Drummathon X

Drummathon X in association with Roland will be... drum roll please... October 20, 2024 at Grandscape in The Colony, TX (25 miles north of downtown Dallas). This is the fourth year it will be held at this thriving entertainment district in October, which also happens to be Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Grandscape sees over 8 million visitors per year!

Drummers, musicians, and friends come together from all over the world to raise funds through their own online fundraising page to fight against breast cancer. The day of the event will feature live music interspersed with drum solos, as well as solos by some of the top celebrity rock star drummers - with a chance to drum alongside the rock stars! Simultaneously, attendees to this free family-friendly event can relax on the lawn or visit shops, restaurants, vendor booths, and autograph booths as well as browse our "touchless bid" silent auctions and our Official Merchandise. There will even be opportunities to snap a picture with our celebrity guests on the pink carpet. While at the show, MC's will be throwing out an array of giveaways from our amazing sponsors.

As always, Drummathon is FREE to attend and FREE to register to fundraise, and you don't have to be a drummer to join in on the fun - anyone can register and fundraise! This is your chance to release your inner drummer!

The top 25 fundraisers ($250 minimum) by October 6, 2024 at 7p CT will receive:

  1. A slot for the opportunity to play a timed drum solo at the event. NOTE: If you are one of the top 25 fundraisers, you can choose to accept or decline your drum solo spot. (Non-drummers, this is your chance to Release Your Inner Drummer!)
  2. A goody bag full of freebies
  3. Drummathon X t-shirt
  4. Drummathon X drumsticks
  5. Drummathon X medal

In addition to the above prizes, the top THREE fundraisers ($250 raised minimum) by October 6, 2024 at 7 p.m. CT will win:

  1. A 1st, 2nd or 3rd place trophy or plaque
  2. Hundreds of dollars worth of amazing prizes from our sponsors. (If you can't attend in person, we will ship right to your door!)

Drummathon Highlights




What is Drummathon?

Drummathon is an annual family-friendly fundraising event that brings together the drumming community (of all skill sets and ages) for one common goal: to fight breast cancer.

As Drummathon works to fight breast cancer, it is also a celebration of life, music, and passion! Top fundraising drummers have the opportunity to showcase their talent in front of family, friends and attendees! The event also features auctions, Official Breast Cancer Can Stick It! merchandise and Drummathon gear, along with some great musical guests throughout the event. It's fun for the whole family! Leading up to the event, drummers, musicians, and friends alike raise funds online to compete for a plethora of awesome prizes.

The 2015 inaugural event was hosted by Dan Shinder of Drum Talk TV and featured rock star royalty; drummers Carmine Appice (Ozzy, Rod Stewart, Ted Nugent), Vinny Appice (Black Sabbath, Dio, Heaven & Hell), and Matt Starr (Ace Frehley, Bang Tango, Mr. Big). Since that time, the celebrity alumni list has grown exponentially.

Drummathon is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to showcase your talent and help eradicate breast cancer at the same time -- an experience that can't be beat!
