic Swedish drummers who ”for many years enriched our lives both on stage and on record”.

The 2019 award went to the great drummer Robert Eriksson from The Hellacopters.

This commission included designing a prize, which would both feel grand, but also recurring on an annual basis. Combining both a traditional diploma with the drum as an instrument, all in gold to symbolize a first prize, soon became an obvious and successful move.
