Drummathon returns to Dallas for our 12th annual event! Drummathon 2026 (presented by The Sound at Cypress Waters, in association with Roland) is happening Sunday, October 25 at The Sound at Cypress Waters in Dallas, TX. The Sound at Cypress Waters is a premier lakefront entertainment and dining destination located in North Dallas, TX. Situated on the shores of the 300-acre North Lake, it features a scenic lakeside stage and amphitheater, a dog park, and great views of the stage from all the surrounding restaurant patios!

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!

Attendees to this free family-friendly event can relax on the lawn, visit the array of restaurants, stop by autograph booths, browse our silent auctions, or peruse 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!

The top 25 fundraisers ($250 minimum) by October 11, 2026 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!)

TOP FUNDRAISERS - THE FINE PRINT:
If you are one of the top registered 25 fundraisers,

1. We are unable to modify the schedule or accommodate requests for your time slot. The person who raises the most funds will go on at the latest drum solo slot and slots will be filled backwards from there.
2. You may perform a solo no longer than one minute. We are unable to accommodate tracks or music accompaniment for top fundraising drum solos, except for the top three fundraisers who have the option to play with a track of their choice.
3. We are unable to have someone drum in your place. If there is a drummer in your life you want to have a slot, encourage them to start a fundraising page, then promote their link.
4. Each campaign can only have one person associated with it. Only that person is eligible to be a top fundraiser, win prizes and win a slot for a drum solo.

WARRIOR DRUM
The drum honoring and/or memorializing your favorite cancer warriors will be available for bid at auction and available for photos at the auction booth Drummathon 2026 at The Sound at Cypress Waters, Dallas, TX on October 25, 2026.

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!
