The drummer who raises the most for the Women's Drum Center during this event gets bragging rights and a special recognition for helping the WDC fuel our mission.

Dedicate a drum solo to someone special, announced during certain times throughout the 12 hours.

We’ll share the solo to our social media as best we can, unless instructed otherwise.

Name a drummer and they have to draw a Drum Dare Challenge from our Drum Dare Challenge Jar during their time at the Drum-A-Thon.*

Drum dares include activities like playing the drum with one hand or a non-dominant hand for 5 minutes, playing on a different kind of drum, or playing standing up while moving in a circle.

Remember to name the drummer you're nominating for the Drum Dare Challenge by completing the survey during check-out.

*Drummer must be on-site during the event to complete the Drum Dare Challenge. No ticket refunds for incomplete Drum Dare Challenges.

Override the scheduled activity with a Power Play request for the group to play a specific song or style for 10 minutes.

Ticket holder must present ticket to group leader. Best for drummers on-site because virtual delivery is not supported at this time.
